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

The dataset contains news articles from French, German, UK, and US sources about GDPR media discourse.

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.”

A February 2023 survey in the United Kingdom (UK) found that around 13 percent of the respondents aged 55 years and older used a virtual private network (VPN) daily. Meanwhile, nearly 42 percent of them said they had never used it. Among the individuals between 16 and 24 years, approximately 11 percent used VPNs daily, while another 20.91 percent said they had never heard of it.

GDPR Compliance for In-Cabin Analytics Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the Global GDPR Compliance for In-Cabin Analytics market size was valued at $1.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $4.8 billion by 2033, expanding at a robust CAGR of 16.5% during 2024–2033. The primary driver for this impressive growth is the increasing integration of advanced data-driven technologies within vehicles, coupled with stringent data privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As automotive manufacturers and mobility service providers leverage in-cabin analytics for enhanced safety, personalization, and efficiency, ensuring GDPR compliance has become a critical requirement. This convergence of regulatory necessity and technological advancement is fueling market expansion, with both established OEMs and emerging mobility players prioritizing secure, privacy-respecting analytics solutions.

Regional Outlook

Europe currently commands the largest share of the GDPR Compliance for In-Cabin Analytics market, accounting for approximately 38% of the global revenue in 2024. This regional dominance is attributed to the early and rigorous enforcement of GDPR, which has set a high bar for data privacy and security in connected vehicles. European automotive OEMs, such as Volkswagen, BMW, and Daimler, have proactively invested in GDPR-compliant in-cabin analytics platforms to ensure legal conformity and maintain consumer trust. The region's mature automotive market, advanced regulatory infrastructure, and strong consumer awareness regarding data protection have collectively fostered an environment where GDPR-compliant solutions are not just preferred, but mandated. Furthermore, collaborations between technology providers, automakers, and regulatory bodies have accelerated the development and deployment of privacy-centric in-cabin analytics across Western Europe, particularly in Germany, France, and the UK.

The Asia Pacific region is forecasted to be the fastest-growing market, with a projected CAGR of 20.1% from 2024 to 2033. Rapid urbanization, increasing vehicle ownership, and significant investments in smart mobility infrastructure are propelling the adoption of in-cabin analytics across China, Japan, South Korea, and India. While GDPR is a European regulation, its principles are being adopted by multinational automotive OEMs operating in Asia Pacific, especially as global supply chains become more integrated. Moreover, rising consumer expectations for personalized and safe in-cabin experiences are prompting regional automakers and fleet operators to implement GDPR-like compliance frameworks. The influx of foreign direct investment, coupled with government initiatives to promote intelligent transportation systems, is expected to further accelerate market growth in this region.

Emerging economies in Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are gradually recognizing the importance of GDPR compliance in automotive analytics, though adoption remains at a nascent stage. Localized challenges such as limited regulatory enforcement, varying levels of digital infrastructure, and lower consumer awareness about data privacy present hurdles. However, as multinational automotive companies expand their footprint and as governments begin to align their data protection policies with international standards, these regions are expected to witness a steady uptick in demand. The growing penetration of connected vehicles and the increasing influence of global supply chains are likely to drive future investments in GDPR-compliant in-cabin analytics, albeit at a more measured pace compared to mature markets.

Report Scope

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.
