    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next question:

    A US-based startup company is selling a new gaming application. One day, the CEO of the company receives an urgent letter from a prominent EU-based retail partner. Triggered by an unresolved complaint lodged by an EU resident, the

    letter describes an ongoing investigation by a supervisory authority into the retailer's data handling practices.

    The complainant accuses the retailer of improperly disclosing her personal data, without consent, to parties in the United States. Further, the complainant accuses the EU-based retailer of failing to respond to her withdrawal of consent and request for erasure of her personal data. Your organization, the US-based startup company, was never informed of this request for erasure by the EU-based retail partner. The supervisory authority investigating the complaint has threatened the suspension of data flows if the parties involved do not cooperate with the investigation. The letter closes with an urgent request: "Please act immediately by identifying all personal data received from our company."

    This is an important partnership. Company executives know that its biggest fans come from Western Europe; and this retailer is primarily responsible for the startup's rapid market penetration.

    As the Company's data privacy leader, you are sensitive to the criticality of the relationship with the retailer.

    At this stage of the investigation, what should the data privacy leader review first?

    A. Available data flow diagrams

    B. The text of the original complaint

    C. The company's data privacy policies

    D. Prevailing regulation on this subject

  • Question 175:

    A. Obtaining consumer consent when collecting sensitive data for certain purposes

    B. Establishing a system of self-regulatory codes for mobile-related services

    C. Incorporating privacy protections throughout the development process

    D. Implementing a system of standardization for privacy notices

  • Question 176:

    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next question:

    Cheryl is the sole owner of Fitness Coach, Inc., a medium-sized company that helps individuals realize their physical fitness goals through classes, individual instruction, and access to an extensive indoor gym. She has owned the company

    for ten years and has always been concerned about protecting customers' privacy while maintaining the highest level of service. She is proud that she has built long-lasting customer relationships.

    Although Cheryl and her staff have tried to make privacy protection a priority, the company has no formal privacy policy. So Cheryl hired Janice, a privacy professional, to help her develop one.

    After an initial assessment, Janice created a first of a new policy. Cheryl read through the draft and was concerned about the many changes the policy would bring throughout the company. For example, the draft policy stipulates that a

    customer's personal information can only be held for one year after paying for a service such as a session with personal trainer. It also promises that customer information will not be shared with third parties without the written consent of the

    customer. The wording of these rules worries Cheryl since stored personal information often helps her company to serve her customers, even if there are long pauses between their visits. In addition, there are some third parties that provide

    crucial services, such as aerobics instructors who teach classes on a contract basis. Having access to customer files and understanding the fitness levels of their students helps instructors to organize their classes.

    Janice understood Cheryl's concerns and was already formulating some ideas for revision. She tried to put Cheryl at ease by pointing out that customer data can still be kept, but that it should be classified according to levels of sensitivity.

    However, Cheryl was skeptical. It seemed that classifying data and treating each type differently would cause undue difficulties in the company's day-to-day operations. Cheryl wants one simple data storage and access system that any

    employee can access if needed.

    Even though the privacy policy was only a draft, she was beginning to see that changes within her company were going to be necessary. She told Janice that she would be more comfortable with implementing the new policy gradually over a

    period of several months, one department at a time. She was also interested in a layered approach by creating documents listing applicable parts of the new policy for each department.

    Based on the scenario, which of the following would have helped Janice to better meet the company's needs?

    A. Creating a more comprehensive plan for implementing a new policy

    B. Spending more time understanding the company's information goals

    C. Explaining the importance of transparency in implementing a new policy

    D. Removing the financial burden of the company's employee training program
