Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 275

When deploying a consumer gadget that incorporates speech recognition, where is the speech generally best processed, from a privacy by design perspective?

Answer options

• A. Within the subject’s jurisdiction
• B. On the remote server
• C. On the local device
• D. In the cloud

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Processing speech on the local device enhances user privacy as it minimizes data transmission and potential exposure to external servers. In contrast, processing on a remote server or in the cloud can introduce risks related to data security and privacy breaches, as the information may be transmitted over the internet and stored in external locations.
