Please use the following to answer the next question:
The fitness company Vigotron has recently developed a new app called M-Health, which it wants to market on its website as a free download. Vigotron’s marketing manager asks his assistant Emily to create a webpage that describes the app and specifies the terms of use. Emily, who is new at Vigotron, is excited about this task. At her previous job she took a data protection class, and though the details are a little hazy, she recognizes that Vigotron is going to need to obtain user consent for use of the app in some cases. Emily sketches out the following draft, trying to cover as much as possible before sending it to Vigotron’s legal department.

NEW QUESTION 137
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
ProStorage is a multinational cloud storage provider headquartered in the Netherlands. Its CEO. Ruth Brown, has developed a two-pronged strategy for growth: 1) expand ProStorage s global customer base and 2) increase ProStorage’s sales force by efficiently onboarding effective teams. Enacting this strategy has recently been complicated by Ruth’s health condition, which has limited her working hours, as well as her ability to travel to meet potential customers. ProStorage’s Human Resources department and Ruth’s Chief of Staff now work together to manage her schedule and ensure that she is able to make all her medical appointments The latter has become especially crucial after Ruth’s last trip to India, where she suffered a medical emergency and was hospitalized m New Delhi Unable to reach Ruths family, the hospital reached out to ProStorage and was able to connect with her Chief of Staff, who in coordination with Mary, the head of HR. provided information to the doctors based on accommodate on requests Ruth made when she started a: ProStorage In support of Ruth’s strategic goals of hiring more sales representatives, the Human Resources team is focused on improving its processes to ensure that new employees are sourced, interviewed, hired, and onboarded efficiently. To help with this, Mary identified two vendors, HRYourWay, a German based company, and InstaHR, an Australian based company. She decided to have both vendors go through ProStorage’s vendor risk review process so she can work with Ruth to make the final decision. As part of the review process, Jackie, who is responsible for maintaining ProStorage’s privacy program (including maintaining controller BCRs and conducting vendor risk assessments), reviewed both vendors but completed a transfer impact assessment only for InstaHR. After her review of both boasted a more established privacy program and provided third-party attestations, whereas HRYourWay was a small vendor with minimal data protection operations.
Thus, she recommended InstaHR.
ProStorage’s marketing team also worked to meet the strategic goals of the company by focusing on industries where it needed to grow its market share. To help with this, the team selected as a partner UpFinance, a US based company with deep connections to financial industry customers. During ProStorage’s diligence process, Jackie from the privacy team noted in the transfer impact assessment that UpFinance implements several data protection measures including end-to-end encryption, with encryption keys held by the customer.
Notably, UpFinance has not received any government requests in its 7 years of business. Still, Jackie recommended that the contract require UpFinance to notify ProStorage if it receives a government request for personal data UpFinance processes on its behalf prior to disclosing such data.
What transfer mechanism did ProStorage most likely rely on to transfer Ruth’s medical information to the hospital?

Ruth’s implied consent.

Protecting the vital interest of Ruth

Performance of a contract with Ruth.

Protecting against legal liability from Ruth.

According to Article 49 of the GDPR, transfers of personal data to third countries or international organisations may take place in the absence of an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses or binding corporate rules, only if one of the derogations listed in that article applies1. One of the derogations is when the transfer is necessary for the protection of the vital interests of the data subject or of other persons, where the data subject is physically or legally incapable of giving consent1. This derogation is intended to cover only urgent situations, such as medical emergencies, where the transfer is essential for the data subject’s life or health2.
In this scenario, ProStorage most likely relied on this derogation to transfer Ruth’s medical information to the hospital in India, where she suffered a medical emergency and was hospitalized. The transfer was necessary for the protection of Ruth’s vital interests, as she was in a critical condition and needed urgent medical care. Ruth was also physically or legally incapable of giving consent, as she was unconscious or incapacitated. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
Option A is incorrect because Ruth’s implied consent is not a valid transfer mechanism under the GDPR. Consent must be explicit, informed, specific, and freely given for the transfer of personal data to third countries or international organisations1. Ruth did not give any explicit consent for the transfer of her medical information to the hospital, nor was she informed or asked about it. Moreover, consent cannot be relied on as a transfer mechanism when the data subject is in a situation of distress or dependence, such as a medical emergency, as it would not be considered freely given2.
Option C is incorrect because the performance of a contract with Ruth is not a valid transfer mechanism under the GDPR. The transfer of personal data to third countries or international organisations on the basis of a contract with the data subject is only allowed if the transfer is necessary for the performance of that contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request1. In this scenario, there is no contract between ProStorage and Ruth that requires or justifies the transfer of her medical information to the hospital. The transfer is not necessary for the performance of Ruth’s employment contract with ProStorage, nor for any pre-contractual measures taken by Ruth.
Option D is incorrect because the protection against legal liability from Ruth is not a valid transfer mechanism under the GDPR. The transfer of personal data to third countries or international organisations on the grounds of legal claims or defence is only allowed if the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims1. In this scenario, there is no legal claim or defence involved in the transfer of Ruth’s medical information to the hospital. The transfer is not necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of any legal claim by or against ProStorage or Ruth.

