IAPP CIPP-E Test Engine Dumps Training With 294 Questions [Q11-Q34]

NEW QUESTION 11
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.
For what reason would JaphSoft be considered a controller under the GDPR?

It determines how long to retain the personal data collected.

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

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

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

NEW QUESTION 14
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Gentle Hedgehog Inc. is a privately owned website design agency incorporated in Italy. The company has numerous remote workers in different EU countries. Recently, the management of Gentle Hedgehog noticed a decrease in productivity of their sales team, especially among remote workers. As a result, the company plans to implement a robust but privacy-friendly remote surveillance system to prevent absenteeism, reward top performers, and ensure the best quality of customer service when sales people are interacting with customers.
Gentle Hedgehog eventually hires Sauron Eye Inc., a Chinese vendor of employee surveillance software whose European headquarters is in Germany. Sauron Eye’s software provides powerful remote-monitoring capabilities, including 24/7 access to computer cameras and microphones, screen captures, emails, website history, and keystrokes. Any device can be remotely monitored from a central server that is securely installed at Gentle Hedgehog headquarters. The monitoring is invisible by default; however, a so-called Transparent Mode, which regularly and conspicuously notifies all users about the monitoring and its precise scope, also exists. Additionally, the monitored employees are required to use a built-in verification technology involving facial recognition each time they log in.
All monitoring data, including the facial recognition data, is securely stored in Microsoft Azure cloud servers operated by Sauron Eye, which are physically located in France.
What monitoring may be lawfully performed within the scope of Gentle Hedgehog’s business?

Everything offered by Sauron Eye’s software with the exception of camera and microphone monitoring.

Everything offered by Sauron Eye’s software, assuming employees provide daily consent to the monitoring.

Only video calls conducted during business hours and emails that do not contain a “private” or “personal” tag.

Only emails, website browsing history and camera for internal video calls that are expressly marked as monitored.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) does not prohibit surveillance of employees in the workplace. Still, it requires employers to follow special rules to ensure that the rights and freedoms of employees are protected when processing their personal data. The GDPR applies to any processing of personal data in the context of the activities of an establishment of a controller or a processor in the EU, regardless of whether the processing takes place in the EU or not. The GDPR also applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the EU by a controller or processor not established in the EU, where the processing activities are related to the offering of goods or services to data subjects in the EU or the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the EU.
The GDPR requires that any processing of personal data must be lawful, fair and transparent, and based on one of the six legal grounds specified in the regulation. The most relevant legal grounds for employee surveillance are the legitimate interests of the employer, the performance of a contract with the employee, or the compliance with a legal obligation. The GDPR also requires that any processing of personal data must be limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which they are processed, and that the data subjects must be informed of the purposes and the legal basis of the processing, as well as their rights and the safeguards in place to protect their data.
The GDPR also imposes specific obligations and restrictions on the processing of special categories of personal data, such as biometric data, which reveal racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, or which are processed for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person. The processing of such data is prohibited, unless one of the ten exceptions listed in the regulation applies. The most relevant exceptions for employee surveillance are the explicit consent of the data subject, the necessity for the purposes of carrying out the obligations and exercising specific rights of the controller or of the data subject in the field of employment and social security and social protection law, or the necessity for reasons of substantial public interest.
The GDPR also sets out the rules and requirements for the transfer of personal data to third countries or international organisations, which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection. The transfer of such data is only allowed if the controller or processor has provided appropriate safeguards, such as binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses, codes of conduct or certification mechanisms, and if the data subjects have enforceable rights and effective legal remedies.
Based on the scenario, the only monitoring that may be lawfully performed within the scope of Gentle Hedgehog’s business is the monitoring of emails, website browsing history and camera for internal video calls that are expressly marked as monitored. This option is the most consistent with the GDPR’s principles and requirements, as it:
Is based on the legitimate interests of the employer to ensure the productivity, quality and security of the work performed by the employees, as well as the performance of a contract with the employees and the compliance with a legal obligation to prevent fraud and protect confidential information.
Is limited to what is necessary for the purposes of the monitoring, as it only covers the work-related activities and communications of the employees, and excludes the private or personal ones.
Is transparent to the employees, as it informs them of the monitoring and its precise scope, and gives them the opportunity to object or opt out of the monitoring.
Does not involve the processing of special categories of personal data, such as biometric data or data revealing political opinions or trade union membership, which are not necessary or proportionate for the purposes of the monitoring.
Does not involve the transfer of personal data to a third country, such as China, which does not provide an adequate level of data protection, and which may pose additional risks for the rights and freedoms of the employees.
The other options listed in the question are not lawful monitoring within the scope of Gentle Hedgehog’s business, as they:
Are not based on a valid legal ground for the processing of personal data, as they either rely on the consent of the employees, which is not freely given, informed and specific, or on the legitimate interests of the employer, which are not balanced with the rights and freedoms of the employees.
Are not limited to what is necessary for the purposes of the monitoring, as they involve the collection and processing of excessive and irrelevant personal data, such as camera and microphone monitoring, screen captures, keystrokes, and facial recognition data, which go beyond the scope of the work performed by the employees, and intrude into their private or personal sphere.
Are not transparent to the employees, as they do not inform them of the monitoring and its precise scope, and do not give them the opportunity to object or opt out of the monitoring.
Involve the processing of special categories of personal data, such as biometric data or data revealing political opinions or trade union membership, which are not necessary or proportionate for the purposes of the monitoring, and which do not fall under any of the exceptions listed in the regulation.
Involve the transfer of personal data to a third country, such as China, which does not provide an adequate level of data protection, and which may pose additional risks for the rights and freedoms of the employees.

