Answer Key and Explanations
Check these only after attempting every question.
1. B - the user's input and whatever you retrieved
That makes the log store a second copy of both, usually with broader access than the primary one.
2. B - in a nightly cleanup job
A log capturing raw content with a plan to clean it later is personal data with a plan attached.
3. B - a customer writing their own name and address in free text
Which is why retention limits and access control are not optional alongside it.
4. B - per field
One policy forces you to over-retain the sensitive part in order to keep aggregate metrics.
5. B - your provider's terms
Read them before writing the notice, and check again when you change provider.
Practical Check
Apply this module to your own work: complete the module activity for *Privacy, Logging and Safe Deployment Boundaries*, then write one sentence naming what your result shows and one naming what it does not.
Strong Answer Pattern
A strong answer names the task, the evidence used, the check performed, and the remaining limitation. It avoids "proved", "guaranteed", or "always" unless the evidence genuinely supports it.
