Assessing New Technology Privacy Impact
Overview
Article 35(1) of the GDPR explicitly references new technologies as a factor increasing the likelihood of high risk to data subjects' rights and freedoms. The EDPB in WP248rev.01 identifies innovative use of technology as one of nine criteria triggering a DPIA. This skill provides a structured PIA methodology for emerging technologies where the privacy implications are not yet fully understood, including Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), quantum computing, digital twins, brain-computer interfaces, and ambient computing.
Technology-Specific Privacy Risk Profiles
Internet of Things (IoT)
| Risk Area | Description | Privacy Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Pervasive data collection | IoT devices continuously collect environmental and behavioural data, often without visible indicators | Data subjects may be unaware of the scope of data collection; transparency obligations under Art. 13-14 are difficult to fulfil on devices without screens |
| Data minimisation challenges | Sensors often collect more data than needed for the immediate purpose to enable future analytics | Violation of Art. 5(1)(c) data minimisation; purpose creep through accumulated data |
| Device-to-device communication | IoT ecosystems share data between devices without user awareness | Unexpected recipients; difficulty identifying all processors and sub-processors |
| Insecure by default | Many IoT devices ship with default credentials, unencrypted communications, and no update mechanism | Art. 25 data protection by design and Art. 32 security of processing obligations not met |
| Location and behavioural tracking | Connected devices reveal location patterns, daily routines, and behavioural habits | Systematic monitoring (WP248 C3); profiling risk (WP248 C1) |
| Cross-device correlation | Data from multiple IoT devices can be combined to create comprehensive behavioural profiles | Matching or combining datasets (WP248 C6); disproportionate surveillance |
EDPB Guidelines 02/2023 on IoT and Wearable Devices: Emphasized that IoT devices must implement data protection by design, provide clear privacy notices (adapted to device constraints), and enable genuine consent mechanisms.
Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology
| Risk Area | Description | Privacy Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Immutability vs right to erasure | Blockchain's append-only nature conflicts with Art. 17 right to erasure | Technical inability to delete personal data recorded on-chain |
| Transparency of transactions | Public blockchains expose transaction data to all participants | Personal data potentially accessible to unlimited recipients |
| Pseudonymity not anonymity | Blockchain addresses are pseudonymous but can be linked to real identities through transaction analysis | Re-identification risk; Art. 4(5) pseudonymisation does not equal anonymisation |
| Controller identification | Decentralised governance makes it difficult to identify the data controller | Art. 26 joint controller arrangements may be needed; accountability unclear |
| Cross-border by design | Distributed ledger nodes are typically located across multiple jurisdictions | Chapter V international transfer obligations triggered |
| Smart contract automation | Smart contracts execute automatically without human intervention | Art. 22 automated decision-making implications when smart contracts affect individuals |
CNIL Blockchain Guidance (2018): Recommended storing personal data off-chain with only hashes on-chain; using commitment schemes; designating participants who decide to use blockchain as controllers.
Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR)
| Risk Area | Description | Privacy Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Biometric data collection | Eye tracking, facial expressions, body movements, voice patterns | Art. 9 special category data (biometric data for identification); Art. 35(3)(b) trigger |
| Spatial mapping | AR/VR devices scan and map physical environments including private spaces | Collection of data about third parties present in the environment without their consent |
| Behavioural profiling | Gaze tracking reveals interests, attention patterns, and cognitive state | Highly personal data; evaluation and scoring (WP248 C1) |
| Immersive manipulation | VR environments can influence behaviour through environmental design | Art. 5(1)(a) fairness; potential for subliminal manipulation |
| Persistent identity | Avatar and behavioural biometrics create persistent identifiable profiles | Long-term tracking across virtual environments |
| Child safety | Minors using VR platforms face enhanced risks | Vulnerable data subjects (WP248 C7); Art. 8 child consent requirements |
Quantum Computing
| Risk Area | Description | Privacy Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Cryptographic vulnerability | Quantum computers may break current encryption standards (RSA, ECC) | Art. 32 security measures based on current encryption become insufficient |
| Retroactive decryption | Encrypted data harvested today can be decrypted when quantum computers mature (harvest now, decrypt later) | Data currently protected may become exposed; long-term confidentiality compromised |
| Enhanced data analytics | Quantum machine learning can process data at scales impossible for classical computers | New forms of profiling and inference; privacy-preserving techniques may be defeated |
| Post-quantum migration | Transitioning to quantum-resistant cryptography requires significant infrastructure changes | Interim vulnerability period during migration |
ENISA Post-Quantum Cryptography Report (2024): Recommended organisations begin quantum risk assessment and plan migration to NIST-standardised post-quantum algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA).
