This paper selects the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand as the research objects, and conducts a systematic review of their privacy impact assessment policies in opening government data by using literature analysis. The privacy impact assessment in foreign opening government data originated from the dual needs of the government and the public for the protection of personal privacy. It aims at the effective protection of personal privacy and the prevention and resolution of privacy security risks, and is mainly applicable to the specific fields such as procedures, systems, technologies and rules related to personal identifiable information. In operation, it can be divided into three stages: preparation, analysis and implementation. Among them, the preparation stage involves the description of the evaluation project, the selection of the evaluation opportunity, the determination of the execution subject and the definition of the negotiation object. The analysis stage involves the description of information flow, the identification of privacy risks and the formulation of response plans. The implementation stage involves the release of assessment report, the implementation of response plans and the update of assessment results. Based on the basic national conditions and development status, China can learn from foreign policy practices to formulate privacy impact assessment guidelines,
set up privacy impact assessment institutions, build a multi-subject participation mechanism, and improve the privacy risk management system.
