NEW QUESTION # 144
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Building Block Inc. is a multinational company, headquartered in Chicago with offices throughout the United States, Asia, and Europe (including Germany, Italy, France and Portugal). Last year the company was the victim of a phishing attack that resulted in a significant data breach. The executive board, in coordination with the general manager, their Privacy Office and the Information Security team, resolved to adopt additional security measures. These included training awareness programs, a cybersecurity audit, and use of a new software tool called SecurityScan, which scans employees' computers to see if they have software that is no longer being supported by a vendor and therefore not getting security updates. However, this software also provides other features, including the monitoring of employees' computers.
Since these measures would potentially impact employees, Building Block's Privacy Office decided to issue a general notice to all employees indicating that the company will implement a series of initiatives to enhance information security and prevent future data breaches.
After the implementation of these measures, server performance decreased. The general manager instructed the Security team on how to use SecurityScan to monitor employees' computers activity and their location. During these activities, the Information Security team discovered that one employee from Italy was daily connecting to a video library of movies, and another one from Germany worked remotely without authorization. The Security team reported these incidents to the Privacy Office and the general manager. In their report, the team concluded that the employee from Italy was the reason why the server performance decreased.
Due to the seriousness of these infringements, the company decided to apply disciplinary measures to both employees, since the security and privacy policy of the company prohibited employees from installing software on the company's computers, and from working remotely without authorization.
In addition to notifying employees about the purpose of the monitoring, the potential uses of their data and their privacy rights, what information should Building Block have provided them before implementing the security measures?
- A. Information about who employees should contact with any queries.
- B. Information about how providing consent could affect them as employees.
- C. Information about what is specified in the employment contract.
- D. Information about how the measures are in the best interests of the company.
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 145
As per the GDPR, which legal basis would be the most appropriate for an online shop that wishes to process personal data for the purpose of fraud prevention?
- A. Consent
- B. Protection of the interests of the data subjects.
- C. Performance of a contact
- D. Legitimate interest
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to the GDPR, legitimate interest is one of the possible legal bases for processing personal data, which means that the data controller has a valid reason to process the data that is not overridden by the interests or rights of the data subject1. The GDPR specifically mentions fraud prevention as a potential legitimate interest of the data controller, as it serves both the interests of the online shop and the data subjects who may be victims of fraud1. However, the data controller must conduct a balancing test to ensure that the legitimate interest is not outweighed by the potential harm or intrusion to the data subject's privacy1. The data controller must also provide clear and transparent information to the data subject about the processing of their data for fraud prevention purposes, and respect their right to object to such processing1.
The other options are incorrect because:
* A. Protection of the interests of the data subjects is not a legal basis for processing personal data, but rather a condition for processing special categories of personal data under Article 9 of the GDPR2.
Moreover, fraud prevention does not necessarily protect the interests of the data subjects, but rather the interests of the online shop and the general public.
* B. Performance of a contract is a legal basis for processing personal data that is necessary for the execution or fulfilment of a contract between the data controller and the data subject2. However, fraud prevention is not strictly necessary for the performance of a contract, as it is not directly related to the delivery of goods or services that the data subject has purchased from the online shop.
* D. Consent is a legal basis for processing personal data that requires the data subject to give their informed, specific, and freely given agreement to the processing of their data for one or more purposes2. However, consent is not the most appropriate legal basis for fraud prevention, as it may not be freely given by the data subject, who may feel pressured to agree to the processing of their data in order to complete their purchase. Moreover, consent may not be reliable or effective for fraud prevention, as it can be withdrawn by the data subject at any time, or may be given by a fraudster who is not the legitimate owner of the data.

NEW QUESTION # 146
What is the MAIN reason GDPR Article 4(22) establishes the concept of the "concerned supervisory authority"?
- A. To give corporations a choice about who their supervisory authority will be.
- B. To encourage the consistency of local data processing activity.
- C. To ensure the GDPR covers controllers that do not have an establishment in the EU but have a representative in a member state.
- D. To ensure that the interests of individuals residing outside the lead authority's jurisdiction are represented.
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to GDPR Article 4(22), a supervisory authority is concerned by the processing of personal data if the data subjects residing in its member state are substantially affected or likely to be substantially affected by the processing, or if a complaint has been lodged with it. This concept is mainly introduced to ensure that the rights and interests of data subjects are protected by the supervisory authorities that are closest to them, regardless of where the controller or processor is established or where the lead supervisory authority is located. The concerned supervisory authorities have the right to participate in the one-stop-shop and consistency mechanisms, and to express their views and objections on the draft decisions of the lead supervisory authority. They also have the duty to cooperate and assist each other in the performance of their tasks. Reference: GDPR Article 4(22), GDPR Article 60, GDPR Article 63, The role of the 'supervisory authority concerned' (Chapter 3.1 ...
