Privacy Impact Assessment
A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is a process used to evaluate how a project, system, or initiative may affect individuals’ privacy. It identifies potential privacy risks and assesses how personal information is collected, used, shared, and protected. By conducting a PIA, organizations can ensure they comply with privacy laws and regulations, safeguard personal data, and maintain public trust. The assessment helps organizations minimize potential harm and develop strategies to enhance privacy protections before implementing a new initiative or technology.
