The Legitimate Interest Impact Assessment (LIIA) is a mandatory compliance document for organizations operating in Belgium that wish to rely on legitimate interests as their legal basis for processing personal data. This document is required when organizations cannot rely on other legal bases such as consent or contractual necessity, and must demonstrate their processing is both necessary and balanced against individual rights. The LIIA must comply with both Belgian data protection law (Law of 30 July 2018) and the GDPR, requiring organizations to thoroughly document their assessment process, including necessity tests, balancing tests, and risk mitigation measures. It serves as evidence of compliance for regulatory authorities and helps organizations make informed decisions about data processing activities.