NEW QUESTION # 147
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Due to rapidly expanding workforce, Company A has decided to outsource its payroll function to Company B. Company B is an established payroll service provider with a sizable client base and a solid reputation in the industry.
Company B's payroll solution for Company A relies on the collection of time and attendance data obtained via a biometric entry system installed in each of Company A's factories. Company B won't hold any biometric data itself, but the related data will be uploaded to Company B's UK servers and used to provide the payroll service. Company B's live systems will contain the following information for each of Company A's employees:
Name
Address
Date of Birth
Payroll number
National Insurance number
Sick pay entitlement
Maternity/paternity pay entitlement
Holiday entitlement
Pension and benefits contributions
Trade union contributions
Jenny is the compliance officer at Company A.
She first considers whether Company A needs to carry out a data protection impact assessment in relation to the new time and attendance system, but isn't sure whether or not this is required.
Jenny does know, however, that under the GDPR there must be a formal written agreement requiring Company B to use the time and attendance data only for the purpose of providing the payroll service, and to apply appropriate technical and organizational security measures for safeguarding the data. Jenny suggests that Company B obtain advice from its data protection officer. The company doesn't have a DPO but agrees, in the interest of finalizing the contract, to sign up for the provisions in full. Company A enters into the contract.
Weeks later, while still under contract with Company A, Company B embarks upon a separate project meant to enhance the functionality of its payroll service, and engages Company C to help. Company C agrees to extract all personal data from Company B's live systems in order to create a new database for Company B.
This database will be stored in a test environment hosted on Company C's U.S. server. The two companies agree not to include any data processing provisions in their services agreement, as data is only being used for IT testing purposes.
Unfortunately, Company C's U.S. server is only protected by an outdated IT security system, and suffers a cyber security incident soon after Company C begins work on the project. As a result, data relating to Company A's employees is visible to anyone visiting Company C's website. Company A is unaware of this until Jenny receives a letter from the supervisory authority in connection with the investigation that ensues. As soon as Jenny is made aware of the breach, she notifies all affected employees.
The GDPR requires sufficient guarantees of a company's ability to implement adequate technical and organizational measures. What would be the most realistic way that Company B could have fulfilled this requirement?
- A. Vetting companies' measures with the appropriate supervisory authority.
- B. Requesting advice and technical support from Company A's IT team.
- C. Hiring companies whose measures are consistent with recommendations of accrediting bodies.
- D. Avoiding the use of another company's data to improve their own services.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Article 82 of the GDPR1234 regulates the right to compensation and liability for any person who has suffered material or non-material damage as a result of an infringement of the GDPR.
Paragraph 4 of Article 821234 states that a controller or processor shall be exempt from liability under paragraph 2 (which holds them liable for the damage caused by processing which infringes the GDPR) if it proves that it is not in any way responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
Therefore, the right to compensation and liability under the GDPR provides for an exemption from liability if the data controller (or data processor) proves that it is not in any way responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

NEW QUESTION # 148
With the issue of consent, the GDPR allows member states some choice regarding what?
- A. The circumstances in which silence or inactivity may constitute consent
- B. The timeframe in which data subjects are allowed to withdraw their consent
- C. The mechanisms through which consent may be communicated
- D. The age at which children must be required to obtain parental consent
Answer: D
Explanation:
The GDPR states that the parental consent mechanism generally applies when the child is younger than 16 years1. Processing personal data will be lawful only if the child's parent or custodian has consented to such processing2. However, Member States are allowed to lower this threshold in national legislation up to 13 years old3. This means that Member States have some choice regarding the age limit for children's consent, as long as it is not below 13 years. The GDPR also requires that the consent request is clear and understandable for the child, and that the controller makes reasonable efforts to verify that the consent is given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility4.

NEW QUESTION # 149
To receive a preliminary interpretation on provisions of the GDPR, a national court will refer its case to which of the following?
- A. The Court of Justice of the European Union.
- B. The European Data Protection Board.
- C. The European Data Protection Supervisor.
