    SCENARIO Please use the following to answer the next question: Dynaroux Fashion (`Dynaroux') is a successful international online clothing retailer that employs approximately 650 people at its headquarters based in Dublin, Ireland. Ronan is their recently appointed data protection officer, who oversees

    the company's compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other privacy legislation.

    The company offers both male and female clothing lines across all age demographics, including children. In doing so, the company processes large amounts of information about such customers, including preferences and sensitive financial

    information such as credit card and bank account numbers.

    In an aggressive bid to build revenue growth, Jonas, the CEO, tells Ronan that the company is launching a new mobile app and loyalty scheme that puts significant emphasis on profiling the company's customers by analyzing their purchases.

    Ronan tells the CEO that: (a) the potential risks of such activities means that

    Dynaroux needs to carry out a data protection impact assessment to assess this new venture and its privacy implications; and (b) where the results of this assessment indicate a high risk in the absence of appropriate protection measures,

    Dynaroux mayhave to undertake a prior consultation with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner before implementing the app and loyalty scheme.

    Jonas tells Ronan that he is not happy about the prospect of having to directly engage with a supervisory authority and having to disclose details of Dynaroux's business plan and associated processing activities.

  • Question 29:

    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 refinement of the CreditPlaya Information Tracking System (ITS) is a processing activity that should be?

    A. Explained in the privacy notice, with a list of the special categories of applicants' data.
    B. Specified in the Terms and Conditions document sent to applicants.
    C. Capable of allowing applicants to exercise their Right to Object.
    D. Subject to the explicit consent of the applicants.

  • Question 30:

    Which marketing-related activity is least likely to be covered by the provisions of Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (Directive 2002/58/EC)?

    A. Advertisements passively displayed on a website.
    B. The use of cookies to collect data about an individual.
    C. A text message to individuals from a company offering concert tickets for sale.
    D. An email from a retail outlet promoting a sale to one of their previous customer.
