Controllers shall conduct and document a data protection impact assessment of each
of the following processing activities involving personal data:
(a) The processing of personal data for the purposes of targeted advertising;
(b) The processing of personal data for the purposes of selling of personal data;
(c) The processing of personal data for the purposes of profiling, where the
profiling presents a reasonably foreseeable risk of:
1.
Unfair or deceptive treatment of consumers or unlawful, disparate
impact on consumers;
2.
Financial, physical, or reputational injury to consumers;
3.
A physical or other intrusion upon the solitude or seclusion, or the
private affairs or concerns, of consumers, where an intrusion would be
offensive to a reasonable person; or
4.
Other substantial injury to consumers;
(d) The processing of sensitive data; and
(e) Any processing of personal data that presents a heightened risk of harm to
consumers.
Data protection impact assessments conducted under this section shall identify and
weigh the benefits that may flow, directly and indirectly, from the processing to the
controller, the consumer, other stakeholders, and the public against the potential
risks to the rights of the consumer associated with such processing, as mitigated by
safeguards that can be employed by the controller to reduce such risk. The use of
de-identified data and the reasonable expectations of consumers, as well as the
context of the processing of personal data and the relationship between the
controller and the consumer whose personal data will be processed, shall be
factored into this assessment by the controller.
The Attorney General may request, pursuant to an investigative demand, that a
controller disclose any data protection impact assessment that is relevant to an
investigation conducted by the Attorney General, and the controller shall make the
data protection impact assessment available to the Attorney General. The Attorney
General may evaluate the data protection impact assessments for compliance with
the requirements of KRS 367.3611 to 367.3629.
Data protection impact assessments are confidential and exempt from disclosure,
public inspection, and copying under KRS 61.870 to 61.884.
The disclosure of a data protection impact assessment pursuant to a request from
the Attorney General under subsection (3) of this section does not constitute a
waiver of the attorney-client privilege or work product protection with respect to
the assessment and any information contained in the assessment.
A single data protection assessment may address a comparable set of processing
operations that include similar activities.
Data protection assessments conducted by a controller for the purpose of
(8)
compliance with other laws or regulations may comply under this section if the
assessments have a reasonably comparable scope and effect.
Data protection assessment requirements shall apply to processing activities created
or generated on or after June 1, 2026.
