Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)
At Dyfed-Powys Police, we use Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) as a process to help us identify and minimise the data protection risks of a project, especially for processing that is likely to result in a high risk to individuals.
To assess the level of risk, both the likelihood and the severity of any impact on individuals must be considered. It is also good practice to carry out a DPIA if there is a change to the nature, scope or purposes of our processing; this is often a mandatory data protection requirement.
See below for our Data Protection Impact Assessment summaries.
