• {{industry}}: The industry in which the project operates (e.g., healthcare, finance).
• {{data_types}}: The types of personal data involved (e.g., names, health records, financial info).

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
2. Provide a step-by-step guide to conducting a privacy impact assessment, including identifying data flows, assessing risks, and determining mitigations.
3. Create a checklist of potential privacy risks relevant to the industry and data types.
4. Recommend documentation to accompany the assessment for compliance purposes.
5. Suggest how to ensure consistency across different projects.

• Do not assume specific data flows; ask for clarification if needed.
• Keep the focus on privacy risks, not on broader project management.

Example

• {{project_description}}: Launching a new customer loyalty app; {{industry}}: Retail; {{data_types}}: Email addresses, purchase history.
