What are Information Society Services'? Select the INCORRECT answer

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Information society services (ISS) are defined in Article 4(25) of the UK GDPR as ''any service normally provided for remuneration, at a distance, by electronic means and at the individual request of a recipient of services''. This means that ISS are online services that are paid for, either by the user or by another source of income, such as advertising or sponsorship, and that are provided without the parties being physically present, using electronic equipment for the transmission and reception of data, and upon the request of the user. Examples of ISS include apps, programs, websites, search engines, social media platforms, online marketplaces, content streaming services, online games, and any other online services that offer goods or services to users over the internet. Therefore, options A, B and C are correct examples of ISS, as they meet the criteria of the definition. However, option D is not a correct example of ISS, as it does not involve any remuneration for the service provider. Information services provided by non-profit or government organisations with no remuneration are not considered ISS under the UK GDPR, unless they compete with other ISS on the market.Reference:

Not sure about B, can you really have a service just funded by ads?

Wait, D is surprising! Non-profits can provide info services too?

I recall something about services needing to be provided for payment, so I'm leaning towards option D being incorrect, but I'm not completely confident.

I practiced a similar question about online services, and I think option C might be the incorrect one since it specifies business-to-business, which doesn't seem like a typical information service.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option B could be tricky since it mentions advertising. Isn't that still a form of remuneration?

I think I remember that Information Society Services are usually paid services, so maybe option D is the one that doesn't fit?

This is a tricky one, but I'm going to use the process of elimination to narrow it down and make an educated guess.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Is it asking about the requirements for self-only coverage, family coverage, or both? I want to make sure I select the right option based on what the question is actually asking.
