SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:
Cheryl is the sole owner of Fitness Coach, Inc., a medium-sized company that helps individuals realize their physical fitness goals through classes, individual instruction, and access to an extensive indoor gym. She has owned the company for ten years and has always been concerned about protecting customer's privacy while maintaining the highest level of service. She is proud that she has built long-lasting customer relationships.
Although Cheryl and her staff have tried to make privacy protection a priority, the company has no formal privacy policy. So Cheryl hired Janice, a privacy professional, to help her develop one.
After an initial assessment, Janice created a first of a new policy. Cheryl read through the draft and was concerned about the many changes the policy would bring throughout the company. For example, the draft policy stipulates that a customer's personal information can only be held for one year after paying for a service such as a session with personal trainer. It also promises that customer information will not be shared with third parties without the written consent of the customer. The wording of these rules worry Cheryl since stored personal information often helps her company to serve her customers, even if there are long pauses between their visits. In addition, there are some third parties that provide crucial services, such as aerobics instructors who teach classes on a contract basis. Having access to customer files and understanding the fitness levels of their students helps instructors to organize their classes.
Janice understood Cheryl's concerns and was already formulating some ideas for revision. She tried to put Cheryl at ease by pointing out that customer data can still be kept, but that it should be classified according to levels of sensitivity. However, Cheryl was skeptical. It seemed that classifying data and treating each type differently would cause undue difficulties in the company's day-to-day operations. Cheryl wants one simple data storage and access system that any employee can access if needed.
Even though the privacy policy was only a draft, she was beginning to see that changes within her company were going to be necessary. She told Janice that she would be more comfortable with implementing the new policy gradually over a period of several months, one department at a time. She was also interested in a layered approach by creating documents listing applicable parts of the new policy for each department.
What is the main problem with Cheryl's suggested method of communicating the new privacy policy?
- A. The policy might not be implemented consistency across departments.
- B. Employees would not be comfortable with a policy that is put into action over time.
- C. Employees might not understand how the documents relate to the policy as a whole.
- D. The policy would not be considered valid if not communicated in full.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 92
What is a key way that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) prevents unauthorized access into a person's back account?
- A. By requiring immediate public disclosure after a suspected security breach.
- B. By requiring the financial institutions limit the collection of personal information.
- C. By requiring the amount of customer personal information printed on paper.
- D. By restricting the disclosure of customer account numbers by financial institutions.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The GLBA prohibits financial institutions from disclosing a consumer's account number or similar form of access number or access code to any nonaffiliated third party for use in telemarketing, direct mail marketing, or other marketing through electronic mail to the consumer. This restriction is intended to prevent unauthorized access to a person's bank account by third parties who may use the account number to initiate fraudulent transactions or identity theft. The GLBA also requires financial institutions to implement safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of customer information, and to notify customers and regulators in the event of a security breach involving such information.

NEW QUESTION # 93
SCENARIO -
Please use the following to answer the next question:
Jane is a U.S. citizen and a senior software engineer at California-based Jones Labs, a major software supplier to the U.S. Department of Defense and other U.S. federal agencies. Jane's manager, Patrick, is a French citizen who has been living in California for over a decade. Patrick has recently begun to suspect that Jane is an insider secretly transmitting trade secrets to foreign intelligence. Unbeknownst to Patrick, the FBI has already received a hint from anonymous whistleblower, and jointly with the National Security Agency is investigating Jane's possible implication in a sophisticated foreign espionage campaign.
Ever since the pandemic, Jane has been working from home. To complete her daily tasks she uses her corporate laptop, which after each login conspicuously provides notice that the equipment belongs to Jones Labs and may be monitored according to the enacted privacy policy and employment handbook. Jane also has a corporate mobile phone that she uses strictly for business, the terms of which are defined in her employment contract and elaborated upon in her employee handbook. Both the privacy policy and the employee handbook are revised annually by a reputable California law firm specializing in privacy law. Jane also has a personal iPhone that she uses for private purposes only.
Jones Labs has its primary data center in San Francisco, which is managed internally by Jones Labs engineers.
The secondary data center, managed by Amazon AWS, is physically located in the UK for disaster recovery purposes. Jones Labs' mobile devices backup is managed by a mid-sized mobile defense company located in Denver, which physically stores the data in Canada to reduce costs. Jones Labs MS Office documents are securely stored in a Microsoft Office 365 data center based in Ireland. Manufacturing data of Jones Labs is stored in Taiwan and managed by a local supplier that has no presence in the U.S.