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

JaphSoft failed to first anonymize the personal data.

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

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

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

NEW QUESTION 16
An unforeseen power outage results in company Z’s lack of access to customer data for six hours. According to article 32 of the GDPR, this is considered a breach. Based on the WP 29’s February, 2018 guidance, company Z should do which of the following?

Notify affected individuals that their data was unavailable for a period of time.

Document the loss of availability to demonstrate accountability

Notify the supervisory authority about the loss of availability

Conduct a thorough audit of all security systems

According to Article 32 of the GDPR, the controller and the processor must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of the processing, including the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident1. A personal data breach is defined as a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed2. Therefore, a power outage that results in the loss of availability of customer data for six hours is considered a personal data breach under the GDPR.
Based on the WP 29’s February, 2018 guidance, which was endorsed by the European Data Protection Board, company Z should document the loss of availability to demonstrate accountability3. The guidance states that controllers must document any personal data breaches, comprising the facts relating to the personal data breach, its effects and the remedial action taken, regardless of whether the breach needs to be notified to the supervisory authority or the data subjects. This documentation must enable the supervisory authority to verify compliance with the GDPR and must be made available to the supervisory authority on request4.
The other options (A, C, and D) are not required by the GDPR or the guidance, although they may be advisable or beneficial depending on the circumstances. Option A is not mandatory, as the GDPR only requires the controller to communicate the personal data breach to the data subject when the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons5. A temporary loss of availability may not pose such a high risk, unless it affects the data subject’s essential services or activities. Option C is also not obligatory, as the GDPR only requires the controller to notify the supervisory authority of the personal data breach within 72 hours unless the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons6. A short-term loss of availability may not entail such a risk, unless it affects a large number of data subjects or sensitive data. Option D is not specified by the GDPR or the guidance, although it may be a good practice to conduct a thorough audit of all security systems after a personal data breach to identify and address any vulnerabilities or weaknesses that may have contributed to the incident or may lead to future incidents.

