Question 2

SCENARIO -

Please use the following to answer the next questions:

Your company is launching a new track and trace health app during the outbreak of a virus pandemic in the US. The developers claim the app is based on privacy by design because personal data collected was considered to ensure only necessary data is captured, users are presented with a privacy notice, and they are asked to give consent before data is shared. Users can update their consent after logging into an account, through a dedicated privacy and consent hub. This is accessible through the ‘Settings’ icon from any app page then clicking ‘My Preferences’, and selecting ‘Information Sharing and Consent’ where the following choices are displayed:

• “I consent to receive notifications and infection alerts”;

• “I consent to receive information on additional features or services and new products”;

• “I consent to sharing only my risk result and location information for exposure and contact tracing purposes”;

• “I consent to share my data for medical research purposes”; and

• “I consent to share my data with healthcare providers affiliated to the company”.

For each choice, an ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ tab is available The default setting is ‘ON’ for all. Users purchase a virus screening service for USS29.99 for themselves or others using the app. The virus screening service works as follows:

• Step 1: A photo of the user’s face is taken

• Step 2: The user measures their temperature and adds the reading in the app

• Step 3: The user is asked to read sentences so that a voice analysis can detect symptoms

• Step 4: The user is asked to answer questions on known symptoms

• Step 5: The user can input information on family members (name, date of birth, citizenship, home address, phone number, email and relationship).

The results are displayed as one of the following risk status “Low”, “Medium” or “High”. If the user is deemed at "Medium" or "High" risk an alert may be sent to other users, and the user is invited to seek a medical consultation and diagnostic from a healthcare provider.

A user's risk status also feeds a world map for contact tracing purposes, where users are able to check if they have been or are in close proximity of an infected person. If a user has come in contact with another individual classified as ‘medium’ or ‘high’ risk, an instant notification also alerts the user of this. The app collects location trails of every user to monitor locations visited by an infected individual. Location is collected using the phone’s GPS functionality, whether the app is in use or not however the exact location of the user is “blurred’ for privacy reasons. Users can only see on the map circles with a 12-feet radius (approximately 4 meters wide), which is double the recommended distance for social distancing.

Which of the following pieces of information collected is the LEAST likely to be justified for the purposes of the app?

A : Relationship of family member

B : Phone number

C : Dale of birth

D : Citizenship

Answer: D

Question 3

SCENARIO -

Please use the following to answer the next question:

Light Blue Health (LBH) is a healthcare technology company developing a new web and mobile application that collects personal health information from electronic patient health records. The application will use machine learning to recommend potential medical treatments and medications based on information collected from anonymized electronic health records. Patient users may also share health data collected from other mobile apps with the LBH app.

The application requires consent from the patient before importing electronic health records into the application and sharing it with their authorized physicians or healthcare provider. The patient can then review and share the recommended treatments with their physicians securely through the app. The patient user may also share location data and upload photos in the app. The patient user may also share location data and upload photos in the app for a healthcare provider to review along with the health record. The patient may also delegate access to the app.

LBH’s privacy team meets with the Application development and Security teams, as well as key business stakeholders on a periodic basis. LBH also implements Privacy by Design (PbD) into the application development process.

The Privacy Team is conducting a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to evaluate privacy risks during development of the application. The team must assess whether the application is collecting descriptive, demographic or any other user related data from the electronic health records that are not needed for the purposes of the application. The team is also reviewing whether the application may collect additional personal data for purposes for which the user did not provide consent.

What is the best way to minimize the potential harms from a data breach?

A : Dissociate the patient health data from the personal data

B : Employ Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to access the app

C : Exclude the collection of personal information from the health record

D : Ensure that all files collected by the app and stored on the device are password-protected

Answer: B