NEW QUESTION 140
Under the GDPR, who would be LEAST likely to be allowed to engage in the collection, use, and disclosure of a data subject’s sensitive medical information without the data subject’s knowledge or consent?

A member of the judiciary involved in adjudicating a legal dispute involving the data subject and concerning the health of the data subject.

A public authority responsible for public health, where the sharing of such information is considered necessary for the protection of the general populace.

A health professional involved in the medical care for the data subject, where the data subject’s life hinges on the timely dissemination of such information.

A journalist writing an article relating to the medical condition in QUESTION, who believes that the publication of such information is in the public interest.

The GDPR defines data concerning health as a special category of personal data that is subject to specific processing conditions and safeguards. The GDPR prohibits the processing of such data unless one of the exceptions in Article 9 applies. One of these exceptions is the explicit consent of the data subject, which means that the data subject has given a clear and affirmative indication of their agreement to the processing of their health data. Another exception is when the processing is necessary for reasons of public interest in the area of public health, such as protecting against serious cross-border threats to health or ensuring high standards of quality and safety of health care. A third exception is when the processing is necessary for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the working capacity of the employee, medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment or the management of health or social care systems and services. These exceptions are based on the principle of necessity, which means that the processing must be strictly necessary for a specific purpose and cannot be achieved by other means.
In the given scenario, the journalist does not fall under any of these exceptions. The journalist is not a health professional, a public authority, or a person who has obtained the explicit consent of the data subject. The journalist is not processing the data for any legitimate purpose related to public health, medical care, or social protection. The journalist is merely pursuing their own interest in publishing a story that may or may not be in the public interest. The journalist is not respecting the data subject’s rights and freedoms, especially their right to privacy and confidentiality. Therefore, the journalist would be least likely to be allowed to engage in the collection, use, and disclosure of the data subject’s sensitive medical information without their knowledge or consent.

NEW QUESTION 142

She first considers whether Company A needs to carry out a data protection impact assessment in relation to the new time and attendance system, but isn’t sure whether or not this is required.
Jenny does know, however, that under the GDPR there must be a formal written agreement requiring Company B to use the time and attendance data only for the purpose of providing the payroll service, and to apply appropriate technical and organizational security measures for safeguarding the data. Jenny suggests that Company B obtain advice from its data protection officer. The company doesn’t have a DPO but agrees, in the interest of finalizing the contract, to sign up for the provisions in full. Company A enters into the contract.
Weeks later, while still under contract with Company A, Company B embarks upon a separate project meant to enhance the functionality of its payroll service, and engages Company C to help. Company C agrees to extract all personal data from Company B’s live systems in order to create a new database for Company

This database will be stored in a test environment hosted on Company C’s U.S. server. The two companies agree not to include any data processing provisions in their services agreement, as data is only being used for IT testing purposes.
Unfortunately, Company C’s U.S. server is only protected by an outdated IT security system, and suffers a cyber security incident soon after Company C begins work on the project. As a result, data relating to Company A’s employees is visible to anyone visiting Company C’s website. Company A is unaware of this until Jenny receives a letter from the supervisory authority in connection with the investigation that ensues. As soon as Jenny is made aware of the breach, she notifies all affected employees.
Under the GDPR, which of Company B’s actions would NOT be likely to trigger a potential enforcement action?

Their omission of data protection provisions in their contract with Company C.

Their failure to provide sufficient security safeguards to Company A’s data.

Their engagement of Company C to improve their payroll service.

Their decision to operate without a data protection officer.

