Article 35 of the GDPR requires a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) when the processing of personal data, especially when using new technologies, is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, such as customers or employees.
When deploying Copilot, a privacy impact assessment is often necessary due to the introduction of new technology, large-scale processing of personal data, the combination of multiple data sets containing personal information, and potential automated decision-making.
By conducting the assessment with PrivacyDesigner, you ensure that Copilot’s privacy risks and data protection requirements are properly identified, evaluated, and documented.
The report includes a visual data flow diagram that helps your organization clearly understand how Copilot operates, making it easier to identify and assess risks. The diagram, along with supporting descriptions and inventories, meets DPIA requirements by providing a systematic overview of personal data processing.
