Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 93

An organization is launching a new smart speaker to the market. The device will have the capability to play music and provide news and weather updates. Which of the following would be a concern from a privacy perspective?

Answer options

• A. Appropriation.
• B. Browser Fingerprinting.
• C. Context of authority.
• D. Context aware computing.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Context aware computing raises privacy concerns because it involves the device being aware of the user's environment and activities, which can lead to the collection of sensitive information. The other options, while related to privacy, do not specifically address the implications of a device that is constantly monitoring its context and interactions.