NEW QUESTION 143
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Anna and Frank both work at Granchester University. Anna is a lawyer responsible for data protection, while Frank is a lecturer in the engineering department. The University maintains a number of types of records:
* Student records, including names, student numbers, home addresses, pre-university information, university attendance and performance records, details of special educational needs and financial information.
* Staff records, including autobiographical materials (such as curricula, professional contact files, student evaluations and other relevant teaching files).
* Alumni records, including birthplaces, years of birth, dates of matriculation and conferrals of degrees.
These records are available to former students after registering through Granchester’s Alumni portal.
* Department for Education records, showing how certain demographic groups (such as first-generation students) could be expected, on average, to progress. These records do not contain names or identification numbers.
* Under their security policy, the University encrypts all of its personal data records in transit and at rest.
In order to improve his teaching, Frank wants to investigate how his engineering students perform in relational to Department for Education expectations. He has attended one of Anna’s data protection training courses and knows that he should use no more personal data than necessary to accomplish his goal. He creates a program that will only export some student data: previous schools attended, grades originally obtained, grades currently obtained and first time university attended. He wants to keep the records at the individual student level.
Mindful of Anna’s training, Frank runs the student numbers through an algorithm to transform them into different reference numbers. He uses the same algorithm on each occasion so that he can update each record over time.
One of Anna’s tasks is to complete the record of processing activities, as required by the GDPR. After receiving her email reminder, as required by the GDPR. After receiving her email reminder, Frank informs Anna about his performance database.
Ann explains to Frank that, as well as minimizing personal data, the University has to check that this new use of existing data is permissible. She also suspects that, under the GDPR, a risk analysis may have to be carried out before the data processing can take place. Anna arranges to discuss this further with Frank after she has done some additional research.
Frank wants to be able to work on his analysis in his spare time, so he transfers it to his home laptop (which is not encrypted). Unfortunately, when Frank takes the laptop into the University he loses it on the train. Frank has to see Anna that day to discuss compatible processing. He knows that he needs to report security incidents, so he decides to tell Anna about his lost laptop at the same time.
Anna will find that a risk analysis is NOT necessary in this situation as long as?

The data subjects are no longer current students of Frank’s

The processing will not negatively affect the rights of the data subjects

The algorithms that Frank uses for the processing are technologically sound

The data subjects gave their unambiguous consent for the original processing

NEW QUESTION 144
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Joe started the Gummy Bear Company in 2000 from his home in Vermont, USA. Today, it is a multi-billion-dollar candy company operating in every continent. All of the company’s IT servers are located in Vermont. This year Joe hires his son Ben to join the company and head up Project Big, which is a major marketing strategy to triple gross revenue in just 5 years. Ben graduated with a PhD in computer software from a top university. Ben decided to join his father’s company, but is also secretly working on launching a new global online dating website company called Ben Knows Best.
Ben is aware that the Gummy Bear Company has millions of customers and believes that many of them might also be interested in finding their perfect match. For Project Big, Ben redesigns the company’s online web portal and requires customers in the European Union and elsewhere to provide additional personal information in order to remain a customer. Project Ben begins collecting data about customers’ philosophical beliefs, political opinions and marital status.
If a customer identifies as single, Ben then copies all of that customer’s personal data onto a separate database for Ben Knows Best. Ben believes that he is not doing anything wrong, because he explicitly asks each customer to give their consent by requiring them to check a box before accepting their information. As Project Big is an important project, the company also hires a first year college student named Sam, who is studying computer science to help Ben out.
Ben calls out and Sam comes across the Ben Knows Best database. Sam is planning on going to Ireland over Spring Beak with 10 of his friends, so he copies all of the customer information of people that reside in Ireland so that he and his friends can contact people when they are in Ireland.
Joe also hires his best friend’s daughter, Alice, who just graduated from law school in the U.S., to be the company’s new General Counsel. Alice has heard about the GDPR, so she does some research on it. Alice approaches Joe and informs him that she has drafted up Binding Corporate Rules for everyone in the company to follow, as it is important for the company to have in place a legal mechanism to transfer data internally from the company’s operations in the European Union to the U.S.
Joe believes that Alice is doing a great job, and informs her that she will also be in-charge of handling a major lawsuit that has been brought against the company in federal court in the U.S. To prepare for the lawsuit, Alice instructs the company’s IT department to make copies of the computer hard drives from the entire global sales team, including the European Union, and send everything to her so that she can review everyone’s information. Alice believes that Joe will be happy that she did the first level review, as it will save the company a lot of money that would otherwise be paid to its outside law firm.
Ben’s collection of additional data from customers created several potential issues for the company, which would most likely require what?