Digital Twins
| Risk Area | Description | Privacy Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Comprehensive data aggregation | Digital twins aggregate data from multiple sources to create a virtual replica | Matching or combining datasets (WP248 C6); comprehensive profiling |
| Predictive modelling of individuals | Digital twins of patients or employees predict future states and behaviours | Evaluation and scoring (WP248 C1); Art. 22 implications for predictions affecting individuals |
| Continuous synchronisation | Real-time data feeds maintain the digital twin's accuracy | Systematic monitoring (WP248 C3); proportionality concerns |
| Blurred anonymisation boundary | Even without direct identifiers, a sufficiently detailed digital twin may be re-identifiable | Pseudonymisation vs anonymisation assessment required |
PIA Methodology for Emerging Technologies
Phase 1: Technology Understanding (Week 1)
- Document the technology's data processing characteristics:
- What data is collected (categories, volume, frequency)
- How data flows through the technology stack
- Where data is stored and processed (geographic locations)
- Who has access to data at each stage
- How long data is retained
- What security measures protect data at each stage
- Identify the technology's novel risk characteristics that distinguish it from established technologies.
- Map the technology against the EDPB WP248rev.01 nine criteria.
- Consult published regulatory guidance specific to the technology (EDPB, CNIL, ICO, ENISA).
Phase 2: Stakeholder Impact Mapping (Week 2)
- Identify all affected data subjects:
- Direct users of the technology
- Third parties whose data may be incidentally collected
- Bystanders (particularly relevant for IoT, AR/VR, spatial computing)
- Identify vulnerable data subjects (children, employees, patients, elderly).
- Map potential impacts on each stakeholder group:
- Privacy impacts (loss of control, unexpected processing)
- Autonomy impacts (manipulation, reduced choice)
- Equality impacts (discriminatory outcomes, digital exclusion)
- Safety impacts (physical harm from decisions based on technology)
- Document data subject expectations versus actual processing.
Phase 3: Proportionality Assessment (Week 3)
For each data processing element of the technology:
| Assessment Question | Analysis Required |
|---|---|
| Is this processing necessary for the stated purpose? | Document why the technology cannot achieve its purpose without this data |
| Could the purpose be achieved with less data? | Evaluate data minimisation alternatives (aggregation, sampling, synthetic data) |
| Could the purpose be achieved with less identifying data? | Evaluate anonymisation, pseudonymisation, and differential privacy options |
| Could the purpose be achieved with a less invasive technology? | Compare the proposed technology against established alternatives |
| Are the benefits proportionate to the privacy intrusion? | Balancing test: public interest vs individual privacy impact |
| Have data subjects been consulted on the acceptability of the intrusion? | Art. 35(9) data subject views; user acceptance research |
Phase 4: Risk Assessment and Mitigation (Week 4-5)
- For each identified risk, assess likelihood and severity using the standard DPIA risk matrix.
- Identify technology-specific mitigation measures:
- Privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs): differential privacy, homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation, federated learning
- Data protection by design: privacy-preserving defaults, granular consent, purpose-bound processing
- Transparency mechanisms adapted to technology constraints (audio notices for screenless IoT, visual indicators for AR/VR)
- Assess residual risk after mitigation.
- If residual risk remains high, consider whether the technology should be deployed at all, not just how to mitigate risks.
Phase 5: Ongoing Monitoring Framework (Week 5-6)
- Define monitoring metrics specific to the technology:
- Data collection volumes (detect scope creep)
- Access patterns (detect unauthorised use)
- Accuracy and reliability of technology outputs
- User complaints and feedback
- Establish review triggers:
- Technology update or version change
- New use case or feature added
- Security vulnerability discovered
- Regulatory guidance issued for the technology
- Peer data breach involving similar technology
- Define a sunset plan: how will personal data be handled if the technology is decommissioned?
Privacy-by-Design Requirements for Emerging Technologies
| Principle | Implementation for Emerging Tech |
|---|---|
| Proactive not reactive | Conduct PIA before technology deployment, not after incidents |
| Privacy as default | Technology must ship with privacy-protective defaults; opt-in for additional data collection |
| Privacy embedded in design | Privacy requirements must be part of the technology specification, not bolt-on |
| Full functionality | Privacy protections should not degrade the technology's core functionality |
| End-to-end security | Data protection from collection through deletion, including inter-device communication |
| Visibility and transparency | Clear indicators when technology is collecting data; accessible privacy notices |
| Respect for user privacy | User-centric design; genuine choice and control over personal data |
