# Respond to a privacy screening assessment

As an entity owner or a processing activity key stakeholder, respond to the privacy assessment that is initiated by the privacy lead.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_privacy.assessment\_responder, sn\_privacy.business\_user

## About this task

While responding to an assessment, you can reassign the assessment to another user even if you have started the assessment. When you reassign the partially completed privacy assessment to another user, the data that is already provided also gets copied over and is available when the new assignee takes the assessment. This data can be modified by the new assignee.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Self Service** > **Employee Center** > **My active items** > **GRC tasks** > **My to-dos**.

2.  Open the assessment assigned to you.

3.  Perform one of the following actions.
