Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 76

Which of the following is MOST important to review before using an application programming interface (API) to help mitigate related privacy risk?

Answer options

• A. Data taxonomy
• B. Data classification
• C. Data flows
• D. Data collection

Correct answer: B
