Questionário temático 1: What personal data is

  1. Pergunta 1 de 16

    What does the abbreviation GDPR stand for?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: A. General Data Protection Regulation

    GDPR is the General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

  2. Pergunta 2 de 16

    Since which date has the GDPR applied across the EU?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: A. 25 May 2018

    The GDPR entered into force on 24 May 2016 and has applied since 25 May 2018.

  3. Pergunta 3 de 16

    Under the GDPR, personal data is information that relates to whom?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: D. An identified or identifiable living person

    Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable living individual, called the data subject.

  4. Pergunta 4 de 16

    Which of these is personal data?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: C. The work email marta.novak@example.com

    An email address that points to one person is personal data. Company numbers, generic company addresses and irreversibly anonymised data are not.

  5. Pergunta 5 de 16

    What is the person that personal data is about called?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: D. The data subject

    Article 4(1) GDPR calls the identified or identifiable person the data subject.

  6. Pergunta 6 de 16

    Which of these belongs to the special categories of personal data?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: C. Data about a person's health

    Health data is one of the special categories in Article 9 GDPR, which need extra protection.

  7. Pergunta 7 de 16

    Which statement best describes "processing" under the GDPR?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: C. Any operation on personal data, from collecting and viewing it to deleting it

    Article 4(2) GDPR defines processing very widely, from collection and consultation to disclosure, erasure and destruction.

  8. Pergunta 8 de 16

    In a staff survey, names are replaced with codes and the list linking codes to names is kept separately. What is the survey data now?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: D. Still personal data, as it can be linked back to people

    Pseudonymised data can be used to re-identify people, so it remains personal data under the GDPR.

  9. Pergunta 9 de 16

    When does information stop being personal data?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: D. When it is anonymised so that nobody can ever be identified again

    Only data anonymised so that no one can be identified, irreversibly, falls outside the GDPR. Encrypted and pseudonymised data are still personal data.

  10. Pergunta 10 de 16

    What is the organisation that decides why and how personal data is processed called?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: D. The controller

    Article 4(7) GDPR: the controller determines the purposes and means of the processing.

  11. Pergunta 11 de 16

    A company uses an outside payroll provider, which pays staff on the company's instructions. What is the payroll provider usually?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: A. A processor

    A processor processes personal data on behalf of the controller. The EDPB gives a payroll company as an example.

  12. Pergunta 12 de 16

    Who enforces the GDPR in each EU country?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: A. An independent national data protection authority

    Each EEA country has its own independent data protection authority, which handles complaints, investigates and can impose sanctions.

  13. Pergunta 13 de 16

    Pavel keeps an address book of his friends' birthdays at home, just for himself. Does the GDPR apply to it?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: A. No, purely personal or household activities are outside it

    Article 2(2)(c) GDPR excludes processing by a person in a purely personal or household activity. Data you handle at work is not covered by this exception.

  14. Pergunta 14 de 16

    According to the GDPR recitals, which can set more specific rules on processing employees' personal data?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: B. National law or collective agreements, such as works agreements

    Recital 155 says Member State law or collective agreements, including works agreements, may set specific rules for employee data. National rules therefore differ.

  15. Pergunta 15 de 16

    Read the description. What kind of data is in column D?

    Clara works at the front desk of Northfield Clinic. Her manager asks her to tidy up a spreadsheet called "visits.xlsx". It has these columns:

    Column A: patient code (for example P-1047)
    Column B: first name
    Column C: date of visit
    Column D: reason for visit (for example "asthma check")
    Column E: email address (for example j.doe@example.com)

    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: B. Special category data, because it concerns health

    The reason for a clinic visit, such as an asthma check, is data concerning health, a special category under Article 9 GDPR.

  16. Pergunta 16 de 16

    Read the description. Clara suggests deleting column B so the file is "anonymous". Is she right?

    Clara works at the front desk of Northfield Clinic. Her manager asks her to tidy up a spreadsheet called "visits.xlsx". It has these columns:

    Column A: patient code (for example P-1047)
    Column B: first name
    Column C: date of visit
    Column D: reason for visit (for example "asthma check")
    Column E: email address (for example j.doe@example.com)

    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: D. No, the codes and email addresses still identify people

    Data is only anonymous if no one can be identified. Codes that link to patient records and email addresses still identify people, so it stays personal data.

Perguntas frequentes

Is this an official GDPR certification?

No. When you pass the final assessment you get a PassEveryTest Certificate of Completion, which shows you finished this general awareness course. It is not an accredited qualification or a legally required training certificate, and it does not replace the data protection training your employer gives you.

How does the final assessment work?

It has 30 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 35-minute time limit. You need 80% to pass, and each attempt gives you a new mix of questions.

Are the rules the same in every EU country?

The GDPR applies directly in every EU country, but some details are set nationally, such as specific rules on employee data and the age at which children can consent online. Each country has its own data protection authority.

What should I do if I sent personal data to the wrong person?

Report it internally straight away, following your organisation's procedure. Your employer may have only 72 hours to notify the data protection authority, so do not wait.

Does my employer need my consent to process my data?

Usually not. Employers normally rely on other lawful bases, such as the employment contract or a legal obligation, because staff may not feel free to refuse consent.

O certificado é acreditado ou reconhecido oficialmente?

Não. É um certificado de conclusão privado, apenas para o seu conhecimento. Não é reconhecido, acreditado nem aprovado por nenhum governo, entidade licenciadora, regulador ou instituição de ensino e não substitui qualquer licença, certificação ou formação exigida por lei.
