Document background
The Data Privacy Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a mandatory requirement under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45/2021 for certain types of high-risk data processing activities. This document should be used when implementing new systems, processes, or technologies that involve processing personal data, particularly when the processing is likely to result in high risks to individuals' rights and freedoms. The DPIA helps organizations comply with UAE data protection requirements, including specific regulations in financial free zones like DIFC and ADGM. It provides a systematic approach to evaluating privacy risks, documenting compliance measures, and demonstrating accountability to regulatory authorities. The assessment must be conducted before processing begins and should be regularly reviewed throughout the project lifecycle.
