QuestionQ14

Privacy Operational Lifecycle: Assess

Which of the following circumstances will definitely require a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)?

  • A When a company acquires a new business entity.
  • B When Human Resources engages a new employee benefit provider.
  • C When a new system is deployed to track an individual’s location or behavior.
  • D When a new application is developed to track data subject access requests.
Explanation

Tracking an individual’s location or behaviour is high-risk personal-data processing because it can enable intrusive monitoring and materially affect privacy. DPIA guidance identifies location and behavioural tracking as processing that requires assessment for high-risk impacts before deployment.
