Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 180

Which of the following occurs when an individual takes a specific observable action to indicate and confirm that they give permission for their information to be processed?

Answer options

• A. Express consent
• B. Implied consent
• C. Informed notice
• D. Authorized notice

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Express consent, as it specifically refers to a clear and affirmative action taken by an individual to grant permission for data processing. The other options, such as B (Implied consent), suggest permission that is inferred rather than explicitly given, while C (Informed notice) and D (Authorized notice) do not focus on the individual's direct action to provide consent.
