This is the help text the console shows in the help panel on this page.

Built-in Categories

• Contact details
• Financial data

• Technical/device data

Special Categories (Art. 9) — extra protection required

• Genetic data
• Racial or ethnic origin

Custom Categories

Click Add Category and enter a Code (for example biometric_data), a Label and, if needed, switch on Special Category. Custom categories can be edited and deleted.

Special-Category Flag
