MCB Data Cloud Certification Practice Exam

What should a consultant inform a customer regarding data deletion requests for the right to be forgotten?

1. Data deletion requests are processed within 1 hour.

2. Data deletion requests are reprocessed at 30, 60, and 90 days.

3. Data deletion requests are submitted for individual profiles.

4. Data deletion requests submitted to Data Cloud are passed to all connected Salesforce clouds.

The correct answer is: Data deletion requests are submitted for individual profiles.

The statement that data deletion requests are submitted for individual profiles highlights an essential aspect of managing personal data within the framework of data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Under the right to be forgotten, individuals have the power to request the deletion of their personal data, and this request typically needs to be tied to specific profiles or accounts. By focusing on individual profiles, this process ensures that data deletion is precise and targeted, reducing the risk of inadvertently affecting data that does not require deletion. It acknowledges that individuals may have unique data sets associated with them, and therefore, requires a careful approach to ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards in data management. While the other options address aspects of data deletion processes, they do not emphasize the importance of targeting individual profiles in compliance with the right to be forgotten. This nuanced understanding is critical for consultants to effectively communicate with customers about their responsibilities and options regarding data deletion requests.