- D. The European Court of Human Rights.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Reference:
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is the judicial body of the EU that makes decisions on issues of EU law and enforces European decisions either in respect to actions taken by the European Commission against a member state or actions taken by individuals to enforce their rights under EU law. The CJEU consists of two courts: the Court of Justice and the General Court. The CJEU ensures the uniform interpretation and application of EU law across the EU and settles disputes between EU institutions, member states, and individuals.
According to the EU Treaties, EU Member-States' courts may - or, in case no appeal from their decisions is possible, must - ask the CJEU to rule on the interpretation and validity of disputed provisions of EU law. Such decisions are known as preliminary rulings, by which the CJEU expresses its ultimate authority to interpret EU law and which are binding for all national courts in the EU when they apply those specific provisions in individual cases. Since May 2018 - when the GDPR became applicable across the EU -, the CJEU has played an important role in clarifying the meaning and scope of some of its key concepts. For instance, the Court notably ruled that two parties as different as a website owner that has embedded a Facebook plugin and Facebook may be qualified as joint controllers by taking converging decisions ( Fashion ID case ), that consent for online data processing is not validly expressed through pre-ticked boxes ( Planet49 case) and that the European Commission Decision to grant adequacy to the EU-US Privacy Shield framework is invalid as a mechanism for international data transfers, and supplemental measures may be necessary to lawfully transfer data outside of the EU on the basis of Commission-vetted model clauses (in the Schrems II case ).
Therefore, to receive a preliminary interpretation on provisions of the GDPR, a national court will refer its case to the Court of Justice of the European Union, which is the ultimate authority on EU law and the GDPR.

NEW QUESTION # 150
The EDPB's Guidelines 8/2020 on the targeting of social media users stipulates that in order to rely on legitimate interest as a legal basis to process personal data, three tests must be passed. Which of the following is NOT one of the three tests?
- A. Purpose test.
- B. Adequacy test.
- C. Necessity test.
- D. Balancing test.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The EDPB's Guidelines 8/2020 on the targeting of social media users explain that the legitimate interest legal basis requires passing three cumulative tests: the purpose test, the necessity test, and the balancing test. The purpose test checks whether there is a legitimate interest pursued by the data controller or a third party. The necessity test checks whether the processing is necessary for the purpose identified. The balancing test checks whether the legitimate interest is not overridden by the interests or rights and freedoms of the data subject. The adequacy test is not one of the three tests required by the legitimate interest legal basis. The adequacy test is relevant for data transfers to third countries, not for data processing within the EU.

NEW QUESTION # 151
With respect to international transfers of personal data, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) confirmed that derogations may be relied upon under what condition?
- A. Only if the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) shows low risk.
- B. When it has been determined that adequate protection can be performed.
- C. If the data controller has received preapproval from a Data Protection Authority (DPA), after submitting the appropriate documents.
- D. Only as a last resort and when interpreted restrictively.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The GDPR allows for derogations for specific situations when a transfer of personal data to a third country or an international organization cannot be based on an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards, or binding corporate rules1. However, these derogations are exceptions to the general rule and should not become the norm. The EDPB confirmed that derogations should only be used as a last resort and when interpreted restrictively, taking into account the nature of the data, the purpose and duration of the processing, the country of origin and destination, and the rights and freedoms of data subjects23. The EDPB also stressed that the data exporter must assess the level of protection in the third country and ensure that the transfer does not undermine the essence of the fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects23.

NEW QUESTION # 152
Which judicial body makes decisions on actions taken by individuals wishing to enforce their rights under EU law?
- A. Court of Justice of European Union
- B. European Data Protection Board
- C. Court of Auditors
- D. European Court of Human Rights
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is the judicial body of the EU that makes decisions on issues of EU law and enforces European decisions either in respect to actions taken by the European Commission against a member state or actions taken by individuals to enforce their rights under EU law. The CJEU consists of two courts: the Court of Justice and the General Court. The CJEU ensures the uniform interpretation and application of EU law across the EU and settles disputes between EU institutions, member states, and individuals.
The other options are not correct, as they are not the judicial bodies that make decisions on actions taken by individuals wishing to enforce their rights under EU law. The Court of Auditors is the EU's independent external auditor that checks the legality and regularity of the EU's revenue and expenditure, and the soundness of its financial management. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is an international court that oversees the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of 1950. The ECHR is not linked to the EU institutions, and it covers human rights laws across Europe, including in many non-EU countries. The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) is an independent body that ensures the consistent application of the GDPR and issues opinions on various aspects of data protection, but it does not have judicial authority.