New corporate governance and code of conduct.

A data protection impact assessment.

A comprehensive data inventory.

Hiring a data protection officer.

Ben’s collection of additional data from customers, especially sensitive data such as philosophical beliefs and political opinions, created several potential issues for the company, such as:
The risk of violating the data minimization principle, which requires that personal data collected must be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes of the processing1.
The risk of infringing the rights and freedoms of the data subjects, who may not be aware of or consent to the secondary use of their data by Ben Knows Best, or the unauthorized access and copying of their data by Sam.
The risk of non-compliance with the GDPR’s requirements for processing special categories of data, which include data revealing philosophical beliefs and political opinions. Such data can only be processed under certain conditions, such as explicit consent, substantial public interest, or legal claims2.
The risk of data breaches or losses, as the data is transferred to a separate database, copied by Sam, and stored on the company’s servers in Vermont, which may not have adequate security measures or safeguards.
Therefore, the company would most likely require a data protection impact assessment (DPIA) to identify and mitigate these risks. A DPIA is a process that helps assess the impact of the envisaged processing operations on the protection of personal data, and consult with the supervisory authority if the DPIA indicates that the processing would result in a high risk in the absence of measures taken by the controller to mitigate the risk3. The other options are not necessarily required by the GDPR, although they may be good practices or contractual terms. Reference:

NEW QUESTION 145
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
TripBliss Inc. is a travel service company which has lost substantial revenue over the last few years. Their new manager, Oliver, suspects that this is partly due to the company’s outdated website. After doing some research, he meets with a sales representative from the up-and-coming IT company Techiva, hoping that they can design a new, cutting-edge website for TripBliss Inc.’s foundering business.
During negotiations, a Techiva representative describes a plan for gathering more customer information through detailed questionnaires, which could be used to tailor their preferences to specific travel destinations.
TripBliss Inc. can choose any number of data categories – age, income, ethnicity – that would help them best accomplish their goals. Oliver loves this idea, but would also like to have some way of gauging how successful this approach is, especially since the questionnaires will require customers to provide explicit consent to having their data collected. The Techiva representative suggests that they also run a program to analyze the new website’s traffic, in order to get a better understanding of how customers are using it. He explains his plan to place a number of cookies on customer devices. The cookies will allow the company to collect IP addresses and other information, such as the sites from which the customers came, how much time they spend on the TripBliss Inc. website, and which pages on the site they visit. All of this information will be compiled in log files, which Techiva will analyze by means of a special program. TripBliss Inc. would receive aggregate statistics to help them evaluate the website’s effectiveness. Oliver enthusiastically engages Techiva for these services.
Techiva assigns the analytics portion of the project to longtime account manager Leon Santos. As is standard practice, Leon is given administrator rights to TripBliss Inc.’s website, and can authorize access to the log files gathered from it. Unfortunately for TripBliss Inc., however, Leon is taking on this new project at a time when his dissatisfaction with Techiva is at a high point. In order to take revenge for what he feels has been unfair treatment at the hands of the company, Leon asks his friend Fred, a hobby hacker, for help. Together they come up with the following plan: Fred will hack into Techiva’s system and copy their log files onto a USB stick.
Despite his initial intention to send the USB to the press and to the data protection authority in order to denounce Techiva, Leon experiences a crisis of conscience and ends up reconsidering his plan. He decides instead to securely wipe all the data from the USB stick and inform his manager that the company’s system of access control must be reconsidered.
If TripBliss Inc. decides not to report the incident to the supervisory authority, what would be their BEST defense?

The resulting obligation to notify data subjects would involve disproportionate effort.

The incident resulted from the actions of a third-party that were beyond their control.

The destruction of the stolen data makes any risk to the affected data subjects unlikely.

The sensitivity of the categories of data involved in the incident was not substantial enough.

NEW QUESTION 146
In the Planet 49 case, what was the man judgement of the Coon of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) regarding the issue of cookies?

If the cookies do not track personal data, then pre-checked boxes are acceptable.

