IAPP CIPP/US Exam - Topic 7 Question 54 Discussion

Actual exam question for IAPP's CIPP/US exam

Question #: 54
Topic #: 7

SCENARIO

Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:

A US-based startup company is selling a new gaming application. One day, the CEO of the company receives an urgent letter from a prominent EU-based retail partner. Triggered by an unresolved complaint lodged by an EU resident, the letter describes an ongoing investigation by a supervisory authority into the retailer's data handling practices.

The complainant accuses the retailer of improperly disclosing her personal data, without consent, to parties in the United States. Further, the complainant accuses the EU-based retailer of failing to respond to her withdrawal of consent and request for erasure of her personal dat

a. Your organization, the US-based startup company, was never informed of this request for erasure by the EU-based retail partner. The supervisory authority investigating the complaint has threatened the suspension of data flows if the parties involved do not cooperate with the investigation. The letter closes with an urgent request: ''Please act immediately by identifying all personal data received from our company.''

This is an important partnership. Company executives know that its biggest fans come from Western Europe; and this retailer is primarily responsible for the startup's rapid market penetration.

As the Company's data privacy leader, you are sensitive to the criticality of the relationship with the retailer.

Under the GDPR, the complainant's request regarding her personal information is known as what?

I’m leaning towards "Right to Be Forgotten" since it specifically deals with erasure requests, but I could be mixing it up with another concept.

The "Right of Removal" sounds familiar, but I feel like it might not be the correct terminology. Maybe it’s more about the right to erase data?

I remember practicing a question about data rights, and I think the "Right of Access" was about seeing your data, not removing it.

I think the request for erasure is related to the "Right to Be Forgotten," but I'm not entirely sure if that's the exact term used in the GDPR.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between the Right to Be Forgotten and the Right of Rectification under GDPR. I'll need to make sure I understand the specifics of each one before answering this type of question.

Okay, I've got this. The complainant is asking for their personal data to be erased, which is the Right to Be Forgotten under GDPR. That's the correct answer here.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. The question mentions a withdrawal of consent and a request for erasure, but I'm not certain if that falls under the Right to Be Forgotten or some other GDPR right. I'll need to review the GDPR details more carefully.

I think this is a Right to Be Forgotten request under GDPR. The complainant is asking for their personal data to be erased, which is a key part of that right.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I remember security filters are used for access control, so that's one. They're also used to manage application users, right? And I think they provide some kind of risk governance, but I'm not 100% sure about that one. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking specifically about the operations the Manager faces with the Loader, so I'll need to think carefully about the relationship between those two components.

I bet the startup's CEO is wishing they could use the 'right to be forgotten' on this whole mess. Maybe they should just change their name and start over!
