Question 114

SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Liem, an online retailer known for its environmentally friendly shoes, has recently expanded its presence in Europe. Anxious to achieve market dominance, Liem teamed up with another eco friendly company, EcoMick, which sells accessories like belts and bags. Together the companies drew up a series of marketing campaigns designed to highlight the environmental and economic benefits of their products. After months of planning, Liem and EcoMick entered into a data sharing agreement to use the same marketing database, MarketIQ, to send the campaigns to their respective contacts.
Liem and EcoMick also entered into a data processing agreement with MarketIQ, the terms of which included processing personal data only upon Liem and EcoMick's instructions, and making available to them all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with GDPR obligations.
Liem and EcoMick then procured the services of a company called JaphSoft, a marketing optimization firm that uses machine learning to help companies run successful campaigns. Clients provide JaphSoft with the personal data of individuals they would like to be targeted in each campaign. To ensure protection of its clients' data, JaphSoft implements the technical and organizational measures it deems appropriate. JaphSoft works to continually improve its machine learning models by analyzing the data it receives from its clients to determine the most successful components of a successful campaign. JaphSoft then uses such models in providing services to its client-base. Since the models improve only over a period of time as more information is collected, JaphSoft does not have a deletion process for the data it receives from clients. However, to ensure compliance with data privacy rules, JaphSoft pseudonymizes the personal data by removing identifying information from the contact information. JaphSoft's engineers, however, maintain all contact information in the same database as the identifying information.
Under its agreement with Liem and EcoMick, JaphSoft received access to MarketIQ, which included contact information as well as prior purchase history for such contacts, to create campaigns that would result in the most views of the two companies' websites. A prior Liem customer, Ms. Iman, received a marketing campaign from JaphSoft regarding Liem's as well as EcoMick's latest products. While Ms. Iman recalls checking a box to receive information in the future regarding Liem's products, she has never shopped EcoMick, nor provided her personal data to that company.
For what reason would JaphSoft be considered a controller under the GDPR?

A.It determines how long to retain the personal data collected.
B.It has been provided access to personal data in the MarketIQ database.
C.It uses personal data to improve its products and services for its client-base through machine learning.
D.It makes decisions regarding the technical and organizational measures necessary to protect the personal data.

Question 115

SCENARIO

The company conducted an initial search of its IT systems, which returned a large amount of information They then contacted Jack, requesting that he be more specific regarding what information he required, so that they could carry out a targeted search Jack responded by stating that he would not narrow the scope of the information requester.
What would be the most appropriate response to Jacks data subject access request?

A.The company should not provide any information, as the company is headquartered outside of the EU.
B.The company should decline to provide any information, as the amount of information requested is too excessive to provide in one month.
C.The company should cite the need for an extension, and agree to provide the information requested in Jack's original DSAR within a period of 3 months.
D.The company should provide all requested information except for the emails, as they are excluded from data access request requirements under the GDPR.

Correct Answer: B

According to Article 15 of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to access and receive a copy of their personal data, and other supplementary information, from the data controller1. However, this right is not absolute and may be subject to limitations or restrictions. One of the grounds for refusing or limiting a data subject access request (DSAR) is when the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of its repetitive character1. In such cases, the controller may either charge a reasonable fee, taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information, or refuse to act on the request1. The controller must inform the data subject of the reasons for not taking action and of the possibility of lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority or seeking a judicial remedy1.
In this scenario, Jack's DSAR is likely to be considered excessive, as he requests a copy of all personal data, including internal emails, that were sent or received by him or where he is directly or indirectly identifiable from the contents. This is a very broad and vague request, which would require the company to search and review a large amount of information, and potentially disclose confidential or sensitive data about other employees or third parties. The company has already contacted Jack, asking him to be more specific about what information he requires, but he refused to narrow the scope of his request. Therefore, the company has a valid reason to decline to provide any information, as the amount of information requested is too excessive to provide in one month, which is the general time limit for responding to a DSAR under the GDPR1. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
Option A is incorrect because the company's headquarters location is irrelevant for the purpose of the DSAR, as the GDPR applies to any processing of personal data in the context of the activities of an establishment of a controller or a processor in the EU, regardless of whether the processing takes place in the EU or not2. The company has an establishment in Ireland, where Jack worked, and therefore is subject to the GDPR.
Option C is incorrect because the company cannot agree to provide the information requested in Jack's original DSAR within a period of 3 months, as this would violate the data subject's right of access and the principle of accountability under the GDPR. The company can only extend the time limit to respond to a DSAR by a further two months if the request is complex or if the controller receives a number of requests from the same data subject1. However, the company must inform the data subject of any such extension within one month of receipt of the request, together with the reasons for the delay1. In this case, the company has not done so, and has instead asked Jack to be more specific about his request.
Option D is incorrect because the company cannot provide all requested information except for the emails, as this would not comply with the data subject's right of access and the principle of transparency under the GDPR. The company must provide the data subject with a copy of the personal data undergoing processing, unless this adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others1. The emails are part of the personal data undergoing processing, and the company cannot exclude them from the DSAR without a valid reason. The company must also provide the data subject with the following supplementary information, unless the data subject already has it1:
the purposes of the processing;
the categories of personal data concerned;
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations; where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period; the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing; the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source; the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
