Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 177

An individual drives to the grocery store for dinner. When she arrives at the store, she receives several unsolicited notifications on her phone about discounts on items at the grocery store she is about to shop at. Which type of privacy problem does this represent?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The scenario represents an 'Intrusion' privacy problem, as the unsolicited notifications invade the individual's personal space and attention without consent. 'Surveillance' relates more to ongoing monitoring rather than unsolicited alerts, while 'Decisional Interference' involves influencing a person's choices, and 'Exposure' pertains to the risk of personal information being revealed, none of which directly apply here.
