2. What are the stated purposes?
3. Did you undertake an assessment with regards to privacy and necessity/proportionality?
4. Is your processing based solely upon consent?
5. Where data processing is undertaken by a third party supplier confirm:
i. Did you undertake an assessment of the security risks?
ii. Is the data stored in house or via a cloud provider?
iii. What arrangements are in place to remove data if consent is withdrawn?
iv. Confirm, if any, how many complaints in relation to data subject information rights have been received?
