Documented Assessment (DPIA or Written Record) for Data Behind Digital Barriers
Is this legally binding?
Guidance. Voluntary guidance. Best practice, not obligation, until a contract or a regulator cites it.
TIGHTENED IN FINAL: to rely on the publicly available exception for personal data behind a digital barrier, organisations must document their assessment and reasoning in a Data Protection Impact Assessment or other written record, producible to PDPC on request, replacing the draft's notify-the-source best practice.
