Actual exam question for Exin's PDPF exam

Question #: 45
Topic #: 4

[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.

You know, with all this license plate data, the city could probably start a whole new business - 'License to Thrill' limo rentals. Just saying, they might be onto something here.

Hey, at least the city is being upfront about the surveillance. Imagine if they tried to hide it and got caught - talk about a 'traffic jam' in the courts!

Hah, this is like a real-life episode of Minority Report. The city is tracking everyone's movements for the next 5 years? Sounds like a dystopian nightmare to me. I'm giving this one to D, just to be on the safe side.

I'm gonna go with A. Keeping that data for 5 years? That's a long time to identify individual drivers. I bet the city traffic cops are just looking for an excuse to pull people over. Where's the transparency in that?

Definitely D. Collecting license plate data for 5 years seems way longer than necessary to plan parking spaces. Plus, they could use that data for other, incompatible purposes down the line. Not cool, Traffic Department.

I agree, keeping the data for 5 years seems excessive.
