    SCENARIO Please use the following to answer the next question: Joe started the Gummy Bear Company in 2000 from his home in Vermont, USA. Today, it is a multi-billion-dollar candy company operating in every continent. All of the company's IT servers are located in Vermont. This year Joe hires his son

    Ben to join the company and head up Project Big, which is a major marketing strategy to triple gross revenue in just 5 years. Ben graduated with a PhD in computer software from a top university. Ben decided to join his father's company, but

    is also secretly working on launching a new global online dating website company called Ben Knows Best.

    Ben is aware that the Gummy Bear Company has millions of customers and believes that many of them might also be interested in finding their perfect match. For Project Big, Ben redesigns the company's online web portal and requires

    customers in the European Union and elsewhere to provide additional personal information in order to remain a customer. Project Ben begins collecting data about customers' philosophical beliefs, political opinions and marital status.

    If a customer identifies as single, Ben then copies all of that customer's personal data onto a separate database for Ben Knows Best. Ben believes that he is not doing anything wrong, because he explicitly asks each customer to give their

    consent by requiring them to check a box before accepting their information. As Project Big is an important project, the company also hires a first year college student named Sam, who is studying computer science to help Ben out.

    Ben calls out and Sam comes across the Ben Knows Best database. Sam is planning on going to Ireland over Spring Beak with 10 of his friends, so he copies all of the customer information of people that reside in Ireland so that he and his

    friends can contact people when they are in Ireland.

    Joe also hires his best friend's daughter, Alice, who just graduated from law school in the US., to be the company's new General Counsel. Alice has heard about the GDPR, so she does some research on it. Alice approaches Joe and informs

    him that she has drafted up Binding Corporate Rules for everyone in the company to follow, as it is important for the company to have in place a legal mechanism to transfer data internally from the company's operations in the European

    Union to the U.S.

    Joe believes that Alice is doing a great job, and informs her that she will also be in-charge of handling a major lawsuit that has been brought against the company in federal court in the U.S. To prepare for the lawsuit, Alice instructs the

    company's IT department to make copies of the computer hard drives from the entire global sales team, including the European Union, and send everything to her so that she can review everyone's information. Alice believes that Joe will be

    happy that she did the first level review, as it will save the company a lot of money that would otherwise be paid to its outside law firm.

    In preparing the company for its impending lawsuit, Alice's instruction to the company's IT Department violated Article 5 of the GDPR because the company failed to first do what?

    A. Send out consent forms to all of its employees.
    B. Minimize the amount of data collected for the lawsuit.
    C. Inform all of its employees about the lawsuit.
    D. Encrypt the data from all of its employees.

    C. To determine whether a controller or processor has the right to a judicial remedy concerning a compensation decision made against them.
    D. To require data controllers to provide them with written notification of all new processing activities.

  • Question 107:
