Which sentence BEST summarizes the concepts of “fairness,” “lawfulness” and “transparency”, as expressly required by Article 5 of the GDPR?
Fairness and transparency refer to the communication of key information before collecting data, ensuring individuals are properly informed and treated justly. Lawfulness refers to compliance with legal regulations, which is foundational to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Correct answer: A. Fairness and transparency refer to the communication of key information before collecting data; lawfulness refers to compliance with government regulations.
The answer cannot be D. As per the EDPB Guidelines 4/2019, "Fairness is an overarching principle which requires that personal data should not be processed in a way that is unjustifiably detrimental, unlawfully discriminatory, unexpected or misleading to the data subject." It does not at all mean collecting from diverse subjects - the number of data subjects is irrelevant. Answer A is the correct one.
Agreed, answer should be A. In the IAPP EU Data Protection book, section 6.2.3 specifically states "directly linked to fairness.."
The sentence of D. correctly captures the key concepts of fairness, lawfulness, and transparency as required by Article 5 of the GDPR. Fairness refers to the collection of data from diverse subjects, ensuring that everyone is treated equally. Lawfulness refers to the need for legal rules to be uniform, meaning that all companies must follow the same rules and regulations. Transparency refers to giving individuals access to their data, as well as communicating key information before collecting data.
legal rules do not need to be uniform hence why there are f.e. possibilities within the age range for consent. correct answer should be A as other persons stated for said reasons before.
In addition to Num (below) the best (far from perfect) answer is D. I agree that 'diverse' subject is misleading, but not wrong. Answer A is wrong because government regulations are not relevant in this: the GDPR is.
