Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 124

Which of the following poses the GREATEST privacy risk for users of an application that collects their geolocation information?

Answer options

• A. Complex legal disclosures
• B. Inaccurate cell tower triangulation
• C. Use of the location data for user profiling
• D. Third-party access to aggregated location data

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Third-party access to aggregated location data is a major privacy concern because it allows external entities to analyze and exploit user location information without their consent. In contrast, complex legal disclosures may inform users but do not inherently compromise privacy, inaccurate cell tower triangulation affects accuracy rather than privacy, and while user profiling can be concerning, it typically relies on data that is already aggregated.
