Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 402 discussion

Data collector isnt in the comptia objectives, data owner seems like the best option

D. Data collector

B - Dion Training Sec+701 has Data Processor defined as "A group or individual hired by the data controller to assist with tasks like data collection and processing", Dion Training for 601 does not have this role. Neither training guides have data collector.

Data Owner – the entity that collects/creates the PII and is legally responsible and accountable for protecting it and educating others about how to protect the data through dissemination of intellectual property rights documentation, policies and regulatory requirements, specific protective measures that are expected of custodians, and compliance requirements. Data Controller – same as data owner when a true data owner does not exist. Data Processor – typically an entity that works under the direction of the owner/controller, such as an IT department. Data Custodian – the role within the processing entity (IT department) that handles the data daily. Data Steward – a newer concept related to users of the data; those who use the data for the business purpose.

• Data processor – Processes data on behalf of the data controller – Often a third-party or different group Professor Messor note

A data processor is an entity that processes data on behalf of the data controller (the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data). In this scenario, the company collecting user information through its website is indeed processing that data, even though it's not using the information itself but passing it to a marketing business. Therefore, both options D (Data collector) and B (Data processor) are relevant in this scenario. The company is collecting user information (data collector) and processing it on behalf of the marketing business (data processor). However, in the context of the scenario provided, the term "data collector" seems to specifically address the action of collecting data, which is the primary role of the company in this situation. Therefore, option D might be considered a slightly more specific choice in this scenario. But it's also accurate to consider the company as a data processor.

B data processor - A data processor is an entity that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller, typically following the instructions provided by the data controller. In this case, the company is collecting user information through its website and processing it for the marketing business, indicating a data processing role rather than being the owner or the direct user of the data.

Data Processor ■ A group or individual hired by the data controller to assist with tasks like data collection and processing

A. Data Owner. The company launching the website to capture user information for the marketing business is the: A. Data owner The marketing business that will use the information is the: B. Data processor

**Data owner**: Ultimately responsible for the data and how it's used. - **Data processor**: Handles and processes data on behalf of the data owner. - **Data steward**: Manages and ensures the quality of data. - **Data collector**: Gathers data for specific purposes, like marketing.

So here is the Questions Key Give Away. A company is capturing user information that a marketing business can use. The company itself will not be using the information. So a Data Processor (A company) Acts on Behalf of the Controller (Marketing Business) A company ( Data Processor) can be told by the Marketing Business what to do with the Data. The Data Processor can not decide what to Collect. They also can not decide what the data is used for. So not being able to Use the Data themselves. The Controller requests and the Processor Executes the request to the controller's satisfaction.

the correct option and god I hope this question is not graded because Ugh...

The company is collecting data to sell it to a Marketing company. The company owns the data before they sell it.

I go with D : Data collector seems to be the most appropriate that ties with the scenario described in the question. The key phrase in the question is " in order to capture". Capturing information has a lot to do with collecting information. The next suitable response is 'Data Owner' , however the phrase capturing makes D MOST COMPATIBLE

The company is assuming the role of a Data Processor. In the context of data protection legislation, a data processor is a third party that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller (in this case, the marketing business). The data processor does not use the data for its own purposes. So, in this scenario, the company launching the website to capture user information for the marketing business would be considered a data processor.

Data Owner is responsible for determining the classification level of the data. Data Custodian/Steward is responsible for implementing the data classification and security controls based on the classification determined by the data owner. Data Controller (GDPR) is a person or entity that determines the purposes and means of personal data processing. Data Processor (GDPR) is an individual who processes personal data on behalf of the data controller. In the scenario where the company is launching a website to collect user information for a marketing business but does not intend to use the information itself, the company is not directly involved in determining the purposes and means of personal data processing (which is the role of the Data Controller), and it is not simply implementing data classification and security controls (the role of the Data Custodian). Instead, it is primarily involved in collecting and providing user data to a marketing business. In this context, the company's role aligns more closely with that of a Data Processor as defined by the GDPR.