NEW QUESTION # 154
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Joe is the new privacy manager for Who-R-U, a Canadian business that provides DNA analysis. The company is headquartered in Montreal, and all of its employees are located there. The company offers its services to Canadians only: Its website is in English and French, it accepts only Canadian currency, and it blocks internet traffic from outside of Canada (although this solution doesn't prevent all non-Canadian traffic). It also declines to process orders that request the DNA report to be sent outside of Canada, and returns orders that show a non-Canadian return address.
Bob, the President of Who-R-U, thinks there is a lot of interest for the product in the EU, and the company is exploring a number of plans to expand its customer base.
The first plan, collegially called We-Track-U, will use an app to collect information about its current Canadian customer base. The expansion will allow its Canadian customers to use the app while traveling abroad. He suggests that the company use this app to gather location information. If the plan shows promise, Bob proposes to use push notifications and text messages to encourage existing customers to pre-register for an EU version of the service. Bob calls this work plan, We-Text-U. Once the company has gathered enough pre- registrations, it will develop EU-specific content and services.
Another plan is called Customer for Life. The idea is to offer additional services through the company's app, like storage and sharing of DNA information with other applications and medical providers. The company's contract says that it can keep customer DNA indefinitely, and use it to offer new services and market them to customers. It also says that customers agree not to withdraw direct marketing consent. Paul, the marketing director, suggests that the company should fully exploit these provisions, and that it can work around customers' attempts to withdraw consent because the contract invalidates them.
The final plan is to develop a brand presence in the EU. The company has already begun this process. It is in the process of purchasing the naming rights for a building in Germany, which would come with a few offices that Who-R-U executives can use while traveling internationally. The office doesn't include any technology or infrastructure; rather, it's simply a room with a desk and some chairs.
On a recent trip concerning the naming-rights deal, Bob's laptop is stolen. The laptop held unencrypted DNA reports on 5,000 Who-R-U customers, all of whom are residents of Canad a. The reports include customer name, birthdate, ethnicity, racial background, names of relatives, gender, and occasionally health information.
If Who-R-U adopts the We-Track-U pilot plan, why is it likely to be subject to the territorial scope of the GDPR?
- A. It is engaging in commercial activities conducted in the Union.
- B. It would be offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union.
- C. Its plan would be in the context of the establishment of a controller in the Union.
- D. It is monitoring the behavior of data subjects in the Union.
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 155
In which of the following situations would an individual most likely to be able to withdraw her consent for processing?
- A. When she no longer wishes to be sent marketing materials from an organization.
- B. When she disagrees with a diagnosis her doctor has recorded on her records.
- C. When she is leaving her bank and moving to another bank.
- D. When she has recently changed jobs and no longer works for the same company.
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the GDPR, consent is one of the six lawful bases for processing personal data. Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, and the withdrawal of consent must be as easy as giving it. Therefore, an individual can withdraw her consent for processing when she no longer wishes to be sent marketing materials from an organization, as this is a clear indication of her wishes and does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The other situations are not related to consent, but to other lawful bases such as contract, legitimate interest or legal obligation. Reference: Free CIPP/E Study Guide, page 9; CIPP/E Certification, page 3; GDPR, Article 4(11), Article 6(1)(a), Article 7(3).
NEW QUESTION # 156
To provide evidence of GDPR compliance, a company performs an internal audit. As a result, it finds a data base, password-protected, listing all the social network followers of the client.
Regarding the domain of the controller-processor relationships, how is this situation considered?
- A. Compliant with the security principle, because the data base is password-protected.
- B. Not applicable, because the data base is password protected, and therefore is not at risk of identifying any data subject.
- C. Non-compliant, because the storage of the data exceeds the tasks contractually authorized by the controller.
- D. Compliant with the storage limitation principle, so long as the internal auditor permanently deletes the data base.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The GDPR requires that the processor only processes personal data on behalf of the controller and according to the controller's instructions12. The agreement between the controller and the processor must include provisions that ensure that the processor does not process personal data for any other purposes or in a manner that is inconsistent with the controller's instructions34. Therefore, if the processor stores personal data that is not necessary for the performance of the contract with the controller, such as the social network followers of the client, this is a breach of the GDPR and the processor may be fined2. The fact that the data base is password-protected does not affect the applicability of the GDPR or the security principle, as the data is still personal data that can identify data subjects. The storage limitation principle also requires that personal data be kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed, so deleting the data base after the audit does not make the situation compliant.

SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
You have just been hired by a toy manufacturer based in Hong Kong. The company sells a broad range of dolls, action figures and plush toys that can be found internationally in a wide variety of retail stores. Although the manufacturer has no offices outside Hong Kong and in fact does not employ any staff outside Hong Kong, it has entered into a number of local distribution contracts. The toys produced by the company can be found in all popular toy stores throughout Europe, the United States and Asi a. A large portion of the company's revenue is due to international sales.
The company now wishes to launch a new range of connected toys, ones that can talk and interact with children. The CEO of the company is touting these toys as the next big thing, due to the increased possibilities offered: The figures can answer children's Questions: on various subjects, such as mathematical calculations or the weather. Each figure is equipped with a microphone and speaker and can connect to any smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Any mobile device within a 10-meter radius can connect to the toys via Bluetooth as well. The figures can also be associated with other figures (from the same manufacturer) and interact with each other for an enhanced play experience.
When a child asks the toy a question, the request is sent to the cloud for analysis, and the answer is generated on cloud servers and sent back to the figure. The answer is given through the figure's integrated speakers, making it appear as though that the toy is actually responding to the child's question. The packaging of the toy does not provide technical details on how this works, nor does it mention that this feature requires an internet connection. The necessary data processing for this has been outsourced to a data center located in South Africa. However, your company has not yet revised its consumer-facing privacy policy to indicate this.
In parallel, the company is planning to introduce a new range of game systems through which consumers can play the characters they acquire in the course of playing the game. The system will come bundled with a portal that includes a Near-Field Communications (NFC) reader. This device will read an RFID tag in the action figure, making the figure come to life onscreen. Each character has its own stock features and abilities, but it is also possible to earn additional ones by accomplishing game goals. The only information stored in the tag relates to the figures' abilities. It is easy to switch characters during the game, and it is possible to bring the figure to locations outside of the home and have the character's abilities remain intact.
What presents the BIGGEST potential privacy issue with the company's practices?
- A. The information about the data processing involved has not been specified
- B. The NFC portal can read any data stored in the action figures
- C. The cloud service provider is in a country that has not been deemed adequate
- D. The RFID tag in the action figures has the potential for misuse because of the toy's evolving capabilities
Answer: A
Explanation:
While all of the options present potential privacy issues, the lack of transparency about data processing poses the biggest risk for several reasons:
Uninformed Consent: Without clear information about data collection and usage, children and parents cannot make informed decisions about using the toys. This violates the principle of informed consent, which is a cornerstone of data protection laws.
Hidden Features: The packaging and privacy policy do not disclose the hidden functionality of the toys, including the connection to the cloud and data processing in South Africa. This lack of transparency creates distrust and raises concerns about potential misuse of data.
Unclear Data Flow: The explanation provided about the data flow is vague and incomplete. It is unclear what data is collected, how it is stored, for what purposes it is used, and who has access to it. This lack of clarity creates uncertainty and raises concerns about potential data breaches or leaks.
Limited Control: Without detailed information about data practices, users have limited control over their information. They cannot opt out of data collection or request deletion of their data, further hindering their privacy rights.
NEW QUESTION # 158
Once an organization has conducted an internal investigation to determine the scope of a ransomware attack, what is the appropriate next step in the process?
- A. Wait for law enforcement to provide guidance on notification procedures before taking any further action.
- B. Assess the risks associated with the breach and, if necessary, notify affected individuals and regulatory bodies within the relevant timeframes.
- C. Notify law enforcement and consult with legal counsel to understand the implications of the breach and the notification requirements.
- D. Inform all customers and the public via social media platforms to ensure rapid dissemination of relevant information.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) has strict data breach response requirements, particularly for ransomware attacks that affect personal data. The appropriate next step after an internal investigation is to assess the risks associated with the breach and notify affected parties if necessary.
Key GDPR Breach Response Steps (Article 33 & 34):
* Assess the risks to personal data
* If the breach poses a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, the supervisory authority (DPA) must be notified within 72 hours.
* If there is a high risk, affected individuals must also be informed without undue delay.
* Why Answer Choice A is Correct
* Risk assessment is a critical first step after an internal investigation.
* If the breach meets the risk threshold, notification to authorities and individuals is required under GDPR.
* Why Other Answer Choices Are Incorrect:
* B (Notify Law Enforcement First): While law enforcement may be involved, GDPR does not mandate consulting law enforcement before conducting a risk assessment or notifying individuals.
