Discuss IAPP CIPP/A Exam Topic 1 Question 37

SCENARIO -- Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:

Delilah is seeking employment in the marketing department of Good Mining Private Limited, an industry leader in drilling mines in Singapore. Delilah, while filling in the standard paper application form, is asked to provide details about emergency contacts, medical history, blood type and her insurance policy. These fields need to be filled in no matter which department Delilah applies to. The form also asks Delilah to expressly consent to the collection, use and disclosure of her personal data.

A week after submitting the form, Delilah is invited by Evan, the Director of Marketing at Good Mining, to coffee. Just before Delilah leaves, she gives her business card containing her current business contact information to Evan. Evan then uses the business card to add Delilah's details to Good Mining's business development database, which is kept on a local server. Good Mining uses the database to inform people about networking and client events that Good Mining organizes.

Why is it legal for Evan to add the information on Delilah's business card to the business development

database?

ABecause Delilah 'consented' to her business contact information being used by Good Mining by passing it to Evan voluntarily.

BBecause any business contact information can be freely used, collected or disclosed by Good Mining.

CBecause Good Mining does not export the information to a cloud vendor.

DBecause Delilah initiated the relationship with Good Mining.

Consent is key here; she initiated the contact.

Reuben 1 year ago

Totally agree, she shared it willingly!

Norah 1 year ago

Wait, can they really just use her info like that? Seems sketchy.

Ceola 1 year ago

I think any business info is fair game for use.

Filiberto 1 year ago

Delilah gave her business card, so that's consent, right?

Jenise 1 year ago

I’m a bit confused about the legalities here. I thought it was more about how the info is stored rather than who initiated the relationship.

Elliott 1 year ago

I practiced a similar question about consent and data use, and I think option D could be relevant since Delilah initiated the contact.

Vi 1 year ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option B might be too broad. There are probably rules about using business contact info.

Mable 1 year ago

I remember discussing consent in class, and I think option A makes sense since Delilah gave her info voluntarily.

Tatum 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know it has something to do with networks and administration, but I'll need to think it through a bit more.

Rashida 1 year ago

Option A sounds right to me. The different types of performance tests are based on the workload model used.

I'm going with 'A'. Delilah should have known what she was getting into when she applied for that job. Gotta read the fine print, people!

Exactly, it's important to understand what you're agreeing to when providing personal information.

I agree, Delilah gave her business card willingly so it's legal for Evan to add her information to the database.

A) Because Delilah 'consented' to her business contact information being used by Good Mining by passing it to Evan voluntarily.

Malcom 2 years ago

Haha, 'B' is a good one. Yeah, let's just assume all business contact info is free game! That would make my life a lot easier.

I'm not sure about that. Just because Delilah shared her business card doesn't mean Good Mining can do whatever they want with it. There might be privacy laws to consider.

Bettina 2 years ago

A seems like the most logical answer. Delilah voluntarily gave her business card to Evan, so it's reasonable for Good Mining to use that contact information.

Laine 2 years ago

But what about option D? Delilah did initiate the relationship with Good Mining.

Leota 2 years ago

I agree with Janine. Delilah gave her consent by giving her business card to Evan.

I think the answer is A.
