The exchange of relevant information between the lead supervisory authority and the other supervisory authorities concerned is an important element to support the spirit of sincere and effective cooperation. That exchange, and the timely provision of specific information by the lead supervisory authority, is a continuous process throughout the course of an investigation and the documents and details required can vary depending on the complexity of the case. Depending on the stage of the investigation and the circumstances of a case, relevant information could include, inter alia, the exchange of correspondence with the controller or the data subject with respect to a complaint or investigation, the preparatory documents for an audit or inspection, or a preliminary technical or legal assessment by the lead supervisory authority as a result of a specific step in its investigation.
