Authority and Purpose is the expansion for which privacy control?

• A. AP privacy control
• B. AR privacy control
• C. DI privacy control
• D. PL-5 privacy control

Answer: (A)

Authority and Purpose focuses on ensuring that data collection and processing are authorized and used only for the stated purposes. In this privacy-control scheme, the label AP is the designation for that control. It ties together who has the authority to collect or process data and why the data is being collected, so activities aren’t conducted beyond the approved purpose. This helps enforce legitimate, purpose-bound processing and supports accountability to data subjects. Other controls cover different aspects—data integrity, policy-related governance, etc.—which do not capture the authorization-and-purpose idea. So Authority and Purpose is the AP privacy control.
