[All PDPF Questions]

A controller asks a processor to produce a report containing customers who have purchased a particular product more than once in the past 6 months.

The processor provides services to several companies (which in this case are the controllers).

When generating the requested report, it uses customer data collected by another controller, that is, for a different purpose.

Fortunately, the error is noticed in time, the report is not sent, and nobody has had access to this dat

a. In this case, how does the processor need to proceed and what action should the controller take?

AThe processor notifies the Supervisory Authority that a violation has occurred. The controller will be notified and must perform a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA).

BThe processor needs to notify the controller. And the controller can assess whether there were risks to the data subjects.

CThe processor needs to notify the controller so that the controller notifies the Supervisory Authority of the personal data breach.

DAs the error was noticed in time and the report was not sent, there is no need for the processor to inform the controller. The processor must delete the wrong report and generate a new one, this time with the correct data.

Suggested Answer: D

Data protection and privacy are complementary, but not the same thing.

A very repeated phrase is: ''It is possible to have security without privacy, but it is not possible to have privacy without security''.

Privacy is a right that must be protected, and Data Protection are the measures that will be used to achieve this protection.
