Privacy Impact Assessments as a Means to Achieve the Objectives of Procedural Justice

Since the participation of stakeholders in privacy impact assessments (PIAs) is considered insufficient, the theory of procedural justice can inspire the strengthening the public voice in the governance of privacy. However, the relationship between PIAs and procedural justice is more complex. This paper attempts to demonstrate the way in which PIAs serve the idea of procedural justice as well as what PIAs can learn from procedural justice. In conclusion it is argued that PIAs living up to the procedural justice standards are a good means to achieve the fairness of the proceedings.
