[All PDPF Questions]

According to the GDPR, in what situation must data subjects always be notified of a personal data breach?

AWhen personal data is processed at a facility of the processor that is not located within the borders of the EEA

BWhen personal data is processed by a party that agreed to the draft processing contract but has not yet signed it

CWhen the system on which the personal data is processed is attacked causing damage to its storage devices

DWhen there is a significant probability that the breach will lead to a high risk for the privacy of the data subjects

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.

Hmm, I wasn't sure at first, but D makes the most sense. Notification is all about protecting the data subjects, so that's the one that aligns with the GDPR's goals.

Haha, these GDPR questions can really trip you up if you're not careful! I'm glad D is the right answer - gotta love those high-risk privacy breaches.

I was a bit confused at first, but after reading through the options, D is definitely the correct answer. Notification is required when the breach is likely to result in a high risk to individuals.
