of, or correct attribution of personal data to,
the holder of the identity card, where such correct
identification or attribution is or will be necessary:
2.3.3.1
for
the advancement of the interest of the holder;
Note:
For
example, a doctor may require a patient's
ID card number to ensure that his past medical
records are correctly attributed to him to
enable better treatment.
2.3.3.2
for
the prevention of detriment to any person
other than the data user;
Note:
The
ID card number provided by a patient in the
previous example may also prevent medication
being given wrongly to that or some other
patient as a result of misidentification.
or
2.3.3.3
to safeguard against damage or loss on the
part of the data user which is more than trivial
in the circumstances;
Note:
For
example, a driver in a motor accident may
collect the ID card number of the other party
to facilitate a future claim.