* C (Informing the Public Immediately): Public disclosure via social media is not a GDPR requirement. Affected individuals and DPAs should be formally notified first.
* D (Waiting for Law Enforcement): GDPR does not allow waiting for law enforcement before fulfilling notification obligations. Controllers must act within 72 hours.
Conclusion: The correct next step after an internal investigation is to assess the risks and, if necessary, notify affected individuals and regulatory bodies as required under GDPR Articles 33 and 34.
NEW QUESTION # 159
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Anna and Frank both work at Granchester University. Anna is a lawyer responsible for data protection, while Frank is a lecturer in the engineering department. The University maintains a number of types of records:
* Student records, including names, student numbers, home addresses, pre-university information, university attendance and performance records, details of special educational needs and financial information.
* Staff records, including autobiographical materials (such as curricula, professional contact files, student evaluations and other relevant teaching files).
* Alumni records, including birthplaces, years of birth, dates of matriculation and conferrals of degrees.
These records are available to former students after registering through Granchester's Alumni portal.
* Department for Education records, showing how certain demographic groups (such as first-generation students) could be expected, on average, to progress. These records do not contain names or identification numbers.
* Under their security policy, the University encrypts all of its personal data records in transit and at rest.
In order to improve his teaching, Frank wants to investigate how his engineering students perform in relational to Department for Education expectations. He has attended one of Anna's data protection training courses and knows that he should use no more personal data than necessary to accomplish his goal. He creates a program that will only export some student data: previous schools attended, grades originally obtained, grades currently obtained and first time university attended. He wants to keep the records at the individual student level.
Mindful of Anna's training, Frank runs the student numbers through an algorithm to transform them into different reference numbers. He uses the same algorithm on each occasion so that he can update each record over time.
One of Anna's tasks is to complete the record of processing activities, as required by the GDPR. After receiving her email reminder, as required by the GDPR. After receiving her email reminder, Frank informs Anna about his performance database.
Ann explains to Frank that, as well as minimizing personal data, the University has to check that this new use of existing data is permissible. She also suspects that, under the GDPR, a risk analysis may have to be carried out before the data processing can take place. Anna arranges to discuss this further with Frank after she has done some additional research.
Frank wants to be able to work on his analysis in his spare time, so he transfers it to his home laptop (which is not encrypted). Unfortunately, when Frank takes the laptop into the University he loses it on the train. Frank has to see Anna that day to discuss compatible processing. He knows that he needs to report security incidents, so he decides to tell Anna about his lost laptop at the same time.
Before Anna determines whether Frank's performance database is permissible, what additional information does she need?
- A. More information about Frank's data protection training.
- B. More information about the algorithm Frank used to mask student numbers.
- C. More information about the extent of the information loss.
- D. More information about what students have been told and how the research will be used.

Please use the following to answer the next question:
Joe is the new privacy manager for Who-R-U, a Canadian business that provides DNA analysis. The company is headquartered in Montreal, and all of its employees are located there. The company offers its services to Canadians only: Its website is in English and French, it accepts only Canadian currency, and it blocks internet traffic from outside of Canada (although this solution doesn't prevent all non-Canadian traffic). It also declines to process orders that request the DNA report to be sent outside of Canada, and returns orders that show a non-Canadian return address.
Bob, the President of Who-R-U, thinks there is a lot of interest for the product in the EU, and the company is exploring a number of plans to expand its customer base.
The first plan, collegially called We-Track-U, will use an app to collect information about its current Canadian customer base. The expansion will allow its Canadian customers to use the app while traveling abroad. He suggests that the company use this app to gather location information. If the plan shows promise, Bob proposes to use push notifications and text messages to encourage existing customers to pre-register for an EU version of the service. Bob calls this work plan, We-Text-U. Once the company has gathered enough pre- registrations, it will develop EU-specific content and services.
Another plan is called Customer for Life. The idea is to offer additional services through the company's app, like storage and sharing of DNA information with other applications and medical providers. The company's contract says that it can keep customer DNA indefinitely, and use it to offer new services and market them to customers. It also says that customers agree not to withdraw direct marketing consent. Paul, the marketing director, suggests that the company should fully exploit these provisions, and that it can work around customers' attempts to withdraw consent because the contract invalidates them.
The final plan is to develop a brand presence in the EU. The company has already begun this process. It is in the process of purchasing the naming rights for a building in Germany, which would come with a few offices that Who-R-U executives can use while traveling internationally. The office doesn't include any technology or infrastructure; rather, it's simply a room with a desk and some chairs.
