Balancing test

Assessment weighing the controller's interest against the rights of individuals.

Definition

The balancing test is the structured assessment required when processing is based on legitimate interest: it compares the benefits for the controller against the impact on individuals and their reasonable expectations.

Context & regulatory framework

It must be documented in the record of processing activities and presented to the French supervisory authority (CNIL) in the event of an inspection. A flawed balancing test invalidates the legal basis.
