QuestionQ128

Privacy Operational Lifecycle: Assess

After liquidation, for which purpose would a company that acquired assets need separate consent from a data subject to retain personally identifiable data?

  • A For tax purposes.
  • B For analytical purposes.
  • C To be able to ensure payment of pension funds.
  • D To secure employment benefits for former employees.
Explanation

Tax compliance, pension payments, and former employees’ benefits can justify retaining personal data under legal, contractual, or employment-related obligations. Analytics is a distinct secondary use, so retaining identifiable data for that purpose requires its own valid lawful basis; when relying on consent, that consent must be specific to the analytical purpose.