If the ePrivacy Directive requires consent for cookies, then the GDPR’s consent requirements apply.

If a website’s cookie notice makes clear the information gathered and the lifespan of the cookie, then pre-checked boxes are acceptable.

If a data subject continues to scroll through a website after reading a cookie banner, this activity constitutes valid consent for the tracking described in the cookie banner.

NEW QUESTION 147
What is the consequence if a processor makes an independent decision regarding the purposes and means of processing it carries out on behalf of a controller?

The controller will be liable to pay an administrative fine

The processor will be liable to pay compensation to affected data subjects

The processor will be considered to be a controller in respect of the processing concerned

The controller will be required to demonstrate that the unauthorized processing negatively affected one or more of the parties involved

NEW QUESTION 149
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
You have just been hired by a toy manufacturer based in Hong Kong. The company sells a broad range of dolls, action figures and plush toys that can be found internationally in a wide variety of retail stores. Although the manufacturer has no offices outside Hong Kong and in fact does not employ any staff outside Hong Kong, it has entered into a number of local distribution contracts. The toys produced by the company can be found in all popular toy stores throughout Europe, the United States and Asi a. A large portion of the company’s revenue is due to international sales.
The company now wishes to launch a new range of connected toys, ones that can talk and interact with children. The CEO of the company is touting these toys as the next big thing, due to the increased possibilities offered: The figures can answer children’s Questions: on various subjects, such as mathematical calculations or the weather. Each figure is equipped with a microphone and speaker and can connect to any smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Any mobile device within a 10-meter radius can connect to the toys via Bluetooth as well. The figures can also be associated with other figures (from the same manufacturer) and interact with each other for an enhanced play experience.
When a child asks the toy a QUESTION, the request is sent to the cloud for analysis, and the answer is generated on cloud servers and sent back to the figure. The answer is given through the figure’s integrated speakers, making it appear as though that the toy is actually responding to the child’s QUESTION. The packaging of the toy does not provide technical details on how this works, nor does it mention that this feature requires an internet connection. The necessary data processing for this has been outsourced to a data center located in South Africa. However, your company has not yet revised its consumer-facing privacy policy to indicate this.
In parallel, the company is planning to introduce a new range of game systems through which consumers can play the characters they acquire in the course of playing the game. The system will come bundled with a portal that includes a Near-Field Communications (NFC) reader. This device will read an RFID tag in the action figure, making the figure come to life onscreen. Each character has its own stock features and abilities, but it is also possible to earn additional ones by accomplishing game goals. The only information stored in the tag relates to the figures’ abilities. It is easy to switch characters during the game, and it is possible to bring the figure to locations outside of the home and have the character’s abilities remain intact.
In light of the requirements of Article 32 of the GDPR (related to the Security of Processing), which practice should the company institute?

Encrypt the data in transit over the wireless Bluetooth connection.

Include dual-factor authentication before each use by a child in order to ensure a minimum amount of security.

Include three-factor authentication before each use by a child in order to ensure the best level of security possible.

Insert contractual clauses into the contract between the toy manufacturer and the cloud service provider, since South Africa is outside the European Union.

