Data Privacy Impact Assessment

"I need a Data Privacy Impact Assessment for our new AI-powered employee monitoring system that will be implemented across our German offices in March 2025, with particular focus on workplace surveillance regulations and works council requirements."

Document background
A Data Privacy Impact Assessment is required under German law when processing operations are likely to result in high risks to individuals' rights and freedoms. This document must be completed before initiating high-risk processing activities, such as large-scale processing of sensitive data, systematic monitoring of public areas, or using new technologies. It follows requirements set by the GDPR, German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and guidelines from German supervisory authorities. The assessment helps organizations identify and minimize data protection risks, demonstrate compliance with legal obligations, and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures. Regular reviews and updates are necessary to ensure continued effectiveness and compliance with evolving data protection standards.
