  • Question 132:

    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next question:

    Brady is a computer programmer based in New Zealand who has been running his own business for two years. Brady's business provides a low-cost suite of services to customers throughout the European Economic Area (EEA). The services are targeted towards new and aspiring small business owners. Brady's company, called Brady Box, provides web page design services, a Social Networking Service (SNS) and consulting services that help people manage their own online stores.

    Unfortunately, Brady has been receiving some complaints. A customer named Anna recently uploaded her plans for a new product onto Brady Box's chat area, which is open to public viewing. Although she realized her mistake two weeks later and removedthe document, Anna is holding Brady Box responsible for not noticing the error through regular monitoring of the website. Brady believes he should not be held liable.

    Another customer, Felipe, was alarmed to discover that his personal information was transferred to a third-party contractor called Hermes Designs and worries that sensitive information regarding his business plans may be misused. Brady does not believe he violated European privacy rules. He provides a privacy notice to all of his customers explicitly stating that personal data may be transferred to specific third parties in fulfillment of a requested service. Felipe says he read the privacy notice but that it was long and complicated

    Brady continues to insist that Felipe has no need to be concerned, as he can personally vouch for the integrity of Hermes Designs. In fact, Hermes Designs has taken the initiative to create sample customized banner advertisements for customers like Felipe. Brady is happy to provide a link to the example banner ads, now posted on the Hermes Designs webpage. Hermes Designs plans on following up with direct marketing to these customers.

    Brady was surprised when another customer, Serge, expressed his dismay that a quotation by him is being used within a graphic collage on Brady Box's home webpage. The quotation is attributed to Serge by first and last name. Brady, however, was not worried about any sort of litigation. He wrote back to Serge to let him know that he found the quotation within Brady Box's Social Networking Service (SNS), as Serge himself had posted the quotation. In his response, Brady did offer to remove the quotation as a courtesy.

    Despite some customer complaints, Brady's business is flourishing. He even supplements his income through online behavioral advertising (OBA) via a third-party ad network with whom he has set clearly defined roles. Brady is pleased that, although some customers are not explicitly aware of the OBA, the advertisements contain useful products and services.

    Based on current trends in European privacy practices, which aspect of Brady Box' Online Behavioral Advertising (OBA) is most likely to be insufficient if the company becomes established in Europe?

    A. The lack of the option to opt in.
    B. The level of security within the website.
    C. The contract with the third-party advertising network.
    D. The need to have the contents of the advertising approved.

  • Question 133:

    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next question:

    CreditPlaya, SA is an established Spanish online insurance company whose exclusive activity is providing health insurance for legal residents of Spain, regardless of their nationality.

    CreditPlaya autonomously manages its own website, through which a potential customer, engaging in a free pre-contractual activity, enters his or her full name, e-mail address, tax identification number (to verify residence in Spain), age,

    profession, and the full names of any other adult members of his or her family.

    With this data, CreditPlaya immediately sends an email granting or denying eligibility for a health insurance policy. In the case of eligibility, the email also contains the eventual cost of the policy and two PDF documents – one with the contractual Terms and Conditions, and the other with the privacy notice as required by Article 13 of the GDPR. The CreditPlaya Information Tracking System (ITS) is very efficient, with a low rate of unpaid insurance policies. The ITS is automatically fed by the information provided by every applicant, whose data is then used to refine insurance policy

    rates.

    To ensure their back-up procedures, in January 2021 CreditPlaya started sending weekly copies of the whole database with all the applicants' personal data to an independent company in Uruguay. The information was sent through state-ofthe-art encrypting tools, but once in Uruguay was stored without any encryption method. In March 2022, the entire data base stored on the Uruguay's company servers was encrypted by malicious ransomware. There was no evidence that the data was accessed by unauthorized persons, much less altered or exfiltrated. Despite

    the incident, CreditPlaya found that they could rely on the locally based Spanish back-up information and carry on its activity without interrupting its operations. The incident caused the termination of the professional relationship between the two companies.

    The content of the email that CreditPlaya sends does not comply with GDPR requirements because it lacks what?

    A. The list of information with regard to personal data that were not obtained from the data subject, according to Article 14.
    B. The list of the processors and subprocessors involved in the processing, as required by Article 28.
    C. The list of processing activities as set out in the records of processing activities, according to Article 30.
    D. The list of technical and organizational measures that will be implemented, according to Article 32.

  • Question 134:

    All of the following will be established by the second Network and Information Security Directive ("NIS2") EXCEPT?

