Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 145

Which of the following is the PRIMARY consideration when managing consent for the use of an application targeted toward children?

Answer options

• A. Requiring children to obtain permission from parents or guardians before using the application
• B. Using clear and consistent terminology in the terms of use and privacy notices
• C. Verifying the approval of parents or guardians before processing personal data of children
• D. Verifying the date of birth for users who may be legally considered as minors

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is crucial because it ensures that the personal data of children is only processed with parental consent, complying with legal requirements. Options A and D focus on permission and age verification, which are important but secondary to ensuring parental approval for data processing. Option B addresses the clarity of information but does not directly relate to consent management.
