[All CIPT Questions]

Which of the following occurs when an individual takes a specific observable action to indicate and confirm that they give permission for their information to be processed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Option A: Express consent occurs when an individual takes a specific, observable action, such as signing a document or clicking an 'I agree' button online, to give explicit permission for their information to be processed. This type of consent is clear and unambiguous.

Option B: Implied consent is inferred from an individual's actions, such as when they provide information voluntarily without a specific action indicating consent.

Option C: Informed notice refers to providing individuals with information about how their data will be used, but it does not itself constitute consent.

Option D: Authorized notice is not a standard term in data protection and privacy contexts.

I’m leaning towards express consent too, but I wonder if there are nuances that could make it a trick question.

I feel like express consent is the most straightforward answer here, but I could be mixing it up with informed notice.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think implied consent was mentioned as a way people can give permission without saying it outright.

I think this might be about express consent, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right term for giving permission directly.