On a recent trip concerning the naming-rights deal, Bob's laptop is stolen. The laptop held unencrypted DNA reports on 5,000 Who-R-U customers, all of whom are residents of Canad a. The reports include customer name, birthdate, ethnicity, racial background, names of relatives, gender, and occasionally health information.
If Who-R-U decides to track locations using its app, what must it do to comply with the GDPR?
- A. Obtain a court order because location data is a special category of personal data.
- B. Provide a transparent notice to users.
- C. Anonymize the data and add latency so it avoids disclosing real time locations.
- D. Get consent from the app users.
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to the GDPR, location data is a type of personal data that can reveal information about an individual's habits, preferences, or movements1. Location data can also be considered as a special category of personal data if it reveals information about an individual's health, ethnic origin, or religious beliefs2. Therefore, location data is subject to the GDPR's rules on the lawful processing of personal data, which require a valid legal basis, such as consent, contract, legal obligation, vital interest, public interest, or legitimate interest2.
In this scenario, Who-R-U decides to track locations using its app, which means that it collects and processes location data from its app users. This data can be used to identify the app users, as well as to infer information about their interests, preferences, or behavior. Therefore, Who-R-U needs to comply with the GDPR, even if it only offers its services to Canadians, because it monitors the behavior of individuals in the EU2.
One of the possible legal bases for processing location data is consent, which means that the app users must give their informed, specific, and freely given agreement to the collection and use of their location data2. Consent must be obtained before the processing starts, and it must be easy to withdraw at any time2. Consent must also be granular, meaning that the app users must be able to choose which purposes and types of location data they agree to share1.
Therefore, if Who-R-U decides to track locations using its app, it must get consent from the app users, and provide them with clear and transparent information about how, why, and for how long their location data will be processed, who will have access to it, and what rights they have under the GDPR12. Who-R-U must also ensure that the consent is voluntary, and that the app users can opt out of location tracking without affecting the functionality or quality of the app12.

NEW QUESTION # 161
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
The fitness company Vigotron has recently developed a new app called M-Health, which it wants to market on its website as a free download. Vigotron's marketing manager asks his assistant Emily to create a webpage that describes the app and specifies the terms of use. Emily, who is new at Vigotron, is excited about this task.
At her previous job she took a data protection class, and though the details are a little hazy, she recognizes that Vigotron is going to need to obtain user consent for use of the app in some cases. Emily sketches out the following draft, trying to cover as much as possible before sending it to Vigotron's legal department.
Registration Form
Vigotron's new M-Health app makes it easy for you to monitor a variety of health-related activities, including diet, exercise, and sleep patterns. M-Health relies on your smartphone settings (along with other third-party apps you may already have) to collect data about all of these important lifestyle elements, and provide the information necessary for you to enrich your quality of life. (Please click here to read a full description of the services that M-Health provides.) Vigotron values your privacy. The M-Heaith app allows you to decide which information is stored in it, and which apps can access your data. When your device is locked with a passcode, all of your health and fitness data is encrypted with your passcode. You can back up data stored in the Health app to Vigotron's cloud provider, Stratculous. (Read more about Stratculous here.) Vigotron will never trade, rent or sell personal information gathered from the M-Health app. Furthermore, we will not provide a customer's name, email address or any other information gathered from the app to any third- party without a customer's consent, unless ordered by a court, directed by a subpoena, or to enforce the manufacturer's legal rights or protect its business or property.
We are happy to offer the M-Health app free of charge. If you want to download and use it, we ask that you first complete this registration form. (Please note that use of the M-Health app is restricted to adults aged 16 or older, unless parental consent has been given to minors intending to use it.)

NEW QUESTION # 162
Scenario:
WeScanYou is a company offering diagnostic tools for hospitals. Their productScan4Youanalyses imaging data from patients to suggest a diagnosis; this product is sold to clinics in the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom, India, and Australia. The hospital staff accesses the data via a web interface on central servers in Ireland.
* Thecentral administrationof the company worldwide is located inGermany.
* IT DevelopmentinAustraliadesigns and maintains the systems.
* TheIndia officesets the overall data strategy including governance (e.g., storage duration).
* TheFrance officeis responsible for implementation in the EU and ensuring GDPR compliance.
Due to anatural disasterin Australia, hospitals must prioritize patient care. In response, WeScanYou deploys a newAI featurethatautomatically prioritizes patientsbased on urgency predictions and sorts patient files accordingly (though other manual sorting options remain).
