IAPP CIPM Practice Test 21
Question 200
During an organizational privacy control review, the following issue arises: A retailer proposes to reuse delivery-driver telematics for individual performance rankings. What verification outcome is MOST relevant to demonstrating success? Choose ONE.
- Held records remain protected while eligible records are defensibly destroyed
- The audit records a substantive evidence gap instead of granting an automatic pass
- A documented policy decision limits or rejects disproportionate reuse
- Exception requests identify both the local owner and group policy authority
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:A documented policy decision limits or rejects disproportionate reuse is the best observable verification result. The governing consideration is: A technically lawful processing activity can still breach organizational trust and ethical principles.
Incorrect Answers
A:Held records remain protected while eligible records are defensibly destroyed concerns Retention schedules and defensible disposal, but is not the most directly responsive observable verification result.
