Practice question
A file contains only a corporation’s aggregate monthly sales totals and years since incorporation. No natural person is identified or reasonably identifiable from it or by combining it with other information held by the entity. A reviewer claims the corporate age alone necessarily makes it sensitive information about an individual’s age. Which is the best classification answer?
- A corporation’s age automatically is every shareholder’s personal age.
- The stipulated absence of identifiable individual information defeats that personal-information classification; corporate age is not itself an individual’s age.
- Every corporate aggregate is automatically an individual medical record.
- The reviewer can establish identifiability simply by naming the file sensitive.
- All information in any filing system is necessarily sensitive personal information.
