IAPP CIPM Practice Test 10
Question 90
A privacy program manager faces this situation: A subscription service updates its privacy program and wants to describe improvements to customers. Which operational step would BEST implement the right approach? Select ONE best answer.
- Document revenue dependencies and review whether sharing aligns with published notices
- Compare service commitments with actual data lifecycle controls
- Review actual consent, sharing and support processes before publishing language
- Escalate the quantified risk and options to the authorized sponsor
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Review actual consent, sharing and support processes before publishing language is the best practical implementation step. The governing consideration is: External privacy claims create expectations that should match documented practice.
Incorrect Answers
A:Document revenue dependencies and review whether sharing aligns with published notices concerns Business model and data-dependent revenue strategy, but is not the most directly responsive practical implementation step.
