Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 94

Which of the following is most important to provide to the data subject before the collection phase of the data lifecycle?

Answer options

• A. Privacy Notice
• B. Disclosure Policy
• C. Consent Request
• D. Data Protection Policy

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as obtaining a Consent Request from the data subject is essential to ensure that they agree to the collection of their data. While the other options provide important information about data handling and privacy practices, they do not directly seek permission from the individual, making them less critical at this stage.
