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.

I thought the Controller had to be a legal entity, but I’m not confident if it can also be an individual.

I think the Controller is the one that decides how personal data is used, but I'm not completely sure if that's the exact wording from GDPR.

I've got this! The two steps are A and D - trying work-arounds and developing immediate controlled actions to isolate the problem. Discipline 3 is all about containing the issue, so those make the most sense.

I'm not entirely sure about this, but I believe the correct answer is that there is no central server for a blockchain, as it is a distributed network. I'll double-check the information, but I think C is the way to go.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The suspense account has a credit balance, so I need to determine which account was credited twice and make the appropriate debit and credit entries to correct it. I think I've got a handle on this.
