Your organization or company believes that it can carry out processing based on legitimate interest, but are you certain that you can do so? It is essential to balance your interests with those of the data subjects, respect their fundamental rights and freedoms, and strike the perfect balance between the two interests.
You must demonstrate to the Supervisory Authority that you respect this balance and do not prioritize business issues to the detriment of the fundamental rights and freedoms of your customers or prospects. If you find this process complex and are unsure how to proceed, we are here to help.
To demonstrate to your Supervisory Authority (the CNIL in France) that you have chosen the least intrusive means for the privacy of the data subjects and that the said processing will not surprise them, you must carry out a Legitimate Impact Assessment (LIA). This process should follow a methodology well known to data protection and security professionals.

The circulation of data between European companies and others, often located in the United States or third countries such as China, is essential for the development of European businesses. Although the European Commission adopted an Adequacy Decision with the USA in July 2023, only transfers to Data Privacy Framework (DPF) certified companies are considered legal and can be made without additional guarantees. Any transfer of data to a company that is not DPF certified is treated as a transfer to a third country that does not offer adequate data protection, according to the European Commission.
If your organization or company needs to transfer data to the United States, and the recipient company is not DPF certified, additional steps are necessary. The signing of a significant contract may depend on this transfer.
Your legal department advises that you need to carry out a Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) and sign Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). However, if they have never conducted a TIA, this task may seem time-consuming and complex.
