- The controller shall consult the supervisory authority prior to processing where a data protection impact assessment under Article 35 indicates that the processing would result in a high risk in the absence of measures taken by the controller to mitigate the risk.
- 1Where the supervisory authority is of the opinion that the intended processing referred to in paragraph 1 would infringe this Regulation, in particular where the controller has insufficiently identified or mitigated the risk, the supervisory authority shall, within period of up to eight weeks of receipt of the request for consultation, provide written advice to the controller and, where applicable to the processor, and may use any of its powers referred to in Article 58. 2That period may be extended by six weeks, taking into account the complexity of the intended processing. 3The supervisory authority shall inform the controller and, where applicable, the processor, of any such extension within one month of receipt of the request for consultation together with the reasons for the delay. 4Those periods may be suspended until the supervisory authority has obtained information it has requested for the purposes of the consultation.

- the measures and safeguards provided to protect the rights and freedoms of data subjects pursuant to this Regulation;
- where applicable, the contact details of the data protection officer;
- the data protection impact assessment provided for in Article 35; and
- any other information requested by the supervisory authority.
