DPIA
DPIA Screening Questions below are used by a Scottish local authority.

If your local authority requires a DPIA for websites, please check with them in the first instance.
| Number | Screening question | Further information | Yes/No |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Does the initiative involve evaluating or scoring individuals (including profiling and predicting)? | Such processing could relate for example to an individual’s work performance, economic situation, health status, personal preferences or interests, reliability, or behaviour, location or movements. E.g. scoring how likely a member of staff is to contract Covid based on their age and health conditions; grading an individual’s job based on various criteria; EARs to calculate work performance; etc. | No |
| 2. | Does the initiative involve automated decision-making that may have a significant effect on an individual? | Such processing involves where a computer system analyses personal data about an individual and then decides about the individual (where there is no human input to the decision-making). E.g. calculating an individual’s credit score; | No |
| 3. | Does the initiative involve systematic monitoring? | This involves processing used to observe, monitor or control individuals. E.g. installing a CCTV system on Council premises; systematic monitoring of internet use; bodet time keeping; etc. | No |
| 4. | Does the initiative involve the processing of ‘sensitive personal data’? | This includes any processing of sensitive personal data: – racial or ethnic origin; – political opinions; – religious or philosophical beliefs; – trade union membership; – genetic data; – biometric data; – health data; – sex life or sexual orientation; | No |
| 5. | Does the initiative involve processing personal data on a large scale? | There is no specific definition of ‘large scale’ but the following should be considered: • The number of individuals affected • The volume of personal data • The range of personal data • The duration or permanence of the processing activity • The geographical extent of the processing activity. e.g. implementing a new system within a school or across a number of schools; implementing a new system involving all staff within a Service or across the Council; For non-sensitive personal data, an indication of what large-scale means could be 500 or more individuals. | No |
| 6. | Does the initiative involve datasets that have been matched or combined? | Such processing involves matching or combining more than one dataset e.g. information from Council Tax and CRM; information from Council Tax and Waste; etc. | No |
| 7. | Does the initiative involve the personal data of vulnerable people? | This relates to the processing of personal data where there could be an imbalance of power between the individual and the Council, or the processing involves a vulnerable section of society. E.g. processing of children’s personal data; processing of vulnerable adult’s data. | No |
| 8. | Does the initiative involve the use or application of innovative technological or organisational solutions? | New technology can often involve novel ways of collecting and using personal data that individuals may not reasonably expect. E.g. using fingerprint recognition technology to control access to a building or system; | No |
| 9. | Does the initiative involve the transfer of personal data outside of the European Union? | This processing relates to the sending of any personal data to countries outside of the European Union. E.g. to the USA. | No |
| 10. | Does the initiative prevent individuals from exercising a right or using a service or contract? | This includes personal data processing that takes place in a public area that passers-by cannot avoid, or processing that aims to allow or refuse an individual’s access to a service. E.g. advising individuals that if they do not consent to processing they cannot use the service. | No |
