DPN Legitimate Interests Guidance and LIA Template (v 3.0)

Published in November 2024 this third version of our established Legitimate Interests Guidance aims to help organisations assess whether they can rely on legitimate interests for a range of processing activities. Routine or more complex activities, such as those involving the use of AI. First published in 2017, this updated version includes an improved LIA template (in Excel) to use when conducting your own Legitimate Interests Assessments.

Many thanks to PrivacyX Consulting and Privacy Partnership Law for working with us on this latest version. We’d also like to thank the original Legitimate Interests Working Group of 2017/2018, comprising representatives from a wide range of companies and institutions, who collaborated to produce previous versions.
