Certified Information Privacy Professional – Europe (CIPP/E) — Question 223

Pursuant to Article 17 and EDPB Guidelines 5/2019 on RTBF criteria in search engines cases, all of the following would be valid grounds for data subject delisting requests EXCEPT?

Answer options

• A. The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services (ISS) to a child.
• B. The data subject withdraws consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
• C. The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the search engine provider's processing.
• D. The processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because processing that upholds the right to freedom of expression and information is a valid reason to retain data and does not warrant a delisting request. Options A, B, and C all present scenarios where there are legitimate grounds for a data subject to request delisting, making them valid reasons under the guidelines.