Before inspecting any GPS geolocation data from Jane's corporate mobile phone, Patrick should first do what?
- A. Obtain prior consent from Jane pursuant to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
- B. Obtain a subpoena from law enforcement, or a court order, directing Jones Labs to collect the GPS geolocation data.
- C. Ensure that such activity is permitted under Jane's employment contract or the company's employee privacy policy.
- D. Revise emerging workplace privacy best practices with a reputable advocacy organization.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Patrick should first ensure that inspecting GPS geolocation data from Jane's corporate mobile phone is permitted under Jane's employment contract or the company's employee privacy policy. This is because Jane has a reasonable expectation of privacy in her location information, even if she uses a corporate-owned device for business purposes. The Fourth Amendment protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) prohibits unauthorized interception or access to electronic communications by private parties. Therefore, Patrick cannot inspect Jane's GPS data without a valid legal basis, such as consent, contract, or court order. Obtaining prior consent from Jane pursuant to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (A) is not relevant, as this law regulates unsolicited calls and text messages, not location tracking. Revising emerging workplace privacy best practices with a reputable advocacy organization (B) is not sufficient, as Patrick still needs to comply with the existing legal obligations and contractual terms. Obtaining a subpoena from law enforcement, or a court order, directing Jones Labs to collect the GPS geolocation data is not necessary, as Patrick is not acting on behalf of the government or in response to a legal request. However, if Patrick does obtain such a legal order, he should also comply with it and notify Jane of the disclosure, unless prohibited by law. References:

NEW QUESTION # 94
Which of the following does Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibit an employer from asking a job applicant?
- A. Questions about a national origin
- B. Questions about age
- C. Questions about intended pregnancy
- D. Questions about a disability
Answer: C
Explanation:
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin1 It also prohibits retaliation against individuals who assert their rights under the law or participate in an EEOC investigation1 Title VII applies to employers with 15 or more employees, as well as to employment agencies, labor organizations, and joint labor-management committees1 Title VII prohibits employers from making pre-employment inquiries that express a preference, limitation, or specification based on any of the protected characteristics, unless they are bona fide occupational qualifications (BFOQs)2 BFOQs are rare and narrowly construed exceptions that allow employers to consider a protected characteristic when it is reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the business2 For example, a religious organization may require its employees to share its faith, or a women's shelter may hire only female counselors2 Option A is incorrect because questions about age are not prohibited by Title VII, but by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age3 The ADEA generally prohibits employers from asking applicants about their age or date of birth, unless age is a BFOQ or the inquiry is part of a lawful affirmative action plan3 Option B is incorrect because questions about a disability are not prohibited by Title VII, but by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which protects qualified individuals with disabilities from employment discrimination based on disability4 The ADA generally prohibits employers from asking applicants about whether they have a disability or the nature or severity of a disability, unless the inquiry is related to the ability to perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodation4 Option C is incorrect because questions about a national origin are prohibited by Title VII, but not in all circumstances. Title VII prohibits employers from asking applicants about their national origin, ancestry, birthplace, native language, or accent, unless they are BFOQs or the inquiry is related to a legitimate business purpose, such as verifying eligibility to work in the United States or assessing language proficiency for a job that requires communication skills25 Option D is correct because questions about intended pregnancy are prohibited by Title VII, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 (PDA), which protects women from employment discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. The PDA prohibits employers from asking applicants about whether they are pregnant or intend to become pregnant, unless they are related to the ability to perform the job. Such questions may indicate an intent to discriminate based on sex or pregnancy, or may deter women from applying for certain jobs.

NEW QUESTION # 95
What type of material is exempt from an individual's right to disclosure under the Privacy Act?
- A. Material reporting investigative efforts pertaining to the enforcement of criminal law.
- B. Material reporting investigative efforts to prevent unlawful persecution of an individual.
- C. Material requires by statute to be maintained and used solely for research purposes.
