Exin Exam PDPF Topic 5 Question 46 Discussion

Actual exam question for Exin's PDPF exam
Question #: 46
Topic #: 5
[All PDPF Questions]

A controller discovers that a data subject, who had given consent for the processing of his data, has passed away. What this implies for data processing according to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?

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.

Ah, the GDPR - the one regulation that even the grim reaper can't escape. Looks like the controller's got a date with the digital afterlife.

Hold up, the data subject's dead and the controller's trying to keep using it? That's like grave-robbing, but with spreadsheets.

Anonymizing the data? Yeah, right, like that's going to work. The controller's gonna have to dig up the dead guy's data and get rid of it. End of story.

Anonymizing the data won't be easy, but it's necessary to comply with GDPR.

A) With the death of the data owner, the controller can continue processing the data, as they are no longer under the GDPR.

I think the correct answer is C - the consent is revoked when the person dies, so the controller has to delete the data. Anything else would be a violation of privacy, am I right?

User 2: That's correct. Processing data without consent would be a violation of privacy.

But doesn't the GDPR require respecting the consent provided by the data owner?

Wait, so the data subject died and the controller can just keep using the data? That's messed up, even if they're not under GDPR anymore.

C) The controller must delete the data of the holder, since with the death of the holder the consent is automatically revoked.
