Exam Tip – Data Lifecycle Mention privacy compliance at all stages – collection, storage, use, sharing, and disposal.
Exam Tip – Common Mistake Don’t mix APPs (federal) with IPPs/HPPs (state) in your answers – link each to the correct context.
Exam Tip – Example Line “Under IPP 4 of the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014, organisations must secure personal data using encryption and access controls.”
