[All PDPF Questions]

The Traffic Department of a city wants to know how many cars travel daily in order to plan the number of spaces needed to implement a rotating parking system.

To do this, cameras were installed at strategic points. Through image recognition software it is possible to capture the license plate and know how many cars traveled in the city. A monthly report is issued with the average number of cars present each day.

Signs and posters were spread around the city informing drivers and citizens what is the purpose of processing and that the data will be stored for up to five years, for future comparison.

What basic principle of legitimate processing of personal data is being violated in this case?

APersonal data must be kept in a way that allows the identification of data subjects for a period not longer than necessary.

BPersonal data must be processed transparently in relation to the data subject.

CPersonal data must be processed in a way that guarantees the appropriate security of personal data.

DPersonal data must be collected for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes and must not be further processed for incompatible purposes.

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.

This is a tricky one. I'm pretty sure the answer is B, but the city seems to be doing a decent job of informing the public about the data processing. Maybe they could do better with transparency, but it's not a clear violation in my opinion.
