Privacy impact assessments (PIAs) help Dalhousie University measure and mitigate privacy risks on new or changing tools and technologies. The assessment is a series of questions focused on the treatment and protection of personal information. Questions might include: How is the information collected, used, and stored? By whom and for what purpose?  Where is the information stored? How long is it retained? An assessment ensures that data is handled responsibly and in compliance with Dalhousie’s privacy policies. 

Learn more about PIAs on the Dal Libraries blog, including who conducts them, what happens after, and where to reach out with any questions.
