Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States (CIPP/US) — Question 36

Which of the following best describes how federal anti-discrimination laws protect the privacy of private-sector employees in the United States?

Answer options

• A. They prescribe working environments that are safe and comfortable.
• B. They limit the amount of time a potential employee can be interviewed.
• C. They promote a workforce of employees with diverse skills and interests.
• D. They limit the types of information that employers can collect about employees.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is accurate because federal anti-discrimination laws indeed place limitations on the types of personal information that employers can collect to protect employee privacy. Options A, B, and C do not address privacy concerns directly and instead focus on workplace conditions and employee diversity, which are not the main focus of these laws.
