Document background
A Data Privacy Impact Assessment is a mandatory requirement under Philippine data protection law for processing operations likely to result in high risks to data subjects' rights and freedoms. This document must be completed before initiating any high-risk processing activities, as stipulated by the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. The DPIA helps organizations identify and minimize privacy risks, demonstrate accountability, and ensure compliance with Philippine data protection requirements. It is particularly crucial when implementing new technologies, processing sensitive personal information, or conducting large-scale data processing operations. The assessment should be reviewed and updated periodically or when there are significant changes to the processing operations.