    A. Baseline cybersecurity measures that each covered entity must address.
    B. Powers to inspect, audit, or require information from covered organizations.
    C. A common controls framework that every organization must adopt.
    D. A new network for EU member states to cooperate on large-scale breaches.

  • Question 135:

    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next question:

    Liem, an online retailer known for its environmentally friendly shoes, has recently expanded its presence in Europe. Anxious to achieve market dominance, Liem teamed up with another eco friendly company, EcoMick, which sells accessories like belts and bags. Together the companies drew up a series of marketing campaigns designed to highlight the environmental and economic benefits of their products. After months of planning, Liem and EcoMick entered into a data sharing agreement to use the same marketing database, MarketIQ, to send the campaigns to their respective contacts.

    Liem and EcoMick also entered into a data processing agreement with MarketIQ, the terms of which included processing personal data only upon Liem and EcoMick's instructions, and making available to them all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with GDPR obligations.

    Liem and EcoMick then procured the services of a company called JaphSoft, a marketing optimization firm that uses machine learning to help companies run successful campaigns. Clients provide JaphSoft with the personal data of individuals they would like to be targeted in each campaign. To ensure protection of its

    clients' data, JaphSoft implements the technical and organizational measures it deems appropriate. JaphSoft works to continually improve its machine learning models by analyzing the data it receives from its clients to determine the most successful components of a successful campaign. JaphSoft then uses such models in providing services to its client-base. Since the models improve only over a period of time as more information is collected, JaphSoft does not have a deletion process for the data it receives from clients. However, to ensure compliance with data privacy rules, JaphSoft pseudonymizes the personal data by removing identifying

    information from the contact information. JaphSoft's engineers, however, maintain all contact information in the same database as the identifying information.

    Under its agreement with Liem and EcoMick, JaphSoft received access to MarketIQ, which included contact information as well as prior purchase history for such contacts,to create campaigns that would result in the most views of the two companies' websites. A prior Liem customer, Ms. Iman, received a marketing campaign from JaphSoft regarding Liem's as well as EcoMick's latest products. While Ms. Iman recalls checking a box to receive information in the future regarding

    Liem's products, she has never shopped EcoMick, nor provided her personal data to that company.

    Under the GDPR, Liem and EcoMick's contract with MarketIQ must include all of the following provisions EXCEPT?

    A. Processing the personal data upon documented instructions regarding data transfers outside of the EEA.
    B. Notification regarding third party requests for access to Liem and EcoMick's personal data.
    C. Assistance to Liem and EcoMick in their compliance with data protection impact assessments.
    D. Returning or deleting personal data after the end of the provision of the services.

  • Question 136:

    A. The higher of up to 10 million Euro or up to 2% of the entity's total worldwide turnover for the preceding financial year.
    B. The higher of up to 40 million Euro or up to 8% of the entity's total worldwide turnover for the preceding financial year.
    C. The higher of up to 20 million Euro or up to 4% of the entity's total worldwide turnover for the preceding financial year.

  • Question 137:

    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next question:

    It has been a tough season for the Spanish Handball League, with acts of violence and racism having increased exponentially during their last few matches.

    In order to address this situation, the Spanish Minister of Sports, in conjunction with the National Handball League Association, issued an Administrative Order (the "Act") obliging all the professional clubs to install a fingerprint-reading system for accessing some areas of the sports halls, primarily the ones directly behind the goalkeepers. The rest of the areas would retain the current access system, which allows any spectators access as long as they hold valid tickets. The Act named a selected hardware and software provider, New Digital Finger, Ltd., for the creation of the new fingerprint system. Additionally, it stipulated that any of the professional clubs that failed to install this system within a two-year period would face fines under the Act.

    The Murla HB Club was the first to install the new system, renting the New Digital Finger hardware and software. Immediately afterward, the Murla HB Club automatically renewed current supporters' subscriptions, while introducing a new contractual clause requiring supporters to access specific areas of the hall through the new fingerprint reading system installed at the gates.

    After the first match hosted by the Murla HB Club, a local supporter submitted a complaint to the club and to the Spanish Data Protection Authority (the AEPD), claiming that the new access system violates EU data protection laws. Having been notified by the AEPD of the upcoming investigation regarding this complaint, the Murla HB Club immediately carried out a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA), the conclusions of which stated that the new access system did not pose any high risks to data subjects' privacy rights.

    The Murla HB Club should have carried out a DPIA before the installation of the new access system and at what other time?

    A. After the complaint of the supporter.
    B. Periodically, when new risks were foreseen.
    C. At the end of every match of the season.
    D. After the AEPD notification of the investigation.
