Everyone in an organization has a role to play in protecting the personal information an organization collects, uses and discloses. Management needs to approve funding to resource and equip the privacy team, fund important privacy enhancing resources and technologies, support privacy initiatives such as training and awareness, and hold employees accountable for following privacy policies and procedures. Sales personnel must secure business contact data and respect the choices of these individuals. Developers and engineers must incorporate effective security controls, build safe websites, and create solutions that require the collection or use of only the data necessary to accomplish the purpose.

A. after the privacy team has established its agenda B. during the data inventory C. during the review of written policies D. during the business case - Answer- Many organizations create a privacy committee or council composed of the stakeholders (or representatives of functions) that were identified at the start of the privacy program implementation process.

A. incident response protocol B. types of privacy-related information C. international transfers D. the format of the information - Answer- Questions can be used to determine the data assets of an organization. They should be specific to the organization's line of business and may be organized around the data lifecycle—collection, usage, transfers, retention and destruction. Internal policies and procedures, laws, regulations and standards may also be used to compose the questions. Based on these aspects, the data inventory offers a good starting point for the privacy team to prioritize resources, efforts, risk assessments and current policy in response to incidents. A data inventory should include the items in Table 4-1 [See Table 4-1]: Privacy Program Management, pg. 66 Where should an organization's procedures for resolving consumer complaints about privacy protection be found?

The privacy policy also supports a variety of documents, communicated internally and externally, that (a) explain to customers how the organization handles their personal information, (b) explain to employees how the organization handles personal information, (c) describe steps for employees handling personal information, and (d) outline how personal data will be processed. Privacy Program Management, pg.90 Acme Co. wants to develop a new mobile application that will allow users to find friends by continuously tracking the locations of the devices on which the application is installed. Which one of the following should Acme Co. do before developing the application to minimize its privacy risks? A. Determine whether Acme Co.'s employees have been made aware of any data breaches on their endpoint devices. B. Test the accuracy of the continuous location mechanism. C. Calculate the ROI. D. Conduct a PIA or DPIA. - Answer- A PIA is an analysis of the privacy risks associated with processing personal information in relation to a project, product or service. To be an effective tool, a PIA also should suggest or provide remedial actions or mitigations necessary to avoid, reduce or minimize those risks. Requirements regarding PIAs emanate from industry codes, organizational policy, laws, regulations and supervisory authorities. When an organization collects, stores or uses personal data, the individuals whose data is being processed are exposed to risks. These risks range from personal data being stolen or inadvertently released and used by criminals to impersonate the individual, to causing individuals to worry that their data will be used by the organization for unknown purposes. A DPIA describes a process designed to identify risks arising out of the processing of personal data and to minimize these risks as much and as early as possible. DPIAs are important tools for negating risk and for demonstrating compliance with the GDPR. Privacy Program Management, pgs.69-78 Who are considered a primary audience for metrics data?
