Which statement best reflects privacy practices for CPOs?

Privacy practices for CPOs hinge on confidentiality and data minimization. Treat information about individuals as confidential, collect only what you need to perform your duties, use it solely for that purpose, and follow applicable privacy laws and the facility’s policies. Share information only with people who have a legitimate need to know and proper authorization. This approach protects individuals’ rights, helps maintain public and workplace trust, and keeps you compliant with legal and organizational rules. Choices that suggest sharing information with all staff, collecting more than necessary, or ignoring privacy laws and policies would increase risk, breach trust, and violate regulations. This is why handling information in this careful, need-to-know, legally compliant way is the best practice.
