Short answer
What does GDPR Article 5 require, and what outcome does the rule tree give?
GDPR Article 5 is tested here by a deterministic rule tree of 3 rules, built from the article's own conditions. The tree reads your facts and names the outcome that applies, starting with The principles are met in the parts checked, carrying paragraph citation, content hash and read date 2026-08-18 against CELEX 32016R0679. The outcome is a machine classification, not a compliance decision.
GDPR Article 5Checked against the publisher 2026-08-18Official text
- The principles are met in the parts checked. Purpose limitation, data minimisation and storage limitation are stated as met, and accountability is documented.
- Accountability is not demonstrated. Article 5(2) requires the controller to demonstrate compliance. Without documentation the requirement is not met.
- At least one principle in Article 5(1) fails. The processing conflicts with a principle in Article 5(1) and cannot rest on Article 6 until the gap is closed.
