SCENARIO

Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:

A US-based startup company is selling a new gaming application. One day, the CEO of the company receives

an urgent letter from a prominent EU-based retail partner. Triggered by an unresolved complaint lodged by an

EU resident, the letter describes an ongoing investigation by a supervisory authority into the retailer’s data

handling practices.

The complainant accuses the retailer of improperly disclosing her personal data, without consent, to parties in

the United States. Further, the complainant accuses the EU-based retailer of failing to respond to her

withdrawal of consent and request for erasure of her personal data. Your organization, the US-based startup

company, was never informed of this request for erasure by the EU-based retail partner. The supervisory

authority investigating the complaint has threatened the suspension of data flows if the parties involved do not

cooperate with the investigation. The letter closes with an urgent request: “Please act immediately by

identifying all personal data received from our company.”

This is an important partnership. Company executives know that its biggest fans come from Western Europe;

and this retailer is primarily responsible for the startup’s rapid market penetration.

As the Company’s data privacy leader, you are sensitive to the criticality of the relationship with the retailer.

Upon review, the data privacy leader discovers that the Company’s documented data inventory is obsolete.

A : Reports on recent purchase histories

B : Database schemas held by the retailer

C : Lists of all customers, sorted by country
