Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 63

Which of the following most embodies the principle of Data Protection by Default?

Answer options

• A. A messaging app for high school students that uses HTTPS to communicate with the server.
• B. An electronic teddy bear with built-in voice recognition that only responds to its owner's voice.
• C. An internet forum for victims of domestic violence that allows anonymous posts without registration.
• D. A website that has an opt-in form for marketing emails when registering to download a whitepaper.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is the best representation of Data Protection by Default because it prioritizes user anonymity and privacy without requiring registration. Options A, B, and D do have security measures, but they do not inherently provide the same level of protection for user data by default as Option C does.
