PRIVACY IMPACT ASSESSMENT TEMPLATE
Privacy impact assessment screening questions
These questions are intended to help you decide whether a PIA is
necessary. Answering ‘yes’ to any of these questions is an indication
that a PIA would be a useful exercise. You can expand on your
answers as the project develops if you need to.
Will the project involve the collection of new information
about individuals?
Will the project compel individuals to provide information
about themselves?
Will information about individuals be disclosed to
organisations or people who have not previously had routine
access to the information?
Are you using information about individuals for a purpose it
is not currently used for, or in a way it is not currently used?
Does the project involve you using new technology that
might be perceived as being privacy intrusive? For example,
the use of biometrics or facial recognition.
Will the project result in you making decisions or taking
action against individuals in ways that can have a significant
impact on them?
Is the information about individuals of a kind particularly
likely to raise privacy concerns or expectations? For
example, health records, criminal records or other
information that people would consider to be private.
Will the project require you to contact individuals in ways
that they may find intrusive?
