What is LIA?

LIA stands for Legitimate Interests Assessment. It specifies the reason an organization wants to process a customer's personal data. The organization must also conduct an LIA to show that the processing is necessary.
An LIA is split into three steps:
  • The assessment of whether a legitimate interest exists.
  • The establishment of the necessity for processing.
  • The performance of the balancing test.