- D. Material used to determine potential collaboration with foreign governments in negotiation of trade deals.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Privacy Act allows agencies to exempt certain records from some of its provisions, including the right to disclosure, if the records fall within one of the categories specified in subsections (j) or (k) of the Act. One of these categories is records maintained by an agency or component thereof which performs as its principal function any activity pertaining to the enforcement of criminal laws, including police efforts to prevent, control, or reduce crime or to apprehend criminals, and the activities of prosecutors, courts, correctional, probation, pardon, or parole authorities, and which consists of (A) informationcompiled for the purpose of identifying individual criminal offenders and alleged offenders and consisting only of identifying data and notations of arrests, the nature and disposition of criminal charges, sentencing, confinement, release, and parole and probation status; (B) information compiled for the purpose of a criminal investigation, including reports of informants and investigators, and associated with an identifiable individual; or reports identifiable to an individual compiled at any stage of the process of enforcement of the criminal laws from arrest or indictment through release from supervision. 5 U.S.C. § 552a (j) (2). Therefore, material reporting investigative efforts pertaining to the enforcement of criminal law falls within this category and can be exempted from the right to disclosure under the Privacy Act.

NEW QUESTION # 96
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:
Matt went into his son's bedroom one evening and found him stretched out on his bed typing on his laptop.
"Doing your network?" Matt asked hopefully.
"No," the boy said. "I'm filling out a survey."
Matt looked over his son's shoulder at his computer screen. "What kind of survey?" "It's asking Questions about my opinions."
"Let me see," Matt said, and began reading the list of Questions that his son had already answered. "It's asking your opinions about the government and citizenship. That's a little odd. You're only ten." Matt wondered how the web link to the survey had ended up in his son's email inbox. Thinking the message might have been sent to his son by mistake he opened it and read it. It had come from an entity called the Leadership Project, and the content and the graphics indicated that it was intended for children. As Matt read further he learned that kids who took the survey were automatically registered in a contest to win the first book in a series about famous leaders.
To Matt, this clearly seemed like a marketing ploy to solicit goods and services to children. He asked his son if he had been prompted to give information about himself in order to take the survey. His son told him he had been asked to give his name, address, telephone number, and date of birth, and to answer Questions about his favorite games and toys.
Matt was concerned. He doubted if it was legal for the marketer to collect information from his son in the way that it was. Then he noticed several other commercial emails from marketers advertising products for children in his son's inbox, and he decided it was time to report the incident to the proper authorities.
How could the marketer have best changed its privacy management program to meet COPPA "Safe Harbor" requirements?
- A. By participating in an approved self-regulatory program
- B. By receiving FTC approval for the content of its emails
- C. By making a COPPA privacy notice available on website
- D. By regularly assessing the security risks to consumer privacy
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of children under 13 who use online sites and services. COPPA requires operators of such sites and services to obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children, and to provide notice of their information practices to parents and the public. COPPA also gives parents the right to access, review, and delete their children's personal information, and to limit further collection or use of such information.1 One way for operators to comply with COPPA is to participate in an approved self-regulatory program, also known as a "safe harbor" program. These are programs that are run by industry groups or other organizations that set and enforce standards for privacy protection that meet or exceed the requirements of COPPA.
Operators that join a safe harbor program and follow its guidelines are deemed to be in compliance with COPPA and are subject to the review and disciplinary procedures of the program instead of FTC enforcement actions. The FTC has approved several safe harbor programs, such as CARU, ESRB, iKeepSafe, kidSAFE, PRIVO, and TRUSTe.2 By participating in an approved self-regulatory program, the marketer in the scenario could have best changed its privacy management program to meet COPPA "Safe Harbor" requirements. This would mean that the marketer would have to adhere to the guidelines of the program, which would likely include obtaining verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children, providing clear and prominent privacy notices on its website and emails, honoring parents' choices and requests regarding their children's data, and ensuring the security and confidentiality of the data collected. The marketer would also benefit from the oversight and assistance of the program in ensuring compliance and resolving any complaints or disputes.3 References: 1: Complying with COPPA: Frequently Asked Questions4, Section A2: COPPA Safe Harbor Program3: IAPP CIPP/US Certified Information Privacy Professional Study Guide, page 143.
NEW QUESTION # 97
Which of the following best describes how federal anti-discrimination laws protect the privacy of private-sector employees in the United States?
- A. They limit the amount of time a potential employee can be interviewed.
- B. They prescribe working environments that are safe and comfortable.
- C. They limit the types of information that employers can collect about employees.
- D. They promote a workforce of employees with diverse skills and interests.

NEW QUESTION # 98
Which of the following privacy rights is NOT available under the Colorado Privacy Act?
- A. The right to access sensitive data.
- B. The right to correct sensitive data.
- C. The right to limit the use of sensitive data.
