27That being so, it should be noted that Article 4(2) of the GDPR defines the concept of ‘processing’ as ‘any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means’. In a non-exhaustive enumeration, beginning with the wording ‘such as’, that provision refers to examples of processing as including the consultation and use of personal data. It is apparent from the wording of that provision, and in particular from the expression ‘any operation’, that the EU legislature intended the concept of ‘processing’ to have a broad meaning (see, to that effect, judgment of 24 February 2022, Valsts ieņēmumu dienests (Processing of personal data for tax purposes), C‑175/20, EU:C:2022:124, paragraph 35).
