A privacy information management system (PIMS) enables you to meet the highest standards of transparency and responsibility when processing personal information. Privacy information management systems, sometimes referred to as personal information management systems, cover the methods an organization has for collecting, processing, storing, and destroying personally identifiable information (PII. PII is considered any data that can be used to specifically identify a person; it can include an individual’s name, address, birthday, phone number, email address, IP address, etc.
PIMSs have a number of benefits:
Provide new controller- and processor-specific controls
Establish a point of convergence between what could be two different functions
Help organizations overcome the challenges of privacy and security