- D. The right to delete sensitive data.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) grants consumers the right to access, correct, or delete their personal data, including sensitive data, that is processed by a controller1. Sensitive data is defined as personal data that reveals racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, mental or physical health condition or diagnosis, sex life or sexual orientation, citizenship or citizenship status, genetic or biometric data, or personal data from a known child2. The CPA also grants consumers the right to opt out of the processing of their personal data for purposes of targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, or certain kinds of profiling3. However, the CPA does not grant consumers the right to limit the use of sensitive data for other purposes, such as providing a product or service requested by the consumer, complying with legal obligations, or protecting the vital interests of the consumer or another person. Therefore, option D is the correct answer, as it is not a privacy right available under the CPA.

NEW QUESTION # 99
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:
Declan has just started a job as a nursing assistant in a radiology department at Woodland Hospital. He has also started a program to become a registered nurse.
Before taking this career path, Declan was vaguely familiar with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). He now knows that he must help ensure the security of his patients' Protected Health Information (PHI). Therefore, he is thinking carefully about privacy issues.
On the morning of his first day, Declan noticed that the newly hired receptionist handed each patient a HIPAA privacy notice. He wondered if it was necessary to give these privacy notices to returning patients, and if the radiology department could reduce paper waste through a system of one-time distribution.
He was also curious about the hospital's use of a billing company. He Questioned whether the hospital was doing all it could to protect the privacy of its patients if the billing company had details about patients' care.
On his first day Declan became familiar with all areas of the hospital's large radiology department. As he was organizing equipment left in the halfway, he overheard a conversation between two hospital administrators. He was surprised to hear that a portable hard drive containing non-encrypted patient information was missing. The administrators expressed relief that the hospital would be able to avoid liability. Declan was surprised, and wondered whether the hospital had plans to properly report what had happened.
Despite Declan's concern about this issue, he was amazed by the hospital's effort to integrate Electronic Health Records (EHRs) into the everyday care of patients. He thought about the potential for streamlining care even more if they were accessible to all medical facilities nationwide.
Declan had many positive interactions with patients. At the end of his first day, he spoke to one patient, John, whose father had just been diagnosed with a degenerative muscular disease. John was about to get blood work done, and he feared that the blood work could reveal a genetic predisposition to the disease that could affect his ability to obtain insurance coverage. Declan told John that he did not think that was possible, but the patient was wheeled away before he could explain why. John plans to ask a colleague about this.
In one month, Declan has a paper due for one his classes on a health topic of his choice. By then, he will have had many interactions with patients he can use as examples. He will be pleased to give credit to John by name for inspiring him to think more carefully about genetic testing.
Although Declan's day ended with many Questions, he was pleased about his new position.
How can the radiology department address Declan's concern about paper waste and still comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)?
- A. State the privacy policy to the patient verbally
- B. Confirm that patients are given the privacy notice on their first visit
- C. Direct patients to the correct area of the hospital website
- D. Post the privacy notice in a prominent location instead
Answer: B
Explanation:
HIPAA requires covered entities to provide a notice of privacy practices (NPP) to individuals who receive health care services from the covered entity. The NPP must describe how the covered entity may use and disclose protected health information (PHI), the individual's rights with respect to their PHI, and the covered entity's obligations to protect the privacy of PHI. The NPP must be provided to the individual no later than the date of the first service delivery, either in person or electronically. The covered entity must also make the NPP available on request and post it on its website if it has one. The covered entity must also make a good faith effort to obtain a written acknowledgment from the individual that they received the NPP. If the individual refuses to sign the acknowledgment, the covered entity must document the attempt and the reason for the refusal.
The other options are not sufficient to comply with HIPAA. Stating the privacy policy verbally (option A) does not provide the individual with a written or electronic copy of the NPP that they can keep for future reference. Posting the privacy notice in a prominent location (option B) does not ensure that the individual receives the NPP or has an opportunity to review it before receiving services. Directing patients to the correct area of the hospital website (option C) does not provide the individual with the NPP at the time of service delivery, unless the individual agrees to receive the NPP electronically and has access to the website at that time.

NEW QUESTION # 100
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:
You are the chief privacy officer at HealthCo, a major hospital in a large U.S. city in state A.
HealthCo is a HIPAA-covered entity that provides healthcare services to more than 100,000 patients. A third-party cloud computing service provider, CloudHealth, stores and manages the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of these individuals on behalf of HealthCo. CloudHealth stores the data in state B.
