A city publishes incorrect parking-fine personal data online and delays correcting it after the error is known. Which assessment best captures the principle failure?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Wrong fine details on the internet are not a harmless typo—they are accuracy going public, with reputation and fairness riding along. Fixing the record quickly matters twice as much once strangers can see it. Delay after you know it is wrong digs the hole deeper.
Full Explanation
The accuracy principle requires reasonable steps to keep personal data accurate and to rectify or erase inaccuracies without delay. Publishing incorrect parking-fine personal data and delaying correction can simultaneously engage accuracy, fairness, and security/confidentiality concerns because erroneous personal data are exposed to the public. Controllers should correct disclosed inaccuracies promptly to limit compounded harm.
