Q

Describe PII controllers and PII processors!

A

PII controllers: determine the means and purposes of processing PII. Controllers must ensure that applicable laws are adhered to, and they are obliged to demonstrate compliance.
A PII processor: follows the instructions of a PII controller in order to process PII. Under many regulations, the relationship between a controller and processor requires a written contract.

Q

Describe Data minimization!

A

Data minimization is related to collection limitation but goes further, looking at the processing after the initial collection of PII. It means that the processes and systems for processing PII must limit the number of stakeholders that have access to or the ability to process data

Q

Describe Use, retention, and disclosure limitation!

A

Data must not be retained forever. This principle is about retaining data for a defined purpose, but only for as long as it is required by the organization and by law. After that period, PII should be destroyed.

Q

Describe Accuracy and quality!

A

The PII process has to be accurate and completed to a degree that it can be adequately used for the purpose defined. If PII is collected from a source that is not the PII principal, the reliability must be ensured. The accuracy and quality of the data should be checked regularly.

Q

Describe Openness, transparency, and notice!

A

This principle means that information about the processing of PII and the purposes and means for doing so should be provided to the PII principals. In the interest of transparency, this notice should be easily readable, especially if a processing activity includes decision-making based on the PII.

Q

Describe Individual participation and access!

A

Individuals have many rights, including the right to access their data, change inaccurate data, delete or lock the data, and easily assert these rights. In some legislations (e.g., GDPR and CCPA), they also have the right to portability, making the data available in an electronic, standardized form. Often CSV, JSON, or XML formats are used.

26
Q

According to Article 6 GDPR, there are exactly six reasons that make the processing of PII lawful (PrivazyPlan, 2018a). What are they?

A
  • The PII principal (data subject) has given consent.
  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
  • Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.

- Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

- Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller.

27
Q

Describe is the job of Data Protection Officer?

A

They monitor and audit the compliance with GDPR. They also give advice and handle the complaints of the PII principals.

28
Q

How is Privacy Compliance controlled?

A

Compliance to the GDPR is both self-controlled and controlled by supervisory authorities.

29
Q

State the rights of the Data Subjects!

A
  • transparency about the processing of data and the rights of the individual,
  • information and access to personal data,
  • rectification and erasure, and

- the right to object and automated individual decision-making.

30
Q

Data transfers between controllers and processors, and between controllers and controllers, require a written contract. What does it called?

A

Data Processing Agreement (DPA).

31
Q

Article 28 GDPR (PrivazyPlan, 2018c) requires eight topics to be added to the DPA. State them!

A
  1. The processor only agrees to process personal data if they have received the written instructions of the controller.
  2. Everyone who comes into contact with the data is sworn to confidentiality.

3. All appropriate technical and organizational measures are used to protect the security of the data.

  1. The processor will not subcontract to another processor unless instructed to do so in writing by the controller, in which case, another DPA will need to be signed with the sub-processor (pursuant to Sections 2 and 4 of Article 28).
  2. The processor will help the controller uphold their obligations under the GDPR, particularly concerning data subjects’ rights.
  3. The processor will help the controller maintain GDPR compliance with regard to Article 32 (security of processing) and Article 36 (consulting with the data protection authority before undertaking high-risk processing).
  4. The processor agrees to delete all personal data upon the termination of services or return the data to the controller.
  5. The processor must allow the controller to conduct an audit and will provide whatever information necessary to prove compliance.
32
Q

What safeguards needs to be in place in case of processing of data outside the EU?

A
  • Adequacy decisions: The EU Commission decides that the level of data protection in a third country is at a level that is acceptable to the EU. Current big economies that have obtained an adequacy decision are Argentina, Japan, Canada (private sector), and the United States (privacy shield).
  • EU model clauses: The model clauses or standard contractual clauses issued by the EU. If a processor or controller outside the EU signs and obeys them, the data can be transferred. This is the most common way to safeguard data transfers to third countries.
  • Binding corporate rules: An enterprise can obey binding corporate rules that have been approved by the national authorities of the country where its EU headquarters are based. If those are approved, data can flow inside this enterprise. Binding corporate rules have no impact on relationships outside of that enterprise.
33
Q

How a Data Breaches should be handled.

A

Whenever a data breach occurs, the organization has 72 hours from the time that the breach was discovered to inform the PII principals. If the risks to the rights and freedoms of the individuals is high, the authorities must also be informed about the breach.

34
