Question

Options

• Aspecific data fields used to identify trademarked or proprietary data.
• Bdata fields required to respond to a potential customer RFI.
• Cnames, addresses, and business information covered by an NDA.
• Dinformation unique enough to identify an employee definitively.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  87% (33)
• D
  8% (3)

Explanation

Privacy standards protect personally identifiable information (PII) and any information bound by contractual confidentiality agreements. Option C is correct because names, addresses, and business information covered by an NDA create a dual prohibition: privacy law protects the personal data, and the NDA creates a contractual obligation of non-disclosure. Option D is a common distractor - while information that uniquely identifies an employee (PII) is also protected, C is more precise because it explicitly ties the prohibition to a formal legal instrument (the NDA) recognized universally in privacy frameworks. Options A and B describe categories of data with different legal protections (IP law and business operations, respectively) that are not the primary focus of privacy standards.