NEW QUESTION 18
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Joe started the Gummy Bear Company in 2000 from his home in Vermont, USA.
Today, it is a multi-billion-dollar candy company operating in every continent. All of the company’s IT servers are located in Vermont. This year Joe hires his son Ben to join the company and head up Project Big, which is a major marketing strategy to triple gross revenue in just 5 years. Ben graduated with a PhD in computer software from a top university. Ben decided to join his father’s company, but is also secretly working on launching a new global online dating website company called Ben Knows Best.
Ben is aware that the Gummy Bear Company has millions of customers and believes that many of them might also be interested in finding their perfect match. For Project Big, Ben redesigns the company’s online web portal and requires customers in the European Union and elsewhere to provide additional personal information in order to remain a customer. Project Ben begins collecting data about customers’ philosophical beliefs, political opinions and marital status.
If a customer identifies as single, Ben then copies all of that customer’s personal data onto a separate database for Ben Knows Best. Ben believes that he is not doing anything wrong, because he explicitly asks each customer to give their consent by requiring them to check a box before accepting their information. As Project Big is an important project, the company also hires a first year college student named Sam, who is studying computer science to help Ben out.
Ben calls out and Sam comes across the Ben Knows Best database. Sam is planning on going to Ireland over Spring Beak with 10 of his friends, so he copies all of the customer information of people that reside in Ireland so that he and his friends can contact people when they are in Ireland.
Joe also hires his best friend’s daughter, Alice, who just graduated from law school in the U.S., to be the company’s new General Counsel. Alice has heard about the GDPR, so she does some research on it. Alice approaches Joe and informs him that she has drafted up Binding Corporate Rules for everyone in the company to follow, as it is important for the company to have in place a legal mechanism to transfer data internally from the company’s operations in the European Union to the U.S.
Joe believes that Alice is doing a great job, and informs her that she will also be in-charge of handling a major lawsuit that has been brought against the company in federal court in the U.S. To prepare for the lawsuit, Alice instructs the company’s IT department to make copies of the computer hard drives from the entire global sales team, including the European Union, and send everything to her so that she can review everyone’s information. Alice believes that Joe will be happy that she did the first level review, as it will save the company a lot of money that would otherwise be paid to its outside law firm.
Ben’s collection of additional data from customers created several potential issues for the company, which would most likely require what?

New corporate governance and code of conduct.

A data protection impact assessment.

A comprehensive data inventory.

Hiring a data protection officer.

NEW QUESTION 19
According to the EDPB Guidelines 01/2021 on Examples regarding Personal Data Breach Notification, if exfiltration of job application data (submitted through online application forms and stored on a webserver) resulted in personal information being accessible to unauthorized persons, this would be primarily considered what kind of breach?

An integrity breach.

An accuracy breach.

An availability breach.

A confidentiality breach.

NEW QUESTION 20
Which of the following would most likely NOT be covered by the definition of “personal data” under the GDPR?

The payment card number of a Dutch citizen

The U.S. social security number of an American citizen living in France

The unlinked aggregated data used for statistical purposes by an Italian company

The identification number of a German candidate for a professional examination in Germany

NEW QUESTION 21
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 may have 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.
Which of the following facts about Dynaroux would trigger a data protection impact assessment under the GDPR?

The company will be undertaking processing activities involving sensitive data categories such as financial and children’s data.

The company employs approximately 650 people and will therefore be carrying out extensive processing activities.

The company plans to undertake profiling of its customers through analysis of their purchasing patterns.

The company intends to shift their business model to rely more heavily on online shopping.

NEW QUESTION 22
A Spanish electricity customer calls her local supplier with Questions: about the company’s upcoming merger. Specifically, the customer wants to know the recipients to whom her personal data will be disclosed once the merger is final. According to Article 13 of the GDPR, what must the company do before providing the customer with the requested information?

Verify that the request is applicable to the data collected before the GDPR entered into force.

Verify that the purpose of the request from the customer is in line with the GDPR.

Verify that the personal data has not already been sent to the customer.

Verify that the identity of the customer can be proven by other means.

NEW QUESTION 23
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
You have just been hired by a toy manufacturer based in Hong Kong. The company sells a broad range of dolls, action figures and plush toys that can be found internationally in a wide variety of retail stores. Although the manufacturer has no offices outside Hong Kong and in fact does not employ any staff outside Hong Kong, it has entered into a number of local distribution contracts. The toys produced by the company can be found in all popular toy stores throughout Europe, the United States and Asia. A large portion of the company’s revenue is due to international sales.
The company now wishes to launch a new range of connected toys, ones that can talk and interact with children. The CEO of the company is touting these toys as the next big thing, due to the increased possibilities offered: The figures can answer children’s questions on various subjects, such as mathematical calculations or the weather. Each figure is equipped with a microphone and speaker and can connect to any smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Any mobile device within a 10-meter radius can connect to the toys via Bluetooth as well. The figures can also be associated with other figures (from the same manufacturer) and interact with each other for an enhanced play experience.
When a child asks the toy a question, the request is sent to the cloud for analysis, and the answer is generated on cloud servers and sent back to the figure. The answer is given through the figure’s integrated speakers, making it appear as though that the toy is actually responding to the child’s question. The packaging of the toy does not provide technical details on how this works, nor does it mention that this feature requires an internet connection. The necessary data processing for this has been outsourced to a data center located in South Africa. However, your company has not yet revised its consumer-facing privacy policy to indicate this.
In parallel, the company is planning to introduce a new range of game systems through which consumers can play the characters they acquire in the course of playing the game. The system will come bundled with a portal that includes a Near-Field Communications (NFC) reader. This device will read an RFID tag in the action figure, making the figure come to life onscreen. Each character has its own stock features and abilities, but it is also possible to earn additional ones by accomplishing game goals. The only information stored in the tag relates to the figures’ abilities. It is easy to switch characters during the game, and it is possible to bring the figure to locations outside of the home and have the character’s abilities remain intact.
What presents the BIGGEST potential privacy issue with the company’s practices?

