What are the Nine Privacy Principles as described in DSCI Privacy Framework (DPF)?
I) Use Limitation
II) Accountability
III) Data Quality
IV) Notice
V) Preventing Harm
VI) Choice and Consent
VII) Access and Correction
VIII) Data Minimization
IX) Openness
X) Disclosure to Third Parties
XI) Right to be Forgotten
XII) Collection limitation
XIII) Security
As per the official DSCI Privacy Framework (DPF), the framework is built upon a set of nine core Privacy Principles that are foundational to establishing and assessing privacy initiatives in an organization. These principles are as follows:
Notice -- Individuals must be informed about the collection and use of their personal data.
Choice and Consent -- The data subject's choice must be respected through consent mechanisms.
Collection Limitation -- Personal data must be collected only for identified purposes.
Use Limitation -- Data should be used only for the purposes specified at the time of collection.
Data Quality -- Ensuring data is accurate, complete, and kept up-to-date.
Access and Correction -- Data subjects must have access to their data and the ability to correct it.
Security -- Adequate protection of personal data against unauthorized access and breaches.
Openness -- Organizations must be transparent about their privacy practices.
Accountability -- The entity collecting and processing data is responsible for complying with the principles.
These match exactly with the components listed in option A: I (Use Limitation), II (Accountability), III (Data Quality), IV (Notice), V (Preventing Harm---not explicitly named in DPF, hence not part of the standard nine), VI (Choice and Consent), VII (Access and Correction), VIII (Data Minimization), IX (Openness).
Hence, the correct nine principles according to DPF are exactly as listed in option A.
The method of personal data usage in which the users must explicitly decide not to participate.
The term ''Opt-out'' refers to a consent model in which individuals are automatically included in a data processing activity or program unless they explicitly indicate their desire not to participate.
Under the DSCI Privacy Framework, ''Opt-out'' is contrasted with ''Opt-in,'' where explicit affirmative consent is required before processing.
Opt-out is often implemented through mechanisms like pre-checked boxes or default settings, which the user can change. This is particularly common in direct marketing scenarios or cookies for analytics. The DAF-P considers whether such consent mechanisms align with fairness and transparency principles.
The concept of data adequacy is based on the principle of _________.
Data adequacy is a concept primarily referenced under international data transfer mechanisms, especially in GDPR and mirrored in Indian and global privacy frameworks. The idea is that a country can receive personal data from another country if it ensures an 'adequate level of protection'.
This level is determined not by exact replication of laws but by their ''Essential Equivalence'' to the originating country's standards.
The principle of ''Essential Equivalence'' means that although the laws do not have to be identical, they must offer comparable protection in practice. This is the benchmark used by authorities like the EU Commission and reflected in frameworks including DPF.
[Privacy Governance]
With respect to privacy governance, which of the following statements are correct? (Tick all that apply)
Privacy governance is about setting direction and defining roles and responsibilities across the organization for managing personal data. It:
B: Defines strategy and takes decisions on privacy-related matters
C: Enables execution of policies to handle operational privacy incidents
D: Ensures that privacy accountability is not overlooked
Option A is incorrect because governance is not limited to computer resources---it spans all organizational functions involving personal data processing .
An entity shall retain personal data only as long as may be reasonably necessary to satisfy the purpose for which it is processed; or with respect to an established retention period. This privacy principle is known as?
