Exin PDPF Exam - Topic 5 Question 33 Discussion

Actual exam question for Exin's PDPF exam
Question #: 33
Topic #: 5
[All PDPF Questions]

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) allows processing of personal data only for purposes explicitly permitted by law. A tax advisor wants to file income tax returns for a neighbor.

Which of the legitimate grounds in the GDPR applies?

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

I'm not sure about B, seems too vague for legal obligations.

C doesn't apply here, it's not personal or household.

I practiced a similar question where legal obligations were the key. I lean towards option B, but I’m still a bit uncertain.

I feel like option C is too vague for this situation. Filing taxes seems more formal than just a household activity.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about consent being important. Could option A be valid if the neighbor agreed?

This is a good test of our medication knowledge. I'll review the options and try to eliminate the ones that don't fit the criteria.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to create Vulnerability Groups to more easily manage the large sets of Vulnerable items. That way, I can group similar vulnerabilities together and apply actions or settings to the whole group instead of individually.

Wait, my neighbor's a tax advisor? Lucky duck. I wish I could just hand off my returns to them. Although, maybe I should double-check they're following the GDPR - don't want any surprises from the data protection authorities!

Ah, the joys of data protection regulations. At least it's not as complicated as filing my own taxes - that's what I've got an advisor for! As long as they pick the right GDPR ground, I'm happy.

B) Processing of the personal data is permitted because this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.

I was leaning towards A, but now I'm reconsidering. The GDPR is pretty strict about legal grounds for processing, so B does seem like the safest option here. Can't go wrong with following the law!

Hmm, I'm not sure. The data subject is a neighbor, so I wonder if C could apply since this could be considered a personal or household activity. But I suppose the tax filing part makes it more of a professional obligation.

I think the correct answer is B. The tax advisor is processing the personal data to comply with their legal obligation to file tax returns, so that seems like the most applicable legitimate ground under the GDPR.
