Q137. SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Ben is a member of the fitness club STAYFIT. This company has branches in many EU member states, but for the purposes of the GDPR maintains its primary establishment in France. Ben lives in Newry, Northern Ireland (part of the U.K.), and commutes across the border to work in Dundalk, Ireland. Two years ago while on a business trip, Ben was photographed while working out at a branch of STAYFIT in Frankfurt, Germany. At the time, Ben gave his consent to being included in the photograph, since he was told that it would be used for promotional purposes only. Since then, the photograph has been used in the club’s U.K. brochures, and it features in the landing page of its U.K. website. However, the fitness club has recently fallen into disrepute due to widespread mistreatment of members at various branches of the club in several EU member states. As a result, Ben no longer feels comfortable with his photograph being publicly associated with the fitness club.
After numerous failed attempts to book an appointment with the manager of the local branch to discuss this matter, Ben sends a letter to STAYFIT requesting that his image be removed from the website and all promotional materials. Months pass and Ben, having received no acknowledgment of his request, becomes very anxious about this matter. After repeatedly failing to contact STAYFIT through alternate channels, he decides to take action against the company.
Ben contacts the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office (‘ICO’ – the U.K.’s supervisory authority) to lodge a complaint about this matter.
Under the cooperation mechanism, what should the lead authority (the CNIL) do after it has formed its view on the matter?

Q138. SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Zandelay Fashion (‘Zandelay’) is a successful international online clothing retailer that employs approximately 650 people at its headquarters based in Dublin, Ireland. Martin is their recently appointed data protection officer, who oversees the company’s compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other privacy legislation.
The company offers both male and female clothing lines across all age demographics, including children. In doing so, the company processes large amounts of information about such customers, including preferences and sensitive financial information such as credit card and bank account numbers.
In an aggressive bid to build revenue growth, Jerry, the CEO, tells Martin that the company is launching a new mobile app and loyalty scheme that puts significant emphasis on profiling the company’s customers by analyzing their purchases. Martin tells the CEO that: (a) the potential risks of such activities means that Zandelay needs to carry out a data protection impact assessment to assess this new venture and its privacy implications; and (b) where the results of this assessment indicate a high risk in the absence of appropriate protection measures, Zandelay may have to undertake a prior consultation with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner before implementing the app and loyalty scheme.
Jerry tells Martin that he is not happy about the prospect of having to directly engage with a supervisory authority and having to disclose details of Zandelay’s business plan and associated processing activities.
What would MOST effectively assist Zandelay in conducting their data protection impact assessment?

Q139. SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Sandy recently joined Market4U, an advertising technology company founded in 2016, as their VP of Privacy and Data Governance. Through her first initiative in conducting a data inventory, Sandy learned that Market4U maintains a list of 19 million global contacts that were collected throughout the course of Market4U’s existence. Knowing the risk of having such a large amount of data, Sandy wanted to purge all contacts that were entered into Market4U’s systems prior to May 2018, unless such contacts had a more recent interaction with Market4U content. However, Dan, the VP of Sales, informed Sandy that all of the contacts provide useful information regarding successful marketing campaigns and trends in industry verticals for Market4U’s clients.
Dan also informed Sandy that he had wanted to focus on gaining more customers within the sports and entertainment industry. To assist with this behavior, Market4U’s marketing team decided to add several new fields to Market4U’s website forms, including forms for downloading white papers, creating accounts to participate in Market4U’s forum, and attending events. Such fields include birth date and salary.
What is the best way that Sandy can gain the insights that Dan seeks while still minimizing risks for Market4U?
