Certified Information Privacy Professional – Europe (CIPP/E) — Question 2

What type of data lies beyond the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation?

Answer options

• A. Pseudonymized
• B. Anonymized
• C. Encrypted
• D. Masked

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as anonymized data is not considered personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation and thus falls outside its scope. In contrast, pseudonymized, encrypted, and masked data can still be linked back to individuals and are therefore protected under the regulation.