The NFC portal can read any data stored in the action figures

The information about the data processing involved has not been specified

The cloud service provider is in a country that has not been deemed adequate

The RFID tag in the action figures has the potential for misuse because of the toy’s evolving capabilities

NEW QUESTION 24

The public

Company X

Law enforcement

The supervisory authority

NEW QUESTION 26
According to the European Data Protection Board, controllers responding to a data subject access request can refuse to provide a copy of personal data under certain conditions. Which of the following is NOT one of these conditions?

If the data subject access request was sent to an employee that is not involved in the processing of such requests.

If there is such a large amount of data that the controller cannot identify the data subject of the request.

If the controller is unable to use end-to-end encrypted emails for responding to such requests.

If the personal data was processed in the past but is no longer at the controller’s disposal at the time of the request.

The right of access is one of the fundamental rights of data subjects under the GDPR. It allows data subjects to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data and certain information about the processing. The controller must provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing to the data subject, unless the data subject requests otherwise. The right of access is not absolute and may be subject to limitations, restrictions or exceptions, in accordance with the GDPR and the national laws of the member states.
The EDPB has issued draft guidelines on the right of access, which provide more detailed guidance on how to handle data subject access requests and what are the possible grounds for refusing to provide a copy of the personal data. According to the draft guidelines, the controller can refuse to provide a copy of the personal data in the following situations:
If the data subject access request was sent to an employee that is not involved in the processing of such requests. In this case, the controller must inform the data subject of the appropriate contact point for submitting the request and must not consider the request as received until it reaches the designated person or unit. This does not mean that the controller can ignore or delay the request, but rather that the controller must ensure that the request is forwarded to the responsible person or unit as soon as possible.
If there is such a large amount of data that the controller cannot identify the data subject of the request. In this case, the controller can ask the data subject to provide additional information to enable the identification of the data subject, such as a unique identifier, a reference number, a specific time period, a location or a context of the processing. The controller must not ask for more information than is necessary and must not use the information for any other purpose than verifying the identity of the data subject.
If the personal data was processed in the past but is no longer at the controller’s disposal at the time of the request. In this case, the controller must inform the data subject that the personal data are no longer available and explain the reasons why the personal data have been erased, anonymised, archived or otherwise disposed of. The controller must also provide the data subject with any relevant information about the retention period, the archiving policy, the anonymisation process or the disposal method of the personal data.
The controller cannot refuse to provide a copy of the personal data in the following situation:
If the controller is unable to use end-to-end encrypted emails for responding to such requests. In this case, the controller must still provide a copy of the personal data to the data subject, but must ensure that the communication is secure and that the personal data are protected from unauthorised or unlawful access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. The controller can use alternative means of communication, such as secure online platforms, password-protected files, encrypted devices or postal mail, depending on the preferences and circumstances of the data subject. The controller must also inform the data subject of the risks involved in the chosen communication method and obtain the data subject’s consent before sending the personal data.

NEW QUESTION 27
There are three domains of security covered by Article 32 of the GDPR that apply to both the controller and the processor. These include all of the following EXCEPT?

Consent management and withdrawal.

Incident detection and response.

Preventative security.

Remedial security.

