Yeah, I agree with that! C seems off.

Loren 11 months ago

Wait, so they can't make companies pay complainants? That's surprising!

Frederic 12 months ago

I thought they could impose fines too, but not for compensation?

Lea 12 months ago

Definitely not C! They can't order compensation.

PDPC can stop data collection, that's true.

I feel like I've seen a similar question before, and it was about the limits of their authority. I think C might be the right answer.

I'm a bit confused; I thought they could impose financial penalties, but maybe that's not the case for compensation?

Linwood 1 year ago

I remember practicing a question about the PDPC's powers, and I think they can't actually order compensation to be paid.

Gilma 1 year ago

I think the PDPC can order organizations to stop collecting data, but I'm not sure about the compensation part.

Paulina 1 year ago

I've got a good feeling about this one. The PDPC's enforcement powers seem pretty comprehensive, so I'm going to take a guess that they can't order an organization to pay compensation directly to a complainant.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The PDPC can order organizations to stop collecting data, destroy data, and pay compensation or fines. I just need to figure out which one they can't do.

Leonard 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options all seem related to the PDPC's enforcement powers, so I'll need to think carefully about which one they don't have.

This seems like a straightforward question about the powers of Singapore's PDPC. I'll need to carefully read through the options to determine which one the PDPC does not have the power to do.

Royal 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused on the difference between imputing and parsing the date columns. I'll need to review those options more closely.

I've seen questions like this before. I'm pretty sure the answer is B - the data flows directly from the source database to the target database using the Database Links.

Looks like the PDPC is all about enforcement and fines, not making organizations pay out to individuals. Good to know the limits of their authority.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question was trying to trip us up with that compensation option. Nice try, but the PDPC isn't a court!

Huey 2 years ago

I was pretty sure the PDPC couldn't order compensation, but I'm glad to have that confirmed. This is a straightforward question.
