A mobile app starts collecting precise location as soon as it installs, with no explanation of why until weeks later in a buried settings screen. Which transparency failure is most clearly illustrated?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the app grabs your location, it should tell you why up front—not hide the story in a settings basement weeks later. Transparency means clear information when the processing starts, in language people can actually understand.
Full Explanation
Articles 12–13 require controllers to provide information to data subjects in a concise, transparent, intelligible, and easily accessible form, typically when personal data are obtained from the subject. Delayed or buried notices undermine that duty. Lead authority concepts, adequacy decisions, and trademark filings are separate regimes and do not cure a collection-time transparency failure.
