Certified Information Privacy Professional – Asia (CIPP/A) — Question 91

What personal information is considered sensitive in almost all countries with privacy laws?

Answer options

• A. Marital status.
• B. Health information.
• C. Employment history.
• D. Criminal convictions.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Health information is deemed sensitive because it can significantly impact an individual's privacy and well-being, making it a priority under privacy laws globally. While marital status, employment history, and criminal convictions are also important, they do not carry the same universal level of sensitivity and protection as health-related data.
