I thought D was a bit extreme, how do they even know?

Lenna 1 year ago

A is a security risk, not really privacy though.

Zack 1 year ago

Wait, can they really raise rates just from driving data?

Lino 1 year ago

I disagree, C is more about tracking than privacy risks.

Jackie 1 year ago

Definitely B, that's a real privacy issue!

I’m leaning towards option B too, but I wonder if the hackers in option A could also be considered a privacy risk since they could access personal data through IoT systems.

I think option B makes the most sense because it directly involves personal data being used against someone, which is a clear privacy issue.

I remember discussing how IoT devices can collect personal data, but I'm not sure if the insurance rates example really fits the privacy risk category.

Jesse 1 year ago

I feel like I’ve seen practice questions about cookies and privacy, but I’m not sure if that’s the same level of risk as the IoT examples.

I'm pretty confident the answer is The Cabinet. The Directive is focused on government institutions, and the Cabinet is a separate governing body, so it makes sense that it would be the exception.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on how the additional warehouses would impact inventory and transportation costs. I'll have to review my notes.

Option C seems straightforward - maintaining each hierarchy in its own version and setting the primary and shared relationships. But I'm not sure if that fully addresses the requirement of managing the properties across the hierarchies. I'll need to think through the pros and cons of each approach.
