Explanation
By publicly disclosing exactly what personal data is being collected and how it is gathered, the organization is applying the principle of Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency. Transparency requires that individuals are clearly informed about the nature of data collection - which is precisely what this notice accomplishes. Option A (system use requirements) is not a recognized data protection principle. Option B (data integrity and confidentiality) relates to protecting accuracy and security of data, not disclosing collection practices. Option D (data use limitation / purpose limitation) restricts how collected data may be used, but the scenario focuses on the act of disclosing what is being collected, which is a transparency obligation under the lawfulness and fairness principle.