A software engineer, opposed to this feature (considering it unethical), sabotages the system and exposes images and automated diagnoses. No names or contact details were included.
Question:
As per the GDPR, what is the primary issue regarding WeScanYou implementing the new AI feature?
- A. Not requesting consent for automated decision-making.
- B. Absence of the right of human intervention.
- C. Lack of transparency about automated decision-making.
- D. Skipping prior consultation of the supervisory authority.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The GDPR regulates automated decision-making underArticle 22 GDPR, which protects individuals from decisionsbased solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal effects or significantly affect them.
Key requirements include:
* Transparency (Articles 13-15 GDPR):Controllers must inform data subjects about the existence of automated decision-making, the logic involved, and its significance and consequences.
* Safeguards (Article 22(3) GDPR):Data subjects should be able to obtain human intervention, express their point of view, and contest the decision.
* Consent (Article 22(2)(c)):Consent is one lawful basis where automated decisions are permitted, but it is not required in every case (e.g., where necessary for medical purposes under Article 9(2)(h) GDPR).
* Prior consultation (Article 36 GDPR):Required only when a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) indicates high risk that cannot be mitigated.
In this case:
* The AI featuredoes not make binding decisions(it sorts files by urgency but leaves alternative sorting available). Therefore,Article 22's prohibition on automated decisions with legal/similar effects is not directly triggered.
* Themain GDPR issueis that WeScanYou must ensuretransparencyabout how automated sorting works, its purpose, and its possible impact on patients and staff.
* Prior consultation (B) is only relevant if a DPIA identifies unmitigable high risks - not the primary concern here.
* Consent (C) is not strictly required, since processing may rely on other lawful bases (e.g., provision of healthcare, public interest in public health).
* Human intervention (D) is not absent, becausemanual sorting remains available.
Thus, theprimary GDPR issueis:
#Lack of transparency about automated decision-making (Option A).
#Reference:
* GDPR Article 22, Recitals 71-72 (automated decision-making and profiling).
* GDPR Articles 13-15 (information and transparency obligations).
* CIPP/E Textbook (3rd ed.), Chapter 9 "Data Subject Rights" (right to information and transparency) and Chapter 7 "Lawful Processing Criteria".
NEW QUESTION # 163
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
You have just been hired by a toy manufacturer based in Hong Kong. The company sells a broad range of dolls, action figures and plush toys that can be found internationally in a wide variety of retail stores. Although the manufacturer has no offices outside Hong Kong and in fact does not employ any staff outside Hong Kong, it has entered into a number of local distribution contracts. The toys produced by the company can be found in all popular toy stores throughout Europe, the United States and Asia. A large portion of the company's revenue is due to international sales.
The company now wishes to launch a new range of connected toys, ones that can talk and interact with children. The CEO of the company is touting these toys as the next big thing, due to the increased possibilities offered: The figures can answer children's Questions: on various subjects, such as mathematical calculations or the weather. Each figure is equipped with a microphone and speaker and can connect to any smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Any mobile device within a 10-meter radius can connect to the toys via Bluetooth as well. The figures can also be associated with other figures (from the same manufacturer) and interact with each other for an enhanced play experience.
When a child asks the toy a question, the request is sent to the cloud for analysis, and the answer is generated on cloud servers and sent back to the figure. The answer is given through the figure's integrated speakers, making it appear as though that the toy is actually responding to the child's question. The packaging of the toy does not provide technical details on how this works, nor does it mention that this feature requires an internet connection. The necessary data processing for this has been outsourced to a data center located in South Africa. However, your company has not yet revised its consumer-facing privacy policy to indicate this.
In parallel, the company is planning to introduce a new range of game systems through which consumers can play the characters they acquire in the course of playing the game. The system will come bundled with a portal that includes a Near-Field Communications (NFC) reader. This device will read an RFID tag in the action figure, making the figure come to life onscreen. Each character has its own stock features and abilities, but it is also possible to earn additional ones by accomplishing game goals. The only information stored in the tag relates to the figures' abilities. It is easy to switch characters during the game, and it is possible to bring the figure to locations outside of the home and have the character's abilities remain intact.
Why is this company obligated to comply with the GDPR?
- A. The company's data center is located in a country outside the EU.
- B. The company's products are marketed directly to EU customers.
- C. The company employs staff in the EU.
- D. The company has offices in the EU.
