  • Question 163:

    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 andorganizational 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    Unfortunately, Company C's U.S. server is only protected by an outdated IT security system, and suffers a cyber security incident soon after Company C begins work on the project.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. Hiring companies whose measures are consistent with recommendations of accrediting bodies.

    B. Requesting advice and technical support from Company A's IT team.

    C. Avoiding the use of another company's data to improve their own services.

    D. Vetting companies' measures with the appropriate supervisory authority.

  • Question 164:

    Which sentence best describes proper compliance for an international organization using Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) as a controller or processor?

    A. Employees must sign an ad hoc contractual agreement each time personal data is exported.

    B. All employees are subject to the rules in their entirety, regardless of where the work is taking place.

    C. All employees must follow the privacy regulations of the jurisdictions where the current scope of their work is established.

    D. Employees who control personal data must complete a rigorous certification procedure, as they are exempt from legal enforcement.

  • Question 165:

    Article 9 of the GDPR lists exceptions to the general prohibition against processing biometric data. Which of the following is NOT one of these exceptions?

    A. The processing is done by a non-profit organization and the results are disclosed outside the organization.

    B. The processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject when he or she is incapable of giving consent.

    C. The processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims when courts are acting in a judicial capacity.

    D. The processing is explicitly consented to by the data subject and he or she is allowed by Union or Member State law to lift the prohibition.

  • Question 166:

    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.

    JaphSoft's use of pseudonymization is NOT in compliance with the CDPR because?

    A. JaphSoft failed to first anonymize the personal data.

    B. JaphSoft pseudonymized all the data instead of deleting what it no longer needed.

    C. JaphSoft was in possession of information that could be used to identify data subjects.

    D. JaphSoft failed to keep personally identifiable information in a separate database.

  • Question 167:

    Under Article 80(1) of the GDPR, individuals can elect to be represented by not-for-profit organizations in a privacy group litigation or class action. These organizations are commonly known as?

    A. Law firm organizations.

    B. Civil society organizations.

    C. Human rights organizations.

    D. Constitutional rights organizations.

  • Question 168:

    According to the GDPR, how is pseudonymous personal data defined?

    A. Data that can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information kept separately.

    B. Data that can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject, with no possibility of re-identifying the data.

    C. Data that has been rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is no longer identifiable.

    D. Data that has been encrypted or is subject to other technical safeguards.

  • Question 169:

    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. Protection of the interests of the data subjects.

    B. Performance of a contact

    C. Legitimate interest

    D. Consent

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

    For what reason would JaphSoft be considered a controller under the GDPR?

    A. It determines how long to retain the personal data collected.

    B. It has been provided access to personal data in the MarketIQ database.

    C. It uses personal data to improve its products and services for its client-base through machine learning.

    D. It makes decisions regarding the technical and organizational measures necessary to protect the personal data.
