Practice question: Personal vs. Sensitive Personal Information

Multiple Choice Easy

Practice question

Must information be recorded in a material form before it can be personal information under Section 3(g)?
  1. Yes; only notarized paper can qualify.
  2. Yes; spoken identifying information is categorically excluded.
  3. No; the definition expressly covers information whether recorded in material form or not, if its identification conditions are met.
  4. Yes; only a government-certified spreadsheet can qualify.
  5. No, because every nonidentifying fact automatically becomes sensitive.
