QuestionQ249

Foundational Principles

Which of the following is most likely the most significant issue with the options displayed on the ‘Information Sharing and Consent’ pages?

  • A Options for allowing location sharing are not provided
  • B Allowing users to share risk result information is not properly defined
  • C The data and recipients for medical research are not specified
  • D The sharing of information with an affiliated healthcare provider is not secure
Explanation

Consent for medical-research sharing must be specific and informed. It should identify the relevant data and the recipients or controllers that will rely on the consent; a broad, unspecified authorization for medical research does not provide that information. Official ICO consent guidance requires disclosure of the processing purpose, activities, and the names of other controllers relying on consent.
