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

  2. Fråga 2 av 16

    Since which date has the GDPR applied across the EU?
    Visa svar

    Svar: A. 25 May 2018

  3. Fråga 3 av 16

    Under the GDPR, personal data is information that relates to whom?
    Visa svar

    Svar: 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. Fråga 4 av 16

    Which of these is personal data?
    Visa svar

    Svar: 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. Fråga 5 av 16

    What is the person that personal data is about called?
    Visa svar

    Svar: D. The data subject

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

  6. Fråga 6 av 16

    Which of these belongs to the special categories of personal data?
    Visa svar

    Svar: C. Data about a person's health

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

  7. Fråga 7 av 16

    Which statement best describes "processing" under the GDPR?
    Visa svar

    Svar: 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. Fråga 8 av 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?
    Visa svar

    Svar: 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. Fråga 9 av 16

    When does information stop being personal data?
    Visa svar

    Svar: 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. Fråga 10 av 16

    What is the organisation that decides why and how personal data is processed called?
    Visa svar

    Svar: D. The controller

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

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

    Svar: A. A processor

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

  12. Fråga 12 av 16

    Who enforces the GDPR in each EU country?
    Visa svar

    Svar: 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. Fråga 13 av 16

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

    Svar: 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. Fråga 14 av 16

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

    Svar: 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. Fråga 15 av 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)

    Visa svar

    Svar: 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. Fråga 16 av 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)

    Visa svar

    Svar: 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.

Vanliga frågor

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.

Är intyget ackrediterat eller officiellt erkänt?

Nej. Det är ett privat kursintyg, bara för dina kunskaper. Det är inte erkänt, ackrediterat eller godkänt av någon myndighet, tillståndsmyndighet, tillsynsmyndighet eller utbildningsinstitution, och det ersätter inte någon licens, certifiering eller utbildning som krävs enligt lag.
