Document lawful basis: Which evidence should resolve approval uncertainty first?

AIGP Understanding How Laws, Standards and Frameworks Apply to AI Hard

Public visibility is insufficient; approval needs documented lawful-basis, compatibility, and special-category analysis.

The question

A housing administrator in the EU, subject to the GDPR, proposes using applicants’ public social-media posts for an AI affordability screen. Some posts reveal health information, and the team has not settled its legal basis. Which evidence should resolve approval uncertainty first?

  1. Rely on public visibility as permission for housing screening
    Public accessibility is not a blanket GDPR exemption, particularly where sensitive information may be processed or inferred.
  2. Collect more public posts to improve predictive accuracy
    More publicly accessible data does not resolve the unresolved legal basis or special-category processing uncertainty.
  3. Document lawful basis, purpose compatibility, and special-category analysis ✓
    Public availability does not remove GDPR duties; approval requires evidence addressing lawful basis, compatible purpose, and possible special-category processing.
  4. Ask the vendor whether its model excludes sensitive attributes
    A model setting may reduce use but does not establish lawful basis, compatible reuse, or treatment of inferred sensitive information.
The trap
Publicly accessible does not mean legally unrestricted; identify the processing purpose and sensitive-data implications.

How to remember it

Public visibility is insufficient; approval needs documented lawful-basis, compatibility, and special-category analysis.
