Stage

Implementation date
June 2021 SEC Release
Latest update
The Modification was implemented on 24 June 2021 as part of the June 2021 SEC Release.
What is the issue?
A Random Sample Privacy Assessment is an assessment carried out by an Independent Privacy Auditor (IPA) to identify the extent to which an Other User is compliant with each of its obligations. Any costs which are incurred in the completion of Random Sample Privacy Assessments are then socialised across all Users. Because of this, it results in the industry as a whole paying for assessments which only Other Users undertake.
What is the solution?
The Proposed Solution is to amend SEC Section I 'Data Privacy' to remove references to Random Sample Privacy Assessments being treated as having 'recoverable costs' as its payment method.
