Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The OECD Privacy Principles became a foundation for privacy principles and practices of countries and organizations across the globe. Established in 1980, these principles provided a comprehensive framework that has influenced many national and international privacy laws. The OECD Privacy Principles focus on critical aspects of data protection, such as collection limitation, data quality, purpose specification, use limitation, security safeguards, openness, individual participation, and accountability, forming a basis for global privacy standards (IAPP, Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) materials).
