CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 277

A company is launching a website in a different country in order to capture user information that a marketing business can use. The company itself will not be using the information. Which of the following roles is the company assuming?

Answer options

• A. Data owner
• B. Data processor
• C. Data steward
• D. Data collector

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Data processor, as the company is handling user information on behalf of another entity without owning that data. The other options are incorrect because a data owner would have control over the data, a data steward is responsible for data governance, and a data collector typically refers to someone who gathers data for their own use.
