Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 61

A company seeking to hire engineers in Silicon Valley ran an ad campaign targeting women in a specific age range who live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Which Calo objective privacy harm is likely to result from this campaign?

Answer options

• A. Lost opportunity.
• B. Economic loss.
• C. Loss of liberty.
• D. Social detriment.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Lost opportunity' because the targeted nature of the ad may exclude other candidates who could be qualified, thereby limiting their chances to apply. The other options, such as 'Economic loss', 'Loss of liberty', and 'Social detriment', do not directly relate to the specific consequences of targeting a particular demographic for recruitment.
