APPI covers both government and businesses using personal info.

I believe the Act is specifically for government entities, but I might be mixing it up with another regulation.

I remember a practice question that mentioned businesses using personal information, so I feel like option B could be correct too.

I think APPI mainly focuses on how government entities handle personal information, but I'm not completely sure.

I’m a bit confused about this one. I thought APPI applied to both government and businesses, but now I’m not so certain.

This is a tough one, but I feel confident I can work through it. I'll need to pay close attention to the details in the question and use my understanding of process flows to arrive at the correct answer.

Ah, I remember this from the training. The service account for a MID Server needs the "Log on as a service" right. That's the key permission it requires.

I've got it! The three correct use cases are mergers and acquisitions, initial load before central governance, and analytical purposes. I feel good about those answers.
