Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

The OECD Guidelines, Convention 108 and the Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC) all aimed to harmonize the national data protection laws of the member states of the European Economic Community (EEC) and to establish a common framework for the protection of personal data. However, they largely failed to achieve this goal due to several reasons, such as:
The lack of political will and commitment from the member states to implement the directives fully and consistently12. The divergent interpretations and applications of the directives by different national authorities, courts and regulators12. The emergence of new technologies and challenges that required new or updated legal solutions, such as electronic communications, cookies, biometrics, cloud computing, etc12. The influence of other regional or international initiatives that addressed some aspects of data protection differently or in conflict with the directives, such as the US Privacy Shield Framework3.

  2. Option B:
    The information requirements set out in Articles 13 and 14 
  3. Option C:
    The breach notification requirements specified in Articles 33 and 34
  4. Option D:

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D

: The Individual Participation Principle is one of the Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs) that are not part of any legal framework, but are widely adopted by many data privacy regulations in force today1. The FIPPs are a set of guidelines for fair information practices that aim to protect the privacy and security of personal information. The Individual Participation Principle holds that individuals have a number of rights, including the right to have their personal data corrected or erased, the right to access and obtain confirmation of their personal data, the right to be informed about how their personal data is used and who it is shared with, and the right to object or withdraw consent for certain purposes2. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a legal framework that implements the European Union’s (EU) Data Protection Directive and provides comprehensive protection for all individuals within the EU regarding their personal data. The GDPR grants individuals a number of rights, such as the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, object, or not be subject to automated decision making based on their personal data. These rights are similar to those under the FIPPs and can be found in Articles 12 to 22 of the GDPR.