As part of HealthCo's business associate agreement (BAA) with CloudHealth, HealthCo requires CloudHealth to implement security measures, including industry standard encryption practices, to adequately protect the data. However, HealthCo did not perform due diligence on CloudHealth before entering the contract, and has not conducted audits of CloudHealth's security measures.
A CloudHealth employee has recently become the victim of a phishing attack. When the employee unintentionally clicked on a link from a suspicious email, the PHI of more than 10,000 HealthCo patients was compromised. It has since been published online. The HealthCo cybersecurity team quickly identifies the perpetrator as a known hacker who has launched similar attacks on other hospitals - ones that exposed the PHI of public figures including celebrities and politicians.
During the course of its investigation, HealthCo discovers that CloudHealth has not encrypted the PHI in accordance with the terms of its contract. In addition, CloudHealth has not provided privacy or security training to its employees. Law enforcement has requested that HealthCo provide its investigative report of the breach and a copy of the PHI of the individuals affected.
A patient affected by the breach then sues HealthCo, claiming that the company did not adequately protect the individual's ePHI, and that he has suffered substantial harm as a result of the exposed data. The patient's attorney has submitted a discovery request for the ePHI exposed in the breach.
Of the safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule, which of the following is NOT at issue due to HealthCo's actions?
- A. Security Safeguards
- B. Administrative Safeguards
- C. Physical Safeguards
- D. Technical Safeguards
Answer: A

- B. Reject the request because the HIPAA privacy rule only permits disclosure for payment, treatment or healthcare operations
- C. Respond with a request for satisfactory assurances such as a qualified protective order
- D. Turn over all of the compromised patient records to the plaintiff's attorney
Answer: C
Explanation:
The HIPAA privacy rule establishes national standards to protect individuals' medical records and other individually identifiable health information (collectively defined as "protected health information") and applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically (collectively defined as "covered entities")1 The rule requires appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of protected health information and sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without an individual's authorization1 The rule also gives individuals rights over their protected health information, including rights to examine and obtain a copy of their health records, to direct a covered entity to transmit to a third party an electronic copy of their protected health information in an electronic health record, and to request corrections1 The HIPAA privacy rule permits a covered entity to disclose protected health information for the litigation in response to a court order, subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process, provided the applicable requirements of 45 CFR 164.512 (e) for disclosures for judicial and administrative proceedings are met2 These requirements include:
* In response to a court order or administrative tribunal order, the covered entity may disclose only the protected health information expressly authorized by such order2
* In response to a subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process that is not accompanied by a court order or administrative tribunal order, the covered entity must receive satisfactory assurances that the party seeking the information has made reasonable efforts to ensure that the individual who is the subject of the information has been given notice of the request, or that the party seeking the information has made reasonable efforts to secure a qualified protective order2
* A qualified protective order is an order of a court or administrative tribunal or a stipulation by the parties to the litigation or administrative proceeding that prohibits the parties from using or disclosing the protected health information for any purpose other than the litigation or proceeding for which such information was requested andrequires the return to the covered entity or destruction of the protected health information (including all copies made) at the end of the litigation or proceeding2 Option A is incorrect because the HIPAA privacy rule does not only permit disclosure for payment, treatment or healthcare operations. The rule also allows disclosure for other purposes, such as public health, research, law enforcement, judicial and administrative proceedings, as long as the applicable conditions and limitations are met1 Option B is correct because it is consistent with the HIPAA privacy rule's requirement for disclosures for judicial and administrative proceedings. By responding with a request for satisfactory assurances such as a qualified protective order, HealthCo is ensuring that the protected health information will be used only for the litigation and will be returned or destroyed afterwards2 Option C is incorrect because it is not consistent with the HIPAA privacy rule's requirement for disclosures for judicial and administrative proceedings. By turning over all of the compromised patient records to the plaintiff's attorney, HealthCo is disclosing more information than necessary and may violate the privacy rights of other individuals who are not parties to the lawsuit2 Option D is incorrect because it is not consistent with the HIPAA privacy rule's requirement for disclosures for judicial and administrative proceedings. By responding with a redacted document only relative to the plaintiff, HealthCo is not providing satisfactory assurances that the protected health information will be used only for the litigation and will be returned or destroyed afterwards2 References: 1: Summary of the HIPAA Privacy Rule | HHS.gov 2: May a covered entity use or disclose protected health information for litigation? | HHS.gov

If an organization maintains data classified as high sensitivity in the same system as data classified as low sensitivity, which of the following is the most likely outcome?
