316It should be noted that, in so far as the exception laid down in Article 2(2)(a) of the GDPR renders inapplicable the system of protection of personal data laid down by that regulation and thus deviates from the objective underlying it, namely to ensure the protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data, such as the right to respect for private and family life and the right to the protection of personal data, guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the Charter, that exception must, like the other exceptions to such applicability laid down in Article 2(2), be interpreted strictly (see, to that effect, judgments of 14 February 2019, Buivids, C‑345/17, EU:C:2019:122, paragraph 41 and the case-law cited, and of 22 June 2021, Latvijas Republikas Saeima (Penalty points), C‑439/19, EU:C:2021:504, paragraph 62 and the case-law cited).
