Which of the following conflicts with the principle of limiting the purposes?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The principle of limitation of purposes says that personal data must be collected for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes and cannot be further processed in a way incompatible with those purposes.

When the data is sold to another company, we can conclude that it was acquired by a controller for a specific purpose and that it subsequently sold it without the owner's knowledge and consent.

I have a hunch that option C could be problematic too, since storing data in a way that identifies individuals might go against limiting purposes.

I practiced a similar question where adapting data for treatment was acceptable, so I feel like option B is safe.

This is a tricky one, but I'm leaning towards A and C as the answers that conflict with purpose limitation. Gotta be really mindful of how the data is handled.

I think the key here is making sure the data is only used for the original, specified purposes. A and D seem to violate that, so I'll go with those.
