Data Privacy

A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is a structured process used to evaluate the potential effects of a project, system, or policy on personal privacy. It identifies and mitigates privacy risks by analyzing how personal data is collected, stored, shared, and protected. By involving stakeholders and incorporating privacy considerations from the outset, a PIA helps organizations ensure compliance with legal requirements and foster trust with individuals. Ultimately, this assessment serves as a proactive measure to safeguard personal data and enhance transparency in data handling practices.
