CIPP-US Dumps With Exact Questions and Answers

According to the Privacy Shield Principles, an organization that self-certifies under the Privacy Shield Framework must provide individuals with the choice to opt out of the disclosure of their personal information to a third party or the use of their personal information for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. To facilitate this choice, the organization must inform the individual of the type or identity of the third parties to which it discloses personal information and the purposes for which it does so. The organization must also provide a readily available and affordable independent recourse mechanism to investigate and resolve complaints and disputes regarding its compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles. If the organization transfers personal information to a third party acting as an agent, it must ensure that the agent provides at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles and that it takes reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the agent effectively processes the personal information transferred in a manner consistent with the organization’s obligations under the Privacy Shield Principles. References:

The FTC alleged that Google violated its own privacy policies, engaged in deceptive trade practices, and failed to comply with Safe Harbor principles when it launched Google Buzz, a social networking service that automatically enrolled Gmail users and exposed their email contacts and other personal information without their consent or control. The FTC did not allege that Google failed to employ sufficient security safeguards, although it did require Google to implement a comprehensive privacy program and submit to regular privacy audits as part of the settlement. The other statements are incorrect because:

• A. Violated its own privacy policies: The FTC alleged that Google violated its own privacy policies by using information collected from Gmail users for a purpose that wasincompatible with the purpose for which the information was collected, without obtaining their affirmative consent. Google’s privacy policy stated that "When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration, we ask you to provide personal information. If we use this information in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected, then we will ask for your consent prior to such use."1
• B. Engaged in deceptive trade practices: The FTC alleged that Google engaged in deceptive trade practices by misrepresenting the extent to which consumers could exercise control over the collection, use, and sharing of their personal information through Google Buzz. For example, Google offered consumers the option to decline or turn off Google Buzz, but the option was ineffective and did not fully remove the consumer from the social network. Google also misled consumers about how their email contacts would be treated on Google Buzz, and failed to disclose that certain information, such as the user’s frequent email contacts, would be made public by default.1
• C. Failed to comply with Safe Harbor principles: The FTC alleged that Google failed to comply with the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework, which provides a method for U.S. companies to transfer personal data from the European Union to the United States in a way that meets EU data protection requirements. Google had self-certified to the Department of Commerce that it adhered to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles, which include notice, choice, access, and enforcement. The FTC alleged that Google’s conduct violated the notice and choice principles, as well as the requirement to adhere to the Safe Harbor FAQs.1 References: FTC Charges Deceptive Privacy Practices in Google’s Rollout of Its Buzz Social Network, Google, Inc., In the Matter of, Google settles with FTC over Buzz; Privacy policies to be audited for two decades, Google Settles FTC Complaint over Google Buzz Privacy

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law that provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for certain family and medical reasons, such as the birth or adoption of a child,the serious health condition of the employee or a family member, or a qualifying exigency arising from the employee’s spouse, child, or parent being on covered active duty or call to covered active duty status in the Armed Forces. The FMLA also provides eligible employees with up to 26 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year to care for a covered service member with a serious injury or illness if the employee is the spouse, child, parent, or next of kin of the service member. The FMLA applies to all public agencies, including state, local, and federal employers, and local education agencies (schools), and to private sector employers who employ 50 or more employees for at least 20 workweeks in the current or preceding calendar year.

The FMLA often requires employers to collect medical information from employees who request FMLA leave or from their health care providers to certify the need for leave, the duration of leave, and the employee’s ability to return to work. The FMLA regulations specify the type and amount of information that employers may request and require for different types of FMLA leave, such as:

• Basic medical facts, such as the diagnosis, symptoms, hospitalization, doctor visits, whether medication has been prescribed, and any referrals for evaluation or treatment, for the employee’s own serious health condition or that of a family member.
• Information on the medical necessity of intermittent leave or reduced schedule leave and the expected frequency and duration of such leave, for the employee’s own serious health condition or that of a family member, or for planned medical treatment.
• A statement of the facts regarding the qualifying exigency, such as the type of military duty, the dates of the covered active duty, and the contact information of the military member, for leave due to a qualifying exigency arising from the employee’s spouse, child, or parent being on covered active duty or call to covered active duty status in the Armed Forces.
• Information on the medical condition, treatment, and recovery of the covered service member, such as the date of injury or onset of illness, the current medical status, the prognosis, and the estimated time of treatment, for leave to care for a covered service member with a serious injury or illness.

The FMLA also imposes certain obligations on employers to protect the privacy and security of the medical information they collect from employees or their health care providers. For example, employers must:

• Maintain records and documents relating to medical certifications, recertifications, or medical histories of employees or employees’ family members as confidential medical records in separate files/records from the usual personnel files, and if the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies, such records must be maintained in conformance with ADA confidentiality requirements.
• Ensure that any electronic systems used to maintain such records meet the confidentiality requirements of the FMLA and the ADA, and that only authorized persons have access to such records.
• Limit the disclosure of such records to supervisors and managers who need to know about an employee’s FMLA leave, first aid and safety personnel when an employee’s medical condition might require emergency treatment, and government officials investigating compliance with the FMLA.
• Comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule when requesting medical information from an employee’s health care provider, such as obtaining a valid authorization from the employee or using a HIPAA-compliant certification form.
• Refrain from requesting more information than allowed by the FMLA regulations, such as asking for an employee’s complete medical records or information unrelated to the FMLA leave request.
• Respect the employee’s right to revoke a medical authorization or challenge a medical certification, and follow the procedures for resolving disputes over the validity or sufficiency of such documents.
