A dynamic Internet Protocol (IP) address is considered personal data when it is combined with what?

    Correct Answer: B

    A dynamic Internet Protocol (IP) address is considered personal data when it is combined with other data held by the controller. The controller is typically responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal data, and thus can combine dynamic IP addresses with other identifying information to recognize individuals.

Should be D - from the textbook "he CJEU ruled dynamic IP addresses would be personal data in the hands of the German state because, ‘in the event of cyber attacks’, German law allowed the German state to obtain the additional identifying information from ISPs to determine the specific individual to whom a particular IP address related".
