According to the Free CIPP/E Study Guide, page 14, “the GDPR requires controllers to carry out a data protection impact assessment (DPIA) prior to processing where a type of processing, in particular using new technologies, and taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing, is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.” The GDPR also provides a list of examples of processing operations that require a DPIA, such as “a systematic and extensive evaluation of personal aspects relating to natural persons which is based on automated processing, including profiling, and on which decisions are based that produce legal effects concerning the natural person or similarly significantly affect the natural person” (Article 35(3)(a)). Therefore, the fact that Dynaroux plans to undertake profiling of its customers through analysis of their purchasing patterns would trigger a DPIA under the GDPR, as it involves a systematic and extensive evaluation of personal aspects based on automated processing that may significantly affect the customers. The other options are not necessarily cases where a DPIA is required, although they may involve other obligations under the GDPR, such as obtaining a valid legal basis, providing adequate safeguards, or informing the data subjects. References:

GDPR, Article 35

According to Article 83 of the GDPR, the less severe administrative fines of up to 10 million euros or 2% of the annual worldwide turnover apply to infringements of the articles governing controllers and processors, certification bodies, and monitoring bodies. These include Articles 8, 11, 25-39, 42, and 43. Among the answer choices, only option B falls under this category, as Article 25 requires controllers to implement data protection by design and by default. Option A is related to Article 7, which governs the conditions for consent. Option C is related to Article 5, which sets out the principles for processing personal data. Option D is related to Article 16, which grants the right to rectification to data subjects. These articles are subject to the more severe administrative fines of up to 20 million euros or 4% of the annual worldwide turnover. References:

 According to the CIPP/E study guide, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled in the case of Google Spain SL, Google Inc. v Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD), Mario Costeja González1 that an Internet search engine operator is responsible for the processing of personal data that appear on web pages published by third parties, and that such operator must comply with the EU data protection law when it has an establishment in the EU. The CJEU held that Google Spain and Google Inc. were inextricably linked in their businesses, since Google Spain promoted and sold advertising space offered by Google Inc., which oriented its activity towards the inhabitants of Spain. Therefore, Google Inc. was subject to the EU data protection law through its subsidiary Google Spain, even though the personal data processing was carried out by Google Inc. outside the EU. This implies that search engines outside the EEA are also likely to be subject to the Regulation’s right to be forgotten if they have an establishment in the EU that is inextricably linked to their parent company. References: 1: CIPP/E study guide, page 16; Google Spain v AEPD and Mario Costeja González

According to Article 13 of the GDPR, when a controller obtains personal data directly from the data subject, the controller must provide the data subject with certain information about the processing of their data, such as the identity and contact details of the controller, the purposes and legal basis of the processing, the recipients or categories of recipients, the period of storage, the rights of the data subject, the right to lodge a complaint, etc. However, the controller does not have to provide the data subject with the categories of personal data concerned, as this information is already known by the data subject, since they provided the data themselves. This is different from Article 14, which applies when the controller obtains personal data from a source other than the data subject, and requires the controller to inform the data subject of the categories of personal data concerned, as well as the source of the data. References:
