 First Data Protection Principle - Isle of Man Government Office of the Data Protection Supervisor -
Where personal data are obtained directly from the individual then a fair processing notice must be given or made available to the individual either before the data are obtained, or at the time of collection.
When data are obtained from a third party then a notice must generally be given to the individual when the data are first processed or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
Therefore it would be a breach of the first principle to collect and process someone’s personal data without meeting at least one of the conditions.

From the formation of first the Universalists, then the Unitarians, into a loose association of congregations, there has been the almost unbending commitment to remaining a religious organization without a creed.

 FIRST PRINCIPLE
I imagine the intent behind writing this principle was to make a statement about gender equality, race relations, disability, sexual orientation, age, social status, and so forth.
We wouldn’t need this first principle about the worth and dignity of all if it were some provable, or self-evident truth that everyone accepted.
For those of you who accept the former, that worth is a quality – that it is the quality of humanness that gives everyone worth, that everyone has equal worth simply by virtue of being human, regardless of their actions and attitudes, hang on to that.

 Expert Project Management: First Principles of Project Management - Introduction
Similarly, the principles of project management can be applied to any level or branch of a project that falls under a different area of responsibility in the overall project organization.

 The First Emanation
The first emanation of the Absolute, and the source of all subsequent manifestation, is a female principle, variously referred to as Thought, Providence, Fore-thought or Foreknowledge (in Greek, all these words have female gender), and "Barbelo".

But still they are not some-thing separate from her, but rather part of a single whole, the "five-aeon", of which she is the core.
