Certified Data Management Professional – Fundamentals (CDMP) — Question 117

Consent is given when an organisation has:

Answer options

• A. Reviewed its current policies with its data governance committee
• B. Published specific information about its policies and practices
• C. Obtained permission from an individual for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information
• D. Captured and stored data in its database
• E. Been hacked and information about people has become public

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as consent specifically involves obtaining permission from individuals regarding their personal information. Options A and B relate to policy review and publication, which do not inherently involve consent. Option D refers to data storage without addressing consent, and option E describes a security breach rather than a legitimate process for obtaining consent.
