ProStorage is a multinational cloud storage provider headquartered in the Netherlands. Its CEO, Ruth Brown, has developed a two-pronged strategy for growth: 1) expand ProStorage's global customer base and 2) increase ProStorage's sales force by efficiently onboarding effective teams. Enacting this strategy has recently been complicated by Ruth's health condition, which has limited her working hours, as well as her ability to travel to meet potential customers. ProStorage's Human Resources department and Ruth's Chief of Staff now work together to manage her schedule and ensure that she is able to make all her medical appointments. The latter has become especially crucial after Ruth's last trip to India, where she suffered a medical emergency and was hospitalized in New Delhi. Unable to reach Ruth's family, the hospital reached out to ProStorage and was able to connect with her Chief of Staff, who in coordination with Mary, the head of HR, provided information to the doctors based on accommodation requests Ruth made when she started at ProStorage.

In support of Ruth's strategic goals of hiring more sales representatives, the Human Resources team is focused on improving its processes to ensure that new employees are sourced, interviewed, hired, and on boarded efficiently. To help with this, Mary identified two vendors, HRYourWay, a German based company, and InstaHR, an Australian based company. She decided to have both vendors go through ProStorage's vendor risk review process so she can work with Ruth to make the final decision. As part of the review process, Jackie, who is responsible for maintaining ProStorage's privacy program (including maintaining controller BCRs and conducting vendor risk assessments), reviewed both vendors but completed a transfer impact assessment only for InstaHR. After her review of both vendors, she determined that InstaHR satisfied more of the requirements as it boasted a more established privacy program and provided third-party attestations, whereas HRYourWay was a small vendor with minimal data protection operations. Thus, she recommended InstaHR.

ProStorage's marketing team also worked to meet the strategic goals of the company by focusing on industries where it needed to grow its market share. To help with this, the team selected as a partner UpFinance. a US based company with deep connections to financial industry customers. During ProStorage's diligence process, Jackie from the privacy team noted in the transfer impact assessment that UpFinance implements several data protection measures including end-lo-end encryption, with encryption keys held by the customer. Notably, UpFinance has not received any government requests in its 7 years of business. Still, Jackie recommended that the contract require UpFinance to notify ProStorage if it receives a government request for personal data UpFinance processes on its behalf prior to disclosing such data.

What transfer mechanism should Jackie recommend for using InstaHR?

Please use the following to answer the next question:

Financially, it has been a very good year at ARRA Hotels: Their 21 hotels, located in Greece (5), Italy (15) and Spain (1), have registered their most profitable results ever. To celebrate this achievement, ARRA Hotels' Human Resources office, based in ARRA's main Italian establishment, has organized a team event for its 420 employees and their families at its hotel in Spain.

Upon arrival at the hotel, each employee and family member is given an electronic wristband at the reception desk. The wristband serves a number of functions:

• Allows access to the "party zone" of the hotel, and emits a buzz if the user approaches any unauthorized areas

• Allows up to three free drinks for each person of legal age, and emits a buzz once this limit has been reached

• Grants a unique ID number for participating in the games and contests that have been planned.

Along with the wristband, each guest receives a QR code that leads to the online privacy notice describing the use of the wristband. The page also contains an unchecked consent checkbox. In the case of employee family members under the age of 16, consent must be given by a parent.

Among the various activities planned for the event, ARRA Hotels' HR office has autonomously set up a photocall area, separate from the main event venue, where employees can come and have their pictures taken in traditional carnival costume. The photos will be posted on ARRA Hotels' main website for general marketing purposes.

On the night of the event, an employee from one of ARRA's Greek hotels is displeased with the results of the photos in which he appears. He intends to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority in regard to the following:

• The lack of any privacy notice in the separate photocall area

• The unlawful cross-border processing of his personal data

• The unacceptable aesthetic outcome of his photos

Which of the following is NOT necessarily considered a factor in identifying whether the processing could be considered a "cross-border processing"?

An online company's privacy practices vary due to the fact that it offers a wide variety of services. How could it best address the concern that explaining them all would make the policies incomprehensible?

What is the primary purpose of Convention 108+, which amends the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data?
