This dataset is a central catalogue of Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) of smart city projects that collect personal information in public spaces. By publishing this in one place for the first time, it will enable public transparency and support good practice among operators. A DPIA helps to identify and minimise the risks of a project that uses personal data.

This dataset can be a great resource for understanding the corporate hierarchy, analyzing ownership structures, conducting due diligence, or evaluating potential business partnerships.

A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is one of the ways to find out what privacy risks people face when information is collected, used, stored, or shared about them. This helps the London Borough of Barnet find issues so that risks can be taken away or lowered to a level that is acceptable. It also cuts down on privacy breaches and complaints that could hurt the Council's reputation or lead to action by the Information Commissioner (the government watchdog). The London Borough of Barnet makes DPIAs public in with its Data Charter and the 2018 Data Protection Act and UK GDPR.

A privacy risk assessment framework for practitioners to help support with conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs). The framework will also allow practitioners to create and maintain a GDPR compliant data register and a privacy risk register that will access risks to both the organisation (the data controller) and the individual(s) whose data is being processed (the data subject(s)). If you need any support with using this framework, do please reach out to me (jhenriksenbulmer@bournemouth.ac.uk) Thanks for showing an interest Jane Henriksen-Bulmer

With the implementation of GDPR in the European Union as of ************, concerns have surfaced about collecting and using consumer data across all types of organizations.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic brought global disruption to health, society and economy, including to the conduct of clinical research. In the European Union (EU), the legal and ethical framework for research is complex and divergent. Many challenges exist in relation to the interplay of the various applicable rules, particularly with respect to compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This study aimed to gain insights into the experience of key clinical research stakeholders [investigators, ethics committees (ECs), and data protection officers (DPOs)/legal experts working with clinical research sponsors] across the EU and the UK on the main challenges related to data protection in clinical research before and during the pandemic.Materials and methodsThe study consisted of an online survey and follow-up semi-structured interviews. Data collection occurred between April and December 2021. Survey data was analyzed descriptively, and the interviews underwent a framework analysis.Results and conclusionIn total, 191 respondents filled in the survey, of whom fourteen participated in the follow-up interviews. Out of the targeted 28 countries (EU and UK), 25 were represented in the survey. The majority of stakeholders were based in Western Europe. This study empirically elucidated numerous key legal and ethical issues related to GDPR compliance in the context of (cross-border) clinical research. It showed that the lack of legal harmonization remains the biggest challenge in the field, and that it is present not only at the level of the interplay of key EU legislative acts and national implementation of the GDPR, but also when it comes to interpretation at local, regional and institutional levels. Moreover, the role of ECs in data protection was further explored and possible ways forward for its normative delineation were discussed. According to the participants, the pandemic did not bring additional legal challenges. Although practical challenges (for instance, mainly related to the provision of information to patients) were high due to the globally enacted crisis measures, the key problematic issues on (cross-border) health research, interpretations of the legal texts and compliance strategies remained largely the same.

A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) pre-screen is a shortened version of the full DPIA and is used to determine if the full assessment is needed. It should be carried out before any new data processing starts (or if the processing is already happening, before a change that will involve a high risk to individuals starts). In many cases the pre-screen is sufficient to assess and manage any risks and a full assessment is not required. Like full DPIAs, these are published in accordance with the Council's Data Charter and also the GDPR/Data Protection Act 2018.”

Between 2018 and 2022, there has been a significant increase in the level of awareness around the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) among European users. In 2018, when the GDPR was first applied, the United Kingdom had the highest level of awareness, with 32 percent of respondents agreeing or strongly agreeing with the statement: "I am aware of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that will be introduced in May 2018". In 2022, the share of UK respondents agreeing with the statement increased to 73 percent. France had the lowest level of awareness in 2018, 20 percent, whereas in 2022 it reached 47 percent but remained the lowest among other European markets.

A data protection impact assessment (DPIA) is a process to identify privacy risks to individuals in the collection, use, storing, and disclosure of information. This allows Camden to identify problems so that risks can be removed or reduced to acceptable levels. It also reduces privacy breaches and complaints which can damage the Council’s reputation or enforcement action against it by the Information Commissioner (the regulator). We publish these as a dataset in accordance with the Council's Data Charter and also the GDPR/Data Protection Act 2018.
