Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

The 2012 Obama administration's Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights is generally based on traditional fair information practices. These practices originated in the 1970s and consist of guidelines for protecting personal data and privacy. They were established long before the European Union Directive and focused on principles such as transparency, data minimization, and accountability, which were key elements in the development of the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights.

It's D since that's what the government briefings say and the IAPP book reads. FIPPs (1970's and 1980s) existed long before the EU Data Protection Directive (1995) did.

Option C "European Union Directive" is actually a valid answer, as the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights was partially inspired by the European Union's Data Protection Directive. Therefore, both options C and D could be considered correct.

C - Traditional fair information practices - Obama administration issued a report proposing a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights. Derived from traditional fair information practices, this document aimed to empower consumers by giving them more control over how businesses handle their data, by restricting collection of their personal data, and by ensuring that their data will only be used for the agreed purpose. The Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights doesn't have the force of law, and compliance is voluntary. It formed the backbone for a proposed approach to new privacy legislation from the Obama administration in 2015, but that legislation stalled. Subsequent federal legislation derived from these principles have continued to flounder in Congress. After Obama's term in office ended, the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights was removed from the White House website by the new administration. ( The 2012 White House Report contains a preface signed by President Obama and define the “Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights” based on traditional fair information practices (FIPs).)
