Holding (summary, not the official text)
A medical service may process an employee's health data to assess work capacity under Art. 9(2)(h), but it also needs an Art. 6(1) basis; compensation under Art. 82 is compensatory, not punitive, and requires fault-based liability with a presumption of fault.
