It is also apparent from Article 1(2) of the GDPR, read in conjunction with recitals 4 and 10 thereof, that that regulation has the objective in particular of ensuring a high level of protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data; that right is also recognised in Article 8 of the Charter and is closely connected to the right to respect for private life, enshrined in Article 7 of the Charter (judgment of 1 August 2022, Vyriausioji tarnybinės etikos komisija, C‑184/20, EU:C:2022:601, paragraph 61). As the Advocate General also observed in particular in point 235 of his Opinion, for as long as the conditions governing the legal processing of personal data under that regulation are fulfilled, such processing meets, in principle, the requirements of Articles 7 and 8 of the Charter (see, by analogy, judgment of 27 September 2017, Puškár, C‑73/16, EU:C:2017:725, paragraph 102).
