DPIA
Formal definition
DPIA: A Data Protection Impact Assessment is a documented process used to identify and reduce privacy risks before high-risk personal-data processing begins.
What this actually means for you
Teams must assess supporter and beneficiary privacy impact before launching new CRM workflows or profiling. In practice, this is how dpia should be applied in your charity.
Example: Before introducing automated supporter scoring, the charity completes a DPIA and records safeguards, retention, and lawful basis.
