Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Data protection and privacy are complementary, but not the same thing.

A very repeated phrase is: ''It is possible to have security without privacy, but it is not possible to have privacy without security''.

Privacy is a right that must be protected, and Data Protection are the measures that will be used to achieve this protection.

B is the clear winner here. The GDPR is quite specific about the role of the controller in handling personal data.

Haha, C is just wrong. A controller is definitely authorized to process personal data, not the other way around!

I'm going with B as well. It aligns with the GDPR definition of a controller being the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing.

B sounds like the correct answer. A controller is the one who decides how and why personal data is processed.
