Pre-DPIA Screening

Do I need a DPIA?

Answer a few questions to screen whether a Data Protection Impact Assessment is required for a planned processing operation. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent or stored — and produces a determination record you can print or save.

Title of the processing operation

Briefly, what is the planned processing?

Q2 · Does it involve the personal data of more than 20,000 data subjects?

Yes No

Q3 · Does it involve sensitive personal data (including financial) of more than 10,000 data subjects?

Yes No

Q4 · Any automated decision-making or profiling?

Under the ADMP guideline, a DPIA must be carried out before any automated decision-making or profiling activity, regardless of scale.

Yes No

Q5 · Any of these higher-risk factors? (optional)

Systematic monitoring / tracking of location or behaviour Large-scale processing of sensitive data Data of vulnerable groups (e.g. children) New or novel technology Cross-border transfer to a jurisdiction lacking adequate protection Matching or combining datasets

This screening aid reflects the pre-DPIA thresholds and the automated-decision rule at a high level. It is a compliance aid, not legal advice. The determination must be revisited if the processing changes materially, and confirmed by an appropriately qualified person.
