Question No. 1

An organization conducts body temperature checks as a part of COVID-19 monitoring. Body temperature is measured manually and is not followed by registration, documentation or other processing of an individual's personal data.

Which of the following best explain why this practice would NOT be subject to the GDPR?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

According to the GDPR, personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person1.Body temperature is a type of personal data that can reveal information about an individual's health and therefore constitutes special category data under Article 9 of the GDPR2. However, not every activity involving personal data falls within the scope of the GDPR.The GDPR applies only to the processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means or to the processing other than by automated means of personal data which form part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system3.

In this scenario, the organization conducts body temperature checks as a part of COVID-19 monitoring. Body temperature is measured manually and is not followed by registration, documentation or other processing of an individual's personal data. This means that the organization does not use any automated means to collect, store, or process the body temperature data, nor does it create or intend to create a filing system that contains such data. Therefore, this practice does not involve any processing of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR and is not subject to its rules and obligations.

The other options are incorrect because:

A .Body temperature is considered personal data, as it can be linked to an identifiable natural person and reveal information about their health2.

C .Body temperature is not considered pseudonymous data, as it is not processed in a way that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information4.

D .The practice is not for the purpose of alleviating extreme risks to public health, as it is not based on any legal obligation, public interest, or vital interest that would justify the processing of special category data under Article 9 of the GDPR5.


Question No. 2

SCENARIO

Please use the following to answer the next question:

Javier is a member of the fitness club EVERFIT. This company has branches in many EU member states, but for the purposes of the GDPR maintains its primary establishment in France. Javier lives in Newry, Northern Ireland (part of the U.K.), and commutes across the border to work in Dundalk, Ireland. Two years ago while on a business trip, Javier was photographed while working out at a branch of EVERFIT in Frankfurt, Germany. At the time, Javier gave his consent to being included in the photograph, since he was told that it would be used for promotional purposes only. Since then, the photograph has been used in the club's U.K. brochures, and it features in the landing page of its U.K. website. However, the fitness club has recently fallen into disrepute due to widespread mistreatment of members at various branches of the club in several EU member states. As a result, Javier no longer feels comfortable with his photograph being publicly associated with the fitness club.

After numerous failed attempts to book an appointment with the manager of the local branch to discuss this matter, Javier sends a letter to EVETFIT requesting that his image be removed from the website and all promotional materials. Months pass and Javier, having received no acknowledgment of his request, becomes very anxious about this matter. After repeatedly failing to contact EVETFIT through alternate channels, he decides to take action against the company.

Javier contacts the U.K. Information Commissioner's Office ('ICO' -- the U.K.'s supervisory authority) to lodge a complaint about this matter. The ICO, pursuant to Article 56 (3) of the GDPR, informs the CNIL (i.e. the supervisory authority of EVERFIT's main establishment) about this matter. Despite the fact that EVERFIT has an establishment in the U.K., the CNIL decides to handle the case in accordance with Article 60 of the GDPR. The CNIL liaises with the ICO, as relevant under the cooperation procedure. In light of issues amongst the supervisory authorities to reach a decision, the European Data Protection Board becomes involved and, pursuant to the consistency mechanism, issues a binding decision.

Additionally, Javier sues EVERFIT for the damages caused as a result of its failure to honor his request to have his photograph removed from the brochure and website.

Under the cooperation mechanism, what should the lead authority (the CNIL) do after it has formed its view on the matter?

Question No. 3

What are the obligations of a processor that engages a sub-processor?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: D

According to Article 28(2) of the GDPR, the processor may not engage another processor (sub-processor) without the prior specific or general written authorization of the controller. In the case of general written authorization, the processor must inform the controller of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of other processors, thereby giving the controller the opportunity to object to such changes. Furthermore, Article 28(4) of the GDPR states that where a processor engages another processor for carrying out specific processing activities on behalf of the controller, the same data protection obligations as set out in the contract or other legal act between the controller and the processor shall be imposed on that other processor by way of a contract or other legal act under Union or Member State law, in particular providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR. Therefore, the processor must ensure that the sub-processor complies with data processing obligations that are equivalent to those that apply to the processor.Reference:

Question No. 4

In the EDPB's Guidelines 4/2019 on Article 25 Data Protection by Design and by Default, all of the following practices follow from the principles relating to the processing of personal data under EU data protection law EXCEPT?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

The EDPB's Guidelines 4/2019 on Article 25 Data Protection by Design and by Default provide guidance on how to implement the requirements of Article 25 of the GDPR, which obliges controllers to design and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures and necessary safeguards to ensure that the processing of personal data complies with the data protection principles and protects the rights and freedoms of data subjects. The guidelines also explain how to apply the concept of data protection by default, which means that by default, only personal data that are necessary for each specific purpose of the processing are processed.

The guidelines do not mention data ownership allocation as a practice that follows from the principles relating to the processing of personal data under EU data protection law. Data ownership allocation is not a concept that is recognised or defined by the GDPR or the EDPB. Data ownership allocation refers to the idea that data subjects or controllers have some form of property rights over the personal data that they provide or process. However, the GDPR does not grant such rights, but rather establishes a set of rules and obligations for the processing of personal data, based on the notion of accountability and responsibility of the controllers and processors. The GDPR also recognises the rights and freedoms of data subjects, such as the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection and not to be subject to automated decision-making, which are not dependent on the ownership of the personal data, but on the fact that the personal data relate to them.

The other practices listed in the question, namely access control management, frequent pseudonymization key rotation and error propagation avoidance along the processing chain, are examples of practices that follow from the principles relating to the processing of personal data under EU data protection law, as explained in the guidelines. Access control management follows from the principle of integrity and confidentiality, which requires that personal data are processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. Frequent pseudonymization key rotation follows from the principle of data minimisation, which requires that personal data are adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed. Error propagation avoidance along the processing chain follows from the principle of accuracy, which requires that personal data are accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.

Question No. 5

To receive a preliminary interpretation on provisions of the GDPR, a national court will refer its case to which of the following?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is the judicial body of the EU that makes decisions on issues of EU law and enforces European decisions either in respect to actions taken by the European Commission against a member state or actions taken by individuals to enforce their rights under EU law. The CJEU consists of two courts: the Court of Justice and the General Court. The CJEU ensures the uniform interpretation and application of EU law across the EU and settles disputes between EU institutions, member states, and individuals.

According to the EU Treaties, EU Member-States' courts may -- or, in case no appeal from their decisions is possible, must -- ask the CJEU to rule on the interpretation and validity of disputed provisions of EU law. Such decisions are known as preliminary rulings, by which the CJEU expresses its ultimate authority to interpret EU law and which are binding for all national courts in the EU when they apply those specific provisions in individual cases. Since May 2018 -- when the GDPR became applicable across the EU -, the CJEU has played an important role in clarifying the meaning and scope of some of its key concepts. For instance, the Court notably ruled that two parties as different as a website owner that has embedded a Facebook plugin and Facebook may be qualified as joint controllers by taking converging decisions ( Fashion ID case ), that consent for online data processing is not validly expressed through pre-ticked boxes ( Planet49 case) and that the European Commission Decision to grant adequacy to the EU-US Privacy Shield framework is invalid as a mechanism for international data transfers, and supplemental measures may be necessary to lawfully transfer data outside of the EU on the basis of Commission-vetted model clauses (in the Schrems II case ).

Therefore, to receive a preliminary interpretation on provisions of the GDPR, a national court will refer its case to the Court of Justice of the European Union, which is the ultimate authority on EU law and the GDPR.
