I humbly request your care quality commission dpia, in pdf if available please. Our response: Thank you for your recent request, whilst our aim is to provide information whenever possible, under section 20 of the Freedom of Information Act 2015 (the ‘Act’), we are not required to provide information in response to a request if it is already reasonably accessible to you, whether free of charge or on payment of a fee. The Care Quality Commission Data Protection Impact Assessment (‘CQC DPIA’) is available on our website here as a downloadable PDF document [Feb 2022 v3.1, Size 8MB] Isle of Man Department of Health and Social Care – Health and Social Care Privacy Notice: https://www.gov.im/about-the-government/departments/health-and-social- care/health-and-social-care-privacy-notice/ Please note, the PDF does contain minimal redactions to protect security requirements. To provide advice and assistance, a DPIA is a method by which the Department can objectively, systematically and comprehensively assess the proposed processing of personal data and identify, and minimise, the risks to an individual when developing a new, or updating an existing, system. The fundamental aim is to weigh the need for, and the potential benefit of, the processing against the impact on individuals. The Department will continue to publish all DPIA’s once ratified, not only to aid transparency and openness, but to demonstrate our commitment to ensuring lawful processing and protecting the fundamental right to privacy enshrined in legislation. If you should have any difficulty in accessing the online PDF, please do contact me direct to provide further advice and assistance.