A) Consent management and withdrawal. Comprehensive Explanation: Article 32 of the GDPR requires the controller and the processor to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of the processing. These measures should take into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, and the risks of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons. The three domains of security covered by Article 32 are:
Preventative security: This refers to the measures that aim to prevent or reduce the likelihood of security incidents, such as unauthorized or unlawful access, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction of personal data. Examples of preventative security measures include encryption, pseudonymization, access control, firewalls, antivirus software, etc.
Incident detection and response: This refers to the measures that aim to detect, analyze, contain, eradicate and recover from security incidents, as well as to notify the relevant authorities and data subjects, and to document the facts and actions taken. Examples of incident detection and response measures include security monitoring, logging, auditing, incident response plans, breach notification procedures, etc.
Remedial security: This refers to the measures that aim to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident, as well as to mitigate the adverse effects of security incidents on the data subjects. Examples of remedial security measures include backup, disaster recovery, business continuity, compensation, etc.
Consent management and withdrawal is not a domain of security covered by Article 32, but rather a requirement for the lawfulness of processing based on consent under Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 of the GDPR. Consent management and withdrawal involves obtaining, recording, updating and revoking the consent of data subjects for specific purposes of processing, as well as informing them of their right to withdraw their consent at any time. Reference: Free CIPP/E Study Guide, page 35; CIPP/E Certification, page 17; GDPR, Article 32, Article 6(1)(a), Article 7.

NEW QUESTION 28
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?

Protection of the interests of the data subjects.

Performance of a contact

Legitimate interest

Consent

According to the GDPR, legitimate interest is one of the possible legal bases for processing personal data, which means that the data controller has a valid reason to process the data that is not overridden by the interests or rights of the data subject1. The GDPR specifically mentions fraud prevention as a potential legitimate interest of the data controller, as it serves both the interests of the online shop and the data subjects who may be victims of fraud1. However, the data controller must conduct a balancing test to ensure that the legitimate interest is not outweighed by the potential harm or intrusion to the data subject’s privacy1. The data controller must also provide clear and transparent information to the data subject about the processing of their data for fraud prevention purposes, and respect their right to object to such processing1.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) Protection of the interests of the data subjects is not a legal basis for processing personal data, but rather a condition for processing special categories of personal data under Article 9 of the GDPR2. Moreover, fraud prevention does not necessarily protect the interests of the data subjects, but rather the interests of the online shop and the general public.
B) Performance of a contract is a legal basis for processing personal data that is necessary for the execution or fulfilment of a contract between the data controller and the data subject2. However, fraud prevention is not strictly necessary for the performance of a contract, as it is not directly related to the delivery of goods or services that the data subject has purchased from the online shop.
D) Consent is a legal basis for processing personal data that requires the data subject to give their informed, specific, and freely given agreement to the processing of their data for one or more purposes2. However, consent is not the most appropriate legal basis for fraud prevention, as it may not be freely given by the data subject, who may feel pressured to agree to the processing of their data in order to complete their purchase. Moreover, consent may not be reliable or effective for fraud prevention, as it can be withdrawn by the data subject at any time, or may be given by a fraudster who is not the legitimate owner of the data.

108?

Both govern international transfers of personal data

Both govern the manual processing of personal data

NEW QUESTION 32
Which of the following was the first legally binding international instrument in the area of data protection?

Convention 108.

General Data Protection Regulation.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications.

Reference:
Convention 108, also known as the “Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data” was adopted by the Council of Europe in 1981. It was the first legally binding international instrument on data protection and required signatories to take steps in their domestic legislation to apply the principles it lays down in order to ensure respect in their territory for the fundamental human rights of all individuals with regard to processing of personal data1. The Convention covers both the public and private sectors, and applies to any type of data processing, whether automated or not. The Convention also provides for the establishment of independent supervisory authorities and the facilitation of transborder data flows2.
The other options are incorrect because:
B) The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation of the European Union that came into force in 2018. It is not the first legally binding international instrument on data protection, but rather a successor of the EU Directive 95/46/EC, which was adopted in 1995 and implemented by the EU member states in their national laws3.
C) The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a resolution of the United Nations General Assembly that was adopted in 1948. It is not a legally binding international instrument, but rather a declaration of common principles and values that guide the development of human rights law. The UDHR does not explicitly mention data protection, but rather recognizes the right to privacy as a fundamental human right in Article 124.
D) The EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications (e-Privacy Directive) is a directive of the European Union that was adopted in 2002 and amended in 2009. It is not the first legally binding international instrument on data protection, but rather a specific instrument that complements the EU Directive 95/46/EC and the GDPR by providing additional rules for the protection of personal data in the context of electronic communications services5.
