Information Privacy Technologist CIPT Updated Exam

A jurisdiction requiring an organization to place a link on the website that allows a consumer to opt-out of sharing is an example of a technical requirement. This requirement involves implementing a specific functionality within the website’s infrastructure to enable consumers to exercise their data protection rights easily. The IAPP’s CIPT materials discuss various types of privacy requirements, highlighting that technical requirements often involve the development and deployment of specific technological solutions to meet regulatory mandates.

Public key infrastructure (PKI) relies heavily on the trustworthiness of certificate authorities (CAs). These CAs are responsible for issuing and verifying digital certificates. If a CA is compromised or disreputable, the entire PKI system's integrity can be undermined because the certificates it issues can no longer be trusted. This can lead to a range of security issues, including the potential for man-in-the-middle attacks, as malicious actors could exploit compromised certificates to impersonate legitimate entities. Thus, maintaining reputable and secure CAs is critical to the PKI system's effectiveness.

The scenario describes an ad campaign targeting a specific demographic (women in a certain age range) in the San Francisco Bay Area. This kind of targeted ad campaign can lead to "lost opportunity" as defined by Calo’s objective privacy harms. When a company narrows its candidate search to such specific criteria, it effectively excludes individuals who do not fit these criteria, thereby denying them the opportunity to apply for the positions. This kind of exclusion can be particularly harmful if the criteria are based on characteristics like gender and age, leading to potential discrimination and bias in hiring practices. According to Calo, lost opportunities due to such discriminatory targeting can result in significant privacy harm. This is further supported by IAPP's guidelines on avoiding discrimination in data practices.

Privacy by Design (PbD) principles emphasize transparency, meaning that organizations should inform individuals about their data processing practices. In this scenario, Finley Motors should have provided notice within the rental agreement about their data sharing practices with third parties like AMP Payment Resources. This transparency would ensure that Chuck was aware that his personal information could be shared for purposes such as managing infractions. According to the IAPP, incorporating such notices in agreements is a best practice for maintaining transparency and upholding data protection principles.
