  • Question 51:

    Which of the following became the first state to pass a law specifically regulating the collection of biometric data?

    A. California.

    B. Texas.

    C. Illinois.

    D. Washington.

  • Question 52:

    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next question:

    Felicia has spent much of her adult life overseas, and has just recently returned to the U.S. to help her friend Celeste open a jewelry store in California. Felicia, despite being excited at the prospect, has a number of security concerns, and has

    only grudgingly accepted the need to hire other employees. In order to guard against the loss of valuable merchandise, Felicia wants to carefully screen applicants. With their permission, Felicia would like to run credit checks, administer

    polygraph tests, and scrutinize videos of interviews. She intends to read applicants' postings on social media, ask questions about drug addiction, and solicit character references. Felicia believes that if potential employees are serious about

    becoming part of a dynamic new business, they will readily agree to these requirements.

    Felicia is also in favor of strict employee oversight. In addition to protecting the inventory, she wants to prevent mistakes during transactions, which will require video monitoring. She also wants to regularly check the company vehicle's GPS

    for locations visited by employees. She also believes that employees who use their own devices for work-related purposes should agree to a certain amount of supervision.

    Given her high standards, Felicia is skeptical about the proposed location of the store. She has been told that many types of background checks are not allowed under California law. Her friend Celeste thinks these worries are unfounded, as

    long as applicants verbally agree to the checks and are offered access to the results. Nor does Celeste share Felicia's concern about state breach notification laws, which, she claims, would be costly to implement even on a minor scale.

    Celeste believes that

    even if the business grows a customer database of a few thousand, it's unlikely that a state agency would hassle an honest business if an accidental security incident were to occur.

    In any case, Celeste feels that all they need is common sense ?like remembering to tear up sensitive documents before throwing them in the recycling bin. Felicia hopes that she's right, and that all of her concerns will be put to rest next

    month when their new business consultant (who is also a privacy professional) arrives from North Carolina.

    Regarding credit checks of potential employees, Celeste has a misconception regarding what?

    A. Consent requirements.

    B. Disclosure requirements.

    C. Employment-at-will rules.

    D. Records retention policies

  • Question 53:

    What information did the Red Flag Program Clarification Act of 2010 add to the original Red Flags rule?

    A. The most common methods of identity theft.

    B. The definition of what constitutes a creditor.

    C. The process for proper disposal of sensitive data.

    D. The components of an identity theft detection program.

  • Question 54:

    Although an employer may have a strong incentive or legal obligation to monitor employees' conduct or behavior, some excessive monitoring may be considered an intrusion on employees' privacy? Which of the following is the strongest example of excessive monitoring by the employer?

    A. An employer who installs a video monitor in physical locations, such as a warehouse, to ensure employees are performing tasks in a safe manner and environment.

    B. An employer who installs data loss prevention software on all employee computers to limit transmission of confidential company information.

    C. An employer who installs video monitors in physical locations, such as a changing room, to reduce the risk of sexual harassment.

    D. An employer who records all employee phone calls that involve financial transactions with customers completed over the phone.

  • Question 55:

    Which federal agency plays a role in privacy policy, but does NOT have regulatory authority?

    A. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

    B. The Federal Communications Commission.

    C. The Department of Transportation.

    D. The Department of Commerce.

  • Question 56:

    Which of the following is NOT one of three broad categories of products offered by data brokers, as identified by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC)?

    A. Research (such as information for understanding consumer trends).

    B. Risk mitigation (such as information that may reduce the risk of fraud).

    C. Location of individuals (such as identifying an individual from partial information).

    D. Marketing (such as appending data to customer information that a marketing company already has).

  • Question 57:

    SCENARIO

    Please use the following to answer the next question:

    Noah is trying to get a new job involving the management of money. He has a poor personal credit rating, but he has made better financial decisions in the past two years.

    One potential employer, Arnie's Emporium, recently called to tell Noah he did not get a position. As part of the application process, Noah signed a consent form allowing the employer to request his credit report from a consumer reporting

    agency (CRA). Noah thinks that the report hurt his chances, but believes that he may not ever know whether it was his credit that cost him the job. However, Noah is somewhat relieved that he was not offered this particular position. He

    noticed that the store where he interviewed was extremely disorganized. He imagines that his credit report could still

    be sitting in the office, unsecured.

    Two days ago, Noah got another interview for a position at Sam's Market. The interviewer told Noah that his credit report would be a factor in the hiring decision. Noah was surprised because he had not seen anything on paper about this

    when he applied.

    Regardless, the effect of Noah's credit on his employability troubles him, especially since he has tried so hard to improve it. Noah made his worst financial decisions fifteen years ago, and they led to bankruptcy. These were decisions he

    made as a young man, and most of his debt at the time consisted of student loans, credit card debt, and a few unpaid bills ?all of which Noah is still working to pay off. He often laments that decisions he made fifteen years ago are still

    affecting him today.

    In addition, Noah feels that an experience investing with a large bank may have contributed to his financial troubles. In 2007, in an effort to earn money to help pay off his debt, Noah talked to a customer service representative at a large

    investment company who urged him to purchase stocks. Without understanding the risks, Noah agreed. Unfortunately, Noah lost a great deal of money.

    After losing the money, Noah was a customer of another financial institution that suffered a large security breach. Noah was one of millions of customers whose personal information was compromised. He wonders if he may have been a

    victim of identity theft and whether this may have negatively affected his credit.

    Noah hopes that he will soon be able to put these challenges behind him, build excellent credit, and find the perfect job.

    Based on the scenario, which legislation should ease Noah's worry about his credit report as a result of applying at Arnie's Emporium?

    A. The Privacy Rule under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

    B. The Safeguards Rule under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

    C. The Disposal Rule under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA).

    D. The Red Flags Rule under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA).

  • Question 58:

    What consumer service was the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) originally intended to provide?

    A. The ability to receive reports from multiple credit reporting agencies.

    B. The ability to appeal negative credit-based decisions.

    C. The ability to correct inaccurate credit information.

    D. The ability to investigate incidents of identity theft.

  • Question 59:

    Privacy Is Hiring Inc., a CA-based company, is an online specialty recruiting firm focusing on placing privacy professionals in roles at major companies. Job candidates create online profiles outlining their experience and credentials, and can pay $19.99/month via credit card to have their profiles promoted to potential employers. Privacy Is Hiring Inc. keeps all customer data at rest encrypted on its servers.

    Under what circumstances would Privacy Is Hiring Inc., need to notify affected individuals in the event of a data breach?

    A. If law enforcement has completed its investigation and has authorized Privacy Is Hiring Inc. to provide the notification to clients and applicable regulators.

    B. If the job candidates' credit card information and the encryption keys were among the information taken.

    C. If Privacy Is Hiring Inc., reasonably believes that job candidates will be harmed by the data breach.

    D. If the personal information stolen included the individuals' names and credit card pin numbers.
