c) purely personal or household activity

2 preliminary rulings

Judgment of 11 Dec 2014, C-212/13 (Ryneš)

The second indent of Article 3(2) of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data must be interpreted as meaning that the operation of a camera system, as a result of which a video recording of people is stored on a continuous recording device such as a hard disk drive, installed by an individual on his family home for the purposes of protecting the property, health and life of the home owners, but which also monitors a public space, does not amount to the processing of data in the course of a purely personal or household activity, for the purposes of that provision.  

Judgment of 6 Nov 2003, C-101/01 (Bodil Lindqvist)

Such processing of personal data is not covered by any of the exceptions in Article 3(2) of Directive 95/46.
