44Lastly, as regards the purpose of the GDPR, it should be pointed out that its purpose is, inter alia, as is apparent from recital 10 of that regulation, to ensure a high level of protection of natural persons within the European Union (judgment of 6 October 2020, La Quadrature du Net and Others, C‑511/18, C‑512/18 and C‑520/18, EU:C:2020:791, paragraph 207). In that regard, as the Advocate General observed, in essence, in point 14 of his Opinion, the general legal framework created by the GDPR implements the requirements arising from the fundamental right, protected by Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, to the protection of personal data, in particular the requirements expressly laid down in Article 8(2) thereof (see, to that effect, judgment of 9 March 2017, Manni, C‑398/15, EU:C:2017:197, paragraph 40).
