• Question 175:

  SCENARIO

  You have just been hired by Ancillary.com, a seller of accessories for everything under the sun, including waterproof stickers for pool floats and decorative bands and cases for sunglasses. The company sells cell phone cases, e-cigarette cases, wine spouts, hanging air fresheners for homes and automobiles, book ends, kitchen implements, visors and shields for computer screens, passport holders, gardening tools and lawn ornaments, and catalogs full of health and beauty products. The list seems endless. As the CEO likes to say, Ancillary offers, without doubt, the widest assortment of low-price consumer products from a single company anywhere.

  Ancillary's operations are similarly diverse. The company originated with a team of sales consultants selling home and beauty products at small parties in the homes of customers, and this base business is still thriving. However, the company now sells online through retail sites designated for industries and demographics, sites such as "My Cool Ride" for automobile-related products or "Zoomer" for gear aimed toward young adults. The company organization includes a plethora of divisions, units and outrigger operations, as Ancillary has been built along a decentered model rewarding individual initiative and flexibility, while also acquiring key assets. The retail sites seem to all function differently, and you wonder about their compliance with regulations and industry standards. Providing tech support to these sites is also a challenge, partly due to a variety of logins and authentication protocols.

  You have been asked to lead three important new projects at Ancillary:

  The first is the personal data management and security component of a multi-faceted initiative to unify the company's culture. For this project, you are considering using a series of third- party servers to provide company data and approved applications to employees.

  The second project involves providing point of sales technology for the home sales force, allowing them to move beyond paper checks and manual credit card imprinting.

  Finally, you are charged with developing privacy protections for a single web store housing all the company's product lines as well as products from affiliates. This new omnibus site will be known, aptly, as "Under the Sun." The Director of Marketing wants the site not only to sell Ancillary's products, but to link to additional products from other retailers through paid advertisements. You need to brief the executive team of security concerns posed by this approach.

  If you are asked to advise on privacy concerns regarding paid advertisements, which is the most important aspect to cover?

  A. Unseen web beacons that combine information on multiple users.
  B. Latent keys that trigger malware when an advertisement is selected.
  C. Personal information collected by cookies linked to the advertising network.
  D. Sensitive information from Structured Query Language (SQL) commands that may be exposed.
  C. Personal information collected by cookies linked to the advertising network.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The most important aspect to cover when advising on privacy concerns regarding paid advertisements would be C. Personal information collected by cookies linked to the advertising network. Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user's device by websites and advertising networks. They can be used to track a user's browsing behavior and collect personal information. This can raise privacy concerns as users may not be aware of the extent of data collection and how their personal information is being used.

• Question 176:

  To meet data protection and privacy legal requirements that may require personal data to be disposed of or deleted when no longer necessary for the use it was collected, what is the best privacy-enhancing solution a privacy technologist should recommend be implemented in application design to meet this requirement?

  A. Implement a process to delete personal data on demand and maintain records on deletion requests.
  B. Implement automated deletion of off-site backup of personal data based on annual risk assessments.
  C. Develop application logic to validate and purge personal data according to legal hold status or retention schedule.
  D. Securely archive personal data not accessed or used in the last 6 months. Automate a quarterly review to delete data from archive once no longer needed.
  C. Develop application logic to validate and purge personal data according to legal hold status or retention schedule.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  This option aligns directly with data protection and privacy legal requirements that mandate the disposal or deletion of personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Developing application logic that validates and purges personal data according to a predefined retention schedule or legal hold status ensures that data is managed in compliance with legal requirements automatically. This solution is proactive and integrated into the system's operation, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring timely compliance with data retention policies.

• Question 177:

  SCENARIO

  Please use the following to answer the next question: Chuck, a compliance auditor for a consulting firm focusing on healthcare clients, was required to travel to the client's office to perform an onsite review of the client's operations. He rented a car from Finley Motors upon arrival at the airport as so he could commute to and from the client's office. The car rental agreement was electronically signed by Chuck and included his name, address, driver's license, make/model of the car, billing rate, and additional details describing the rental transaction. On the second night, Chuck was caught by a red light camera not stopping at an intersection on his way to dinner. Chuck returned the car back to the car rental agency at the end week without mentioning the infraction and Finley Motors emailed a copy of the final receipt to the address on file.

  Local law enforcement later reviewed the red light camera footage. As Finley Motors is the registered owner of the car, a notice was sent to them indicating the infraction and fine incurred. This notice included the license plate number, occurrence date and time, a photograph of the driver, and a web portal link to a video clip of the violation for further review. Finley Motors, however, was not responsible for the violation as they were not driving the car at the time and transferred the incident to AMP Payment Resources for further review. AMP Payment Resources identified Chuck as the driver based on the rental agreement he signed when picking up the car and then contacted Chuck directly through a written letter regarding the infraction to collect the fine.

  After reviewing the incident through the AMP Payment Resources' web portal, Chuck paid the fine using his personal credit card. Two weeks later, Finley Motors sent Chuck an email promotion offering 10% off a future rental.

  What should Finley Motors have done to incorporate the transparency principle of Privacy by Design (PbD)?

  A. Signed a data sharing agreement with AMP Payment Resources.
  B. Documented that Finley Motors has a legitimate interest to share Chuck's information.
  C. Obtained verbal consent from Chuck and recorded it within internal systems.
  D. Provided notice of data sharing practices within the electronically signed rental agreement.
  D. Provided notice of data sharing practices within the electronically signed rental agreement.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  By providing clear and concise notice of its data sharing practices within the rental agreement that Chuck electronically signed, Finley Motors could have ensured that Chuck was informed about how his personal information would be used and shared. This would have helped to increase transparency and build trust with Chuck.

• Question 178:

  An individual drives to the grocery store for dinner. When she arrives at the store, she receives several unsolicited notifications on her phone about discounts on items at the grocery store she is about to shop at. Which type of privacy problem does the represent?

  A. Intrusion.
  B. Surveillance.
  C. Decisional Interference.
  D. Exposure.
  A. Intrusion.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  This scenario represents an intrusion of privacy. Intrusion in the context of privacy typically involves unwanted or unexpected interferences into someone's personal space or activities. Receiving unsolicited notifications about discounts when arriving at the grocery store implies that the individual's location and possibly other data (like shopping habits) are being tracked and used without her explicit consent or expectation, thus constituting an intrusive action.

• Question 179:

  Machine-learning based solutions present a privacy risk because?

  A. Training data used during the training phase is compromised.
  B. The solution may contain inherent bias from the developers.
  C. The decision-making process used by the solution is not documented.
  D. Machine-learning solutions introduce more vulnerabilities than other software.
  A. Training data used during the training phase is compromised.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Machine-learning based solutions present a privacy risk primarily due to the potential compromise of training data used during the training phase. This risk involves exposure or unauthorized access to sensitive or personal data that has been used to train the machine learning model. Such exposure can lead to privacy breaches and the leakage of personal information. Moreover, if the training data includes biased or sensitive information, it can also lead to biased model outputs, but the direct privacy risk comes from the potential exposure of the data itself.

• Question 180:

  What is the best way to protect privacy on a geographic information system (GIS)?

  A. Limiting the data provided to the system.
  B. Using a wireless encryption protocol.
  C. Scrambling location information.
  D. Using a firewall.
  C. Scrambling location information.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  This method involves obfuscating or altering location data to prevent easy identification.

  Techniques include adding noise, aggregating data, or using differential privacy.

  Scrambling enhances privacy while maintaining data utility.
