  3. Publish a clear internal glossary and review a representative dataset
  4. Review actual consent, sharing and support processes before publishing language

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Ask marketing to demonstrate export frequency, recipients, fields and storage destinations is the best practical implementation step. The governing consideration is: An incomplete process map can conceal obligations even when no central database was purchased.

A:

Interview service owners and map both collection paths to named datasets and purposes concerns Personal information inventory from business systems, but is not the most directly responsive practical implementation step. The best selection is: Ask marketing to demonstrate export frequency, recipients, fields and storage destinations.

The case should be checked through this outcome: The private data flow is recorded with an accountable business owner.

C:

Publish a clear internal glossary and review a representative dataset concerns Common privacy vocabulary across functions, but is not the most directly responsive practical implementation step.
