This template will follows the DPIA process set out in ICO DPIA guidance.
GBS commits to completing this DPIA so that it contains sufficient detail to understand what and how the personal data is being processed and by whom. It will allow a reader, such as the Regulator to understand how the personal data flows, its purpose, the consideration of risk and the measures and record that will be put in place to any upgrades. You may find it helpful to provide an Appendix of other documents to support this DPIA.

Step 1: Identify the need for a DPIA
|
a) Use of GlobalU (E-learning Platform cum LMS): GlobalU is an e-learning platform cum Learning Management System (LMS) designed to facilitate online education and training. Its primary objectives are to:
- Enable educational institutions and organizations to deliver courses and training programs online. - Enhance accessibility to education and training materials, allowing learners to access content from anywhere. - Provide a centralized platform for course administration, content creation, enrollment, progress tracking, and assessments. - Support educators and administrators in managing and monitoring learners' performance. - Offer a user-friendly interface that promotes engaging and effective learning experiences.
The type of processing involved in GlobalU includes the collection, storage, and processing of various types of data, such as user profiles, course content, progress records, assessment results, and communication logs. This processing encompasses user registration, content creation and management, data analytics, and communication features, all with the goal of delivering high-quality online education and training.
b) Need for a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA): A DPIA is necessary for GlobalU due to several reasons:
- Data Sensitivity: GlobalU processes sensitive personal data, including student and instructor information, which can pose privacy risks if mishandled or exposed.
- Complex Data Flows: The platform involves multiple data flows, including user registration, course enrollment, data analytics, and communication. Understanding these flows and assessing their impact on data protection is crucial.
- Regulatory Compliance: To ensure compliance with data protection regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a DPIA helps identify and mitigate potential legal risks and liabilities associated with data processing.
- Mitigating Risks: A DPIA assists in identifying and mitigating potential data security and privacy risks, ensuring that adequate safeguards and controls are in place.
- Transparency and Accountability: Conducting a DPIA demonstrates an organization's commitment to data protection, accountability, and transparency to users, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities.
- Continuous Improvement: A DPIA provides a framework for ongoing monitoring and improvement of data protection measures as the GlobalU platform evolves and grows.

Step 2: Describe the processing
2. 1 Describe the nature of the processing:
How are you collecting, using, storing and deleting data?
What is the source of the data?
Will you be sharing the data with anyone?
What types of processing identified as likely to be high risk are involved?
Describe how updates/changes are made and recorded
Please consider developing flow diagrams or other ways of describing the data flows. This should include flows of personal data from and to other systems
