1. Introduction
1.1. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018
(DPA) require the University as a data controller to consider and apply appropriate
measures designed to implement their key principles effectively. Necessary
safeguards must be incorporated into all activities involving the processing of
personal data in order to ensure that the rights and freedoms of individuals are
protected. This is known as “Data Protection by Design”.
1.2. A key element of the GDPR’s focus on accountability and Data Protection by Design
is the requirement to undertake a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) (often
referred to as a Privacy Impact Assessment) where any processing of personal data
is “likely to result in a high risk” to the rights and freedoms of individuals.
1.3. A DPIA therefore serves as a tool to help the University to identify, evaluate and
mitigate risks to individuals arising as a result of the processing of their personal
data. At the same time, a DPIA should ensure compliance with data protection law
and other legal and regulatory requirements (for example, the Equality Act 2010).
1.4. A failure to undertake a DPIA when required under the GDPR may result in a fine of
up to €10 million or 20% of total global annual turnover, whichever is higher.
2. About this Policy
