Logging Events in ALIAS with Sensors

In order to log processing events as defined by the GDPR through ALIAS, developers will need to add code to their system which we call a Sensor (see “How ALIAS Approaches Tracking Personal Data”). The Sensor will cause calls to the Events API to be invoked to generate instances of relevant Event Types. The implementation of Sensors will be system dependent and the points within a given information system where Sensors must be implemented must be identified by the IT team.

The EventTypes that will be logged are determined when processing records are entered (see “Registering Processing Records”).

Sending Events

DEVs (or an app) inform Alias when an event takes place.
