Jul 22, 2022 at 18:13 comment added amon @SunilGupta the point is that a GDPR legitimate interest (LI) requires a balancing test. Here, the data subjects are (a) the person whose contact book you're uploading, and (b) the person described by that contact. You would have to balance their interests/rights/freedoms against your interest in providing default contact pics. There's a slim chance that you might have a LI if both parties can reasonably expect this, in particular if everyone involved is a user of your platform. But I strongly suspect that your interest does not outweigh those people, especially considering personality rights.
Jul 22, 2022 at 13:15 comment added Sunil Gupta This is a teaching/student app. When a teacher/student adds a new contact (which can be via a telephone number, may not be in that user's phone book) - I wanted a way to show a profile picture. There are apps (like TrueCaller, which also have user consent) to show the phone users profile to others, when they call someone. Yes, these do not show profile photos from their phonebook... anyway, it's likely that my reasoning will not be a 'legitimate basis' under GDPR...
