CIPT Privacy by Design and Engineering 1

Question 1

Which of Ann Cavoukian's seven foundational principles of Privacy by Design states that privacy should be the default setting?

Accepted Answer

Privacy as the Default Setting

Answer

Privacy as the Default Setting means users automatically receive maximum privacy without any required action on their part.

Question 2

In Privacy by Design, what does the principle 'Proactive not Reactive' mean?

Accepted Answer

Anticipate and prevent privacy-invasive events before they occur

Answer

Proactive not Reactive means privacy is built in from the start, preventing incidents rather than remedying them after the fact.

Question 3

Which Privacy by Design principle ensures that privacy coexists with other legitimate system goals without trade-offs?

Accepted Answer

Full Functionality — Positive-Sum, not Zero-Sum

Answer

Full Functionality rejects the notion that privacy must be sacrificed for functionality, seeking a win-win outcome instead.

Question 4

A development team uses data minimization during system design so that only necessary personal data fields are collected. Which Privacy by Design principle does this best reflect?

Accepted Answer

Privacy Embedded into Design

Answer

Privacy Embedded into Design requires integrating privacy controls — including data minimization — directly into the architecture of systems.

Question 5

What does 'End-to-End Security — Full Lifecycle Protection' require in Privacy by Design?

Accepted Answer

Secure retention and deletion of data throughout its entire lifecycle

Answer

End-to-End Security means strong security measures protect data from collection through secure destruction at the end of its lifecycle.
