54That being so, as has been indicated in paragraph 46 above, having regard to the interests involved forms part of the examination of the necessity and proportionality of the measure, which are provided for in Article 6(3) and (4) of the GDPR and which condition the lawfulness of the personal data processing. In that regard, account should therefore also be taken of Article 5(1) thereof, and in particular of the principle of ‘data minimisation’ set out in Article 5(1)(c), which gives expression to the principle of proportionality. According to that data minimisation principle, personal data must be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (see, to that effect, judgment of 22 June 2021, Latvijas Republikas Saeima (Penalty points), C‑439/19, EU:C:2021:504, paragraph 98 and the case-law cited).
