Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States (CIPP/US) — Question 151

What practice do courts commonly require in order to protect certain personal information on documents, whether paper or electronic, that is involved in litigation?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Redaction is the correct answer because it involves removing or obscuring sensitive information from documents to protect privacy during litigation. Encryption, while helpful for data security, does not remove information and isn't a practice mandated by courts for document submission. Deletion is not suitable since it eliminates information entirely, and hashing is used for integrity verification rather than protecting personal information.
