Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a comprehensive process aimed at identifying and mitigating privacy risks associated with processing personal data. Under data protection legislation, organisations may be required to conduct a DPIA prior to the processing of personal data that may result in high risks to individual (data subject) rights and freedoms.
What types of Data Processing operations require a DPIA?
It is necessary for an organisation to conduct a DPIA where using new technologies, processes personal data in way that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of an individual. In particular, a DPIA may be necessary where an organisation:
-
Uses systematic and extensive profiling with significant effects
-
Processes special category or criminal offence data on a large scale
-
Systematically monitors publicly accessible places on a large scale
-
Processes sensitive data or special categories of data
-
Will conduct automated decision-making that have legal or similar significant effects on individuals
-
Transfers personal data to countries outside a specific region (EEA/EU, China, Brazil, etc)
-
Merges or matches datasets from different sources that could have privacy implications
Why conduct a DPIA?
There are several benefits to properly conducting a DPIA. They include:
Risk identification and mitigation:
Identify and understand potential risks to individuals’ data privacy before processing takes place. This allows an organisation to implement measures to reduce or mitigate risks.
Compliance with legislation:
Conducting DPIAs forms part of demonstrating that your organisation complies with the data
protection legislation.
Enhanced trust:
Enhances trust between individuals, customers, and stakeholders, fostering better relationships.
Data protection by design and default:
Reduces cost and disruption of implementing data protection safeguards by integrating them into project/process design at an early stage.
Cost reduction:
Reduces operation costs by optimising information flows within a project and eliminating unnecessary data collection and processing.
