Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 278

When designing a new system, which of the following is a privacy threat that the privacy technologist should consider?

Answer options

• A. Data aggregation
• B. Third-party sharing
• C. Social engineering
• D. Inadequate data encryption

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Data aggregation is a privacy threat because it involves collecting and combining data from various sources, which can lead to personal information being exposed or misused. While third-party sharing, social engineering, and inadequate data encryption are also important concerns, they do not specifically relate to the aggregation of data from multiple sources, making them less relevant in this context.
