Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 225

Many modern vehicles incorporate technologies that increase the convenience of drivers, but collect information about driver behavior in order to implement this. What should vehicle manufacturers prioritize to ensure enhanced privacy protection for drivers?

Answer options

• A. Share the sensitive data collected about driver behavior with the driver
• B. Derive implicit consent for the processing of sensitive data by the continued use of the vehicle
• C. Obtain affirmative consent for processing of sensitive data about the driver
• D. Provide easy to read, in-vehicle instructions about how to use the technology

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because obtaining affirmative consent ensures drivers are aware of and agree to the processing of their sensitive data. Options A and B do not prioritize driver privacy, as sharing data without consent or assuming agreement through use can lead to privacy violations. Option D, while helpful, does not directly address privacy concerns related to data collection.
