Balancing test
Privaon’s data protection specialists provide tailored support to help data controllers prepare a balancing test aligned with their specific context
The balancing test regarding legitimate interest is drawn up when a data controller or third party relies on this legal basis for processing personal data. Specifically, the test serves as a written assessment that examines the existence and necessity of the controller’s legitimate interest. Moreover, it evaluates how this interest aligns with, and potentially impacts, the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. In practice, the balancing test must be conducted in such a way that, if necessary, the organisation can demonstrate that the legitimate interest pursued does not override the rights of the individuals concerned.
