From a legal perspective, the ultimate goal is to create one overarching Data Protection Impact Assessment report (DPIA) for surveys that employ one or more smart features from a specified set of smart features. The emphasis on a set of smart features is made because new features may be developed and/or added gradually in time. It is the task of the Smart Survey Implementation (SSI) project to create a first overarching DPIA for features used in the three SSI case studies receipt processing, geolocation (geo-tracking) and energy meter data donation. Given that in time more features and more applications will be added, the general DPIA will, by nature, be a dynamic document.
The main goals of WP5 are:
Identify legal requirements specific to shared smart microservices.
Determine what may be considered informed consent for different smart features.
Determine decision rules in making trade-offs between in-house processing and in-device processing, i.e. data minimisation/privacy by design versus quality control, including role of Privacy-Enhancing-Techniques (PET)
Determine guidelines for third-party-involvement
Make updating of DPIA for new smart features more efficient
Harmonize ESS-wide legal perceptions of NSI’s
Confront legal requirements with ethical/NSI-policy requirements
Aim of the first deliverable is to share a useful template of Data Protection Impact Analysis (DPIA) and a guide to fill in it, taking into consideration the particular elements that characterise the smart statistics.
