A DPIA is mandatory for data processing operations which, given their nature, context and objective, represent a high risk to privacy. There is certainly a high risk in the following cases:

– If you assess individuals on the basis of personal characteristics and base decisions on those characteristics. This includes profiling and forecasting;
– If you process sensitive personal data. For example data regarding health, data on crime or political preferences, on a large scale;
– If you monitor people in public places systematically and on a large scale (e.g. camera surveillance).

GDPR DPIA template

A DPIA is an instrument that allows you to inventory a data processing operation before such operation is carried out so that measures can be taken to reduce those risks. It does not have to eradicate all risk. Furthermore should help you minimize and determine whether or not the level of risk is acceptable in the circumstances, taking into account the benefits of what you want to achieve.

Don’t forget that failing to carry out a DPIA in these cases may leave you open to enforcement action, including a fine of up to 20 million euro.