- A. The organization will be able to address legal discovery requests efficiently without producing more information than necessary.
- B. The organization will still be in compliance with most sector-specific privacy and security laws.
- C. Temporary employees will be able to find the data necessary to fulfill their responsibilities.
- D. The impact of an organizational data breach will be more severe than if the data had been segregated.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Data classification is the process of categorizing data based on its sensitivity and importance to determine its level of confidentiality and protection. Data classification helps organizations apply appropriate security and compliance measures to ensure each category receives proper protection1. Data classification also helps organizations identify which data is subject to specific privacylaws and regulations, such as the GDPR, HIPAA, or CCPA, and how to handle data subject requests, data breaches, or legal discovery2. If an organization maintains data classified as high sensitivity, such as personal information, financial information, or health information, in the same system as data classified as low sensitivity, such as public information or internal information, it increases the risk of exposing the high sensitivity data in the event of a data breach. A data breach can result in legal consequences, reputational damage, and loss of trust from customers and stakeholders. Therefore, it is advisable to segregate data based on its classification and apply different levels of encryption, access control, and monitoring to each category3. This way, the organization can minimize the impact of a data breach and protect the privacy and security of its data assets. References:

NEW QUESTION # 104
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:
Larry has become increasingly dissatisfied with his telemarketing position at SunriseLynx, and particularly with his supervisor, Evan. Just last week, he overheard Evan mocking the state's Do Not Call list, as well as the people on it. "If they were really serious about not being bothered," Evan said, "They'd be on the national DNC list. That's the only one we're required to follow. At SunriseLynx, we call until they ask us not to." Bizarrely, Evan requires telemarketers to keep records of recipients who ask them to call "another time." This, to Larry, is a clear indication that they don't want to be called at all. Evan doesn't see it that way.
Larry believes that Evan's arrogance also affects the way he treats employees. The U.S. Constitution protects American workers, and Larry believes that the rights of those at SunriseLynx are violated regularly. At first Evan seemed friendly, even connecting with employees on social media. However, following Evan's political posts, it became clear to Larry that employees with similar affiliations were the only ones offered promotions.
Further, Larry occasionally has packages containing personal-use items mailed to work. Several times, these have come to him already opened, even though this name was clearly marked. Larry thinks the opening of personal mail is common at SunriseLynx, and that Fourth Amendment rights are being trampled under Evan's leadership.
Larry has also been dismayed to overhear discussions about his coworker, Sadie. Telemarketing calls are regularly recorded for quality assurance, and although Sadie is always professional during business, her personal conversations sometimes contain sexual comments. This too is something Larry has heard Evan laughing about. When he mentioned this to a coworker, his concern was met with a shrug. It was the coworker's belief that employees agreed to be monitored when they signed on. Although personal devices are left alone, phone calls, emails and browsing histories are all subject to surveillance. In fact, Larry knows of one case in which an employee was fired after an undercover investigation by an outside firm turned up evidence of misconduct. Although the employee may have stolen from the company, Evan could have simply contacted the authorities when he first suspected something amiss.
Larry wants to take action, but is uncertain how to proceed.
Based on the way he uses social media, Evan is susceptible to a lawsuit based on?
- A. Publicity given to private life
- B. Defamation
- C. Intrusion upon seclusion
- D. Discrimination
Answer: D
Explanation:
Discrimination is the unfair or prejudicial treatment of people based on certain characteristics, such as race, gender, age, religion, or political affiliation. Discrimination can occur in various contexts, such as employment, education, housing, or public accommodations. Discrimination can violate federal, state, or local laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of protected categories. In the scenario, Evan is susceptible to a lawsuit based on discrimination because he uses social media to favor employees who share his political views and deny promotions to those who do not. This could constitute political discrimination, which is prohibited by some state and local laws, such as the District of Columbia Human Rights Act and the New York City Human Rights Law. Additionally, Evan's use of social media could reveal other protected characteristics of his employees, such as their race, gender, age, religion, or sexual orientation, and expose him to claims of discrimination based on those grounds as well. For example, if Evan posts derogatory comments about a certain race or religion, and then denies a promotion to an employee of that race or religion, that employee could sue Evan for discrimination under federal laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Civil Rights Act of 1991.

