    Which of these is personal data?
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: 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. Tanong 5 ng 16

    What is the person that personal data is about called?
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: D. The data subject

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

  6. Tanong 6 ng 16

    Which of these belongs to the special categories of personal data?
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: C. Data about a person's health

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

  7. Tanong 7 ng 16

    Which statement best describes "processing" under the GDPR?
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: 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. Tanong 8 ng 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?
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: 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. Tanong 9 ng 16

    When does information stop being personal data?
    Ipakita ang sagot

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

    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: 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.

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

  16. Tanong 16 ng 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)

    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: 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.

Mga madalas itanong

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.

Accredited ba o opisyal na kinikilala ang sertipiko?

Hindi. Ito ay pribadong sertipiko ng pagkumpleto para lamang sa kaalaman. Hindi ito kinikilala, hindi accredited at hindi inaprubahan ng anumang pamahalaan, ahensyang nagbibigay ng lisensya, regulator o institusyong pang-edukasyon, at hindi nito pinapalitan ang anumang lisensya, sertipikasyon o pagsasanay na hinihingi ng batas.
