Which of the following privacy regulation advocates de-identification of personal information?
Answer options
- A. EU Data Protection Directive
- B. Canada’s PIPEDA
- C. Australia’s ANPP
- D. IT Act of India
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The EU Data Protection Directive emphasizes the importance of de-identifying personal data to protect individuals' privacy. While Canada’s PIPEDA, Australia’s ANPP, and the IT Act of India have privacy provisions, they do not specifically advocate for the de-identification of personal information to the same extent as the EU Data Protection Directive.
