What is the justification for the inclusion of identifiable data rather than using de-
identified/anonymised data?
Will the information be new information as opposed to using existing information in different
ways?
What is the legal basis for the processing of identifiable data? E.g. Conditions under the Data
Protection Act 2018 EU General Data Protection Regulations, the Section 251 under the NHS Act
2006 etc.
If consent, how and when the consent would be recorded and retained.
How have you ensured that the right to data portability can be respected? i.e. Data relating to
particular people can be extracted for transfer to another Data Controller, at the request of the
person to which it relates, subject to:
· Receipt of written instructions from the person to which the data relates.
· Including data used for any automated processing,
- The transfer of the data has been made technically feasible.
What security measures will be used to transfer the data?
What confidentiality and security measures will be used to store the data?
How long will the data be retained in identifiable form? And how will it be de-identified? Or
destroyed?
What governance measures are in place to oversee the confidentiality, security and appropriate
use of the data and manage disclosures of data extracts to third parties to ensure identifiable
data is not disclosed or is only disclosed with consent or another legal basis?
If holding personal i.e. identifiable data, are procedures in place to provide access to records
under the subject access provisions of the DPA?
Are there any plans to allow the information to be used elsewhere within the organisation, wider

The data must be able to be easily separated from other datasets to enable data portability (see
previous questions), audit of data relating to specific organisations and to facilitate any
requirements for service transitions.