NEW QUESTION # 105
SCENARIO
Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION :
Declan has just started a job as a nursing assistant in a radiology department at Woodland Hospital. He has also started a program to become a registered nurse.
Before taking this career path, Declan was vaguely familiar with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). He now knows that he must help ensure the security of his patients' Protected Health Information (PHI). Therefore, he is thinking carefully about privacy issues.
On the morning of his first day, Declan noticed that the newly hired receptionist handed each patient a HIPAA privacy notice. He wondered if it was necessary to give these privacy notices to returning patients, and if the radiology department could reduce paper waste through a system of one-time distribution.
He was also curious about the hospital's use of a billing company. He questioned whether the hospital was doing all it could to protect the privacy of its patients if the billing company had details about patients' care.
On his first day Declan became familiar with all areas of the hospital's large radiology department. As he was organizing equipment left in the halfway, he overheard a conversation between two hospital administrators. He was surprised to hear that a portable hard drive containing non-encrypted patient information was missing. The administrators expressed relief that the hospital would be able to avoid liability. Declan was surprised, and wondered whether the hospital had plans to properly report what had happened.
Despite Declan's concern about this issue, he was amazed by the hospital's effort to integrate Electronic Health Records (EHRs) into the everyday care of patients. He thought about the potential for streamlining care even more if they were accessible to all medical facilities nationwide.
Declan had many positive interactions with patients. At the end of his first day, he spoke to one patient, John, whose father had just been diagnosed with a degenerative muscular disease. John was about to get blood work done, and he feared that the blood work could reveal a genetic predisposition to the disease that could affect his ability to obtain insurance coverage. Declan told John that he did not think that was possible, but the patient was wheeled away before he could explain why. John plans to ask a colleague about this.
In one month, Declan has a paper due for one his classes on a health topic of his choice. By then, he will have had many interactions with patients he can use as examples. He will be pleased to give credit to John by name for inspiring him to think more carefully about genetic testing.
Although Declan's day ended with many QUESTIONS, he was pleased about his new position.
What is the most likely way that Declan might directly violate the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)?
- A. By following through with his plans for his upcoming paper
- B. By ignoring the conversation about a potential breach
- C. By speaking to a patient without prior authorization
- D. By being present when patients are checking in
Answer: A
Explanation:
"Other than for treatment, covered entities must make reasonable efforts to limit the use and disclosure of PHI to the minimum necessary in order to accomplish the intended purpose." He isn't involved in the potential breach, which is why he isn't trained for it, and doesn't know all the facts of the situation. He has not obligation doesn't need to investigate any further based on anything that he heard.
NEW QUESTION # 106
Which of the following statements is most accurate in regard to data breach notifications under federal and state laws:
- A. You must notify the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in addition to affected individuals if over 500 individuals are receiving notice.
- B. When providing an individual with required notice of a data breach, you must identify what personal information was actually or likely compromised.
- C. The only obligations to provide data breach notification are under state law because currently there is no federal law or regulation requiring notice for the breach of personal information.
- D. When you are required to provide an individual with notice of a data breach under any state's law, you must provide the individual with an offer for free credit monitoring.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Data breach notification laws in the United States vary by state and territory, and there is no comprehensive federal law that applies to all types of personal information. Some federal laws, such as HIPAA, GLBA, and the FDIC rule, impose data breach notification requirements for specific industries or sectors, but they do not cover all types of personal information or all entities that collect, store, or process such information. Therefore, the only obligations to provide data breach notification for the breach of personal information are under state law, unless a specific federal law applies to the entity or the information involved. The other statements are incorrect because:
* A. You do not have to notify the FTC in addition to affected individuals if over 500 individuals are receiving notice, unless you are a health care entity subject to HIPAA, in which case you have to notify the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) within 60 days of the breach.
* B. When providing an individual with required notice of a data breach, you do not have to identify what personal information was actually or likely compromised, unless the state law requires you to do so.
Some states, such as California, require the notice to include the types of personal information that were or are reasonably believed to have been the subject of the breach, while others, such as Alabama, do not specify the content of the notice.
* C. When you are required to provide an individual with notice of a data breach under any state's law, you do not have to provide the individual with an offer for free credit monitoring, unless the state law requires you to do so. Some states, such as Connecticut, require the offer of appropriate identity theft prevention and mitigation services for at least 12 months, while others, such as Arizona, do not impose such a requirement.
