A privacy impact assessment framework for data protection and privacy rights

Abstract

This report reviews the privacy impact assessment (PIA) methodologies of seven countries and 10 PIA case studies. No other published report, to our knowledge, has done this. Thus, it represents the most complete compendium and analysis of PIA policies and practices yet compiled and published (on the PIAF website www.piafproject.eu). PIAF is the acronym for a Privacy Impact Assessment Framework.The report is the first deliverable prepared for the European Commission's Directorate- General Justice under the Fundamental Rights and Citizenship Programme, Grant Agreement number: JUST/2010/FRAC/AG/1137 - 30-CE-0377117/00-70. The PIAF project kicked off in January 2011 and finishes in August 2012.
