Privacy Impact assessment is a process which allows you to identify any impact on privacy where a new service or system (project) is introduced into your business.
This guidance can be used in conjunction with the template as a practical tool to assess your current practices, but it is essential that it is used whenever there is a change in the way you use or handle personal data.
This guidance relates to the template also available as a suggested format for completing your privacy impact assessment and should not be relied upon as legal advice. Advice or guidance can be sought from a legal representative or you can access the legislation through the ICO.