According to Article 32 of the GDPR, the controller and the processor must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing personal data, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons. The GDPR also provides some examples of such measures, including the pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data, the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services, the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident, and a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.
In this scenario, the company is processing personal data of children, such as their voice, questions, preferences, and location, through the connected toys that use a wireless Bluetooth connection to communicate with smartphones, tablets, cloud servers, and other toys. This poses a high risk to the security of the data, as Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology that can be easily intercepted, hacked, or compromised by malicious actors. Therefore, the company should encrypt the data in transit over the Bluetooth connection, to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration of the data. Encryption is a process of transforming data into an unreadable form, using a secret key or algorithm, that can only be reversed by authorized parties who have the corresponding key or algorithm. Encryption can protect the data from being accessed or modified by anyone who does not have the key or algorithm, thus ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of the data.
The other options are incorrect because:
B) Including dual-factor authentication before each use by a child in order to ensure a minimum amount of security is not a sufficient measure to protect the data in transit over the Bluetooth connection. Dual-factor authentication is a process of verifying the identity of a user by requiring two pieces of evidence, such as a password and a code sent to a phone or email. While this may enhance the security of the user’s account or device, it does not protect the data that is transmitted over the wireless connection, which can still be intercepted, hacked, or compromised by malicious actors. Moreover, dual-factor authentication may not be suitable or convenient for children, who may not have access to a phone or email, or who may forget their passwords or codes.
C) Including three-factor authentication before each use by a child in order to ensure the best level of security possible is not a necessary or proportionate measure to protect the data in transit over the Bluetooth connection. Three-factor authentication is a process of verifying the identity of a user by requiring three pieces of evidence, such as a password, a code sent to a phone or email, and a biometric feature, such as a fingerprint or a face scan. While this may provide a high level of security for the user’s account or device, it does not protect the data that is transmitted over the wireless connection, which can still be intercepted, hacked, or compromised by malicious actors. Furthermore, three-factor authentication may not be appropriate or feasible for children, who may not have access to a phone or email, or who may not have reliable biometric features, or who may find the process too complex or cumbersome.
D) Inserting contractual clauses into the contract between the toy manufacturer and the cloud service provider, since South Africa is outside the European Union, is not a relevant measure to protect the data in transit over the Bluetooth connection. Contractual clauses are legal agreements that specify the obligations and responsibilities of the parties involved in a data transfer, such as the level of data protection, the rights of data subjects, and the remedies for breaches. While contractual clauses may be necessary to ensure the compliance of the data transfer to South Africa, which is a non-EU country that does not have an adequacy decision from the European Commission, they do not address the security of the data that is transmitted over the wireless connection, which can still be intercepted, hacked, or compromised by malicious actors. Moreover, contractual clauses are not a technical or organisational measure, but a legal measure, that falls under a different provision of the GDPR, namely Article 46.

NEW QUESTION 151
Article 5(1)(b) of the GDPR states that personal data must be “collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a way incompatible with those purposes.” Based on Article 5(1)(b), what is the impact of a member state’s interpretation of the word “incompatible”?

It dictates the level of security a processor must follow when using and storing personal data for two different purposes.

It guides the courts on the severity of the consequences for those who are convicted of the intentional misuse of personal data.

It sets the standard for the level of detail a controller must record when documenting the purpose for collecting personal data.

It indicates the degree of flexibility a controller has in using personal data in ways that may vary from its original intended purpose.

NEW QUESTION 152
An employee of company ABCD has just noticed a memory stick containing records of client data, including their names, addresses and full contact details has disappeared. The data on the stick is unencrypted and in clear text. It is uncertain what has happened to the stick at this stage, but it likely was lost during the travel of an employee. What should the company do?

Notify as soon as possible the data protection supervisory authority that a data breach may have taken place.

Launch an investigation and if nothing is found within one month, notify the data protection supervisory authority.

Invoke the “disproportionate effort” exception under Article 33 to postpone notifying data subjects until more information can be gathered.

Immediately notify all the customers of the company that their information has been accessed by an unauthorized person.

The GDPR requires that in the case of a personal data breach, the controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority competent in accordance with Article 55, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons1. A personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed2. In this scenario, the company ABCD is the controller of the client data, and the loss of the memory stick containing unencrypted and clear text personal data is a personal data breach that may pose a risk to the rights and freedoms of the data subjects, such as identity theft, fraud, financial loss, or reputational damage. Therefore, the company ABCD should notify the data protection supervisory authority as soon as possible, and provide the information specified in Article 33(3) of the GDPR, such as the nature of the breach, the categories and number of data subjects and personal data records concerned, the likely consequences of the breach, and the measures taken or proposed to address the breach1. Option A is the correct answer, as it reflects the obligation of the controller under the GDPR. Options B, C and D are incorrect, as they do not comply with the GDPR requirements. Option B would delay the notification beyond the 72-hour deadline, which could result in administrative fines or other sanctions3. Option C would misuse the “disproportionate effort” exception, which only applies to the communication of the breach to the data subjects, not to the notification to the supervisory authority, and only when the controller has implemented appropriate technical and organisational protection measures, such as encryption, that render the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorised to access it4. Option D would prematurely notify the customers of the company without first notifying the supervisory authority, and without assessing the level of risk and the necessity of such communication, which should be done in consultation with the supervisory authority5. Reference: 1: Article 33(1) of the GDPR 2: Article 4(12) of the GDPR 3: Article 83(4)(a) of the GDPR 4: Article 34(3)(a) of the GDPR 5: Article 34(1) and (2) of the GDPR
