Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 196

Which of the following should be used to address data kept beyond its intended lifespan?

Answer options

• A. Data minimization
• B. Data anonymization
• C. Data security
• D. Data normalization

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Data minimization is the practice of limiting data collection and retention to only what is necessary, making it the best choice for addressing data kept beyond its intended lifespan. Data anonymization protects privacy by removing identifiable information, Data security focuses on protecting data from unauthorized access, and Data normalization is about organizing data in a database, which does not specifically address the issue of data retention.
