Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States (CIPP/US) — Question 38

In which situation would a policy of “no consumer choice” or “no option” be expected?

Answer options

• A. When a job applicant’s credit report is provided to an employer
• B. When a customer’s financial information is requested by the government
• C. When a patient’s health record is made available to a pharmaceutical company
• D. When a customer’s street address is shared with a shipping company

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because sharing a customer's street address with a shipping company typically does not provide the consumer with a choice, as it is a necessary part of the shipping process. Options A, B, and C involve situations where consumer consent or choice is more relevant and may be subject to regulations that protect personal information.
