Question 2

What is authentication?

  1. Making something look authentic
  2. The process of verifying the identity of a user or system
  3. Encrypting data
  4. Backing up user data

Question 6

What is GDPR?

  1. General Data Processing Rules
  2. General Data Protection Regulation (EU privacy law)
  3. Global Database Performance Rating
  4. Government Digital Privacy Requirements

The correct answer is B.

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation, a comprehensive privacy law in the European Union that regulates how organizations collect, store, and process personal data. It gives individuals significant rights over their data. Options A, C, and D are not the correct expansion of GDPR.

Question 7

What is data privacy?

  1. Making all data public
  2. The practice of protecting personal data from unauthorized access and ensuring compliance with privacy laws
  3. Encrypting all files
  4. Deleting old data
Show Answer

The correct answer is B.

Data privacy is the practice of protecting personal information from unauthorized access and ensuring it's collected, stored, and used in compliance with privacy laws and user expectations. It encompasses consent, transparency, and user rights. Option A contradicts privacy, option C is one technique but not the whole concept, and option D is about retention.

Question 8

What is the difference between authentication and authorization?

  1. They are the same thing
  2. Authentication verifies identity; authorization determines permissions
  3. Authorization comes before authentication
  4. They are unrelated concepts
Show Answer

The correct answer is B.

Authentication verifies who you are (identity), while authorization determines what you're allowed to do (permissions). Authentication always comes first - you can't authorize someone until you know who they are. Option A is false, option C is backwards, and option D is incorrect.

Question 9

Why is RBAC useful in chatbot systems?

  1. It makes the chatbot respond faster
  2. It allows different users to have different levels of access and capabilities
  3. It reduces database size
  4. It improves the user interface
Show Answer

The correct answer is B.

RBAC allows chatbot systems to provide different levels of access and capabilities to different users based on their roles. For example, admins might access sensitive data while regular users cannot. This improves security and enables appropriate access control. Option A relates to performance, option C to storage, and option D to design.

Question 10

What should chatbots do with user PII to comply with privacy regulations?

  1. Share it publicly for transparency
  2. Collect only necessary PII, store it securely, and provide users with control over their data
  3. Never collect any data
  4. Store it indefinitely without deletion
Show Answer

The correct answer is B.

To comply with privacy regulations like GDPR, chatbots should follow privacy best practices: collect only necessary PII, store it securely, obtain proper consent, provide transparency, and give users control over their data including the ability to access, correct, or delete it. Option A violates privacy, option C makes many services impossible, and option D violates data retention principles.
