Privacy & Data Minimization — CCAO-F Practice Question
A representative Claude Certified Associate - Foundations (CCAO-F) exam question on Privacy & Data Minimization. Work through it below, then read why each option is right or wrong.
Short answer
The correct answer is C. Remove or mask unnecessary personal data before providing the cases.
Data minimization reduces exposure at the source. A prompt instruction does not undo unnecessary disclosure of sensitive inputs.
The Question
An employee wants Claude to help categorize support cases. The raw export contains names, phone numbers, and account numbers that are unnecessary for categorization. What should happen first?
Why C is correct
Data minimization reduces exposure at the source. A prompt instruction does not undo unnecessary disclosure of sensitive inputs.
Why the other options are wrong
Option A does not satisfy the requirement in the scenario. Review the explanation above: the correct choice (C) is the only one that fully meets every constraint stated in the question.
Option B does not satisfy the requirement in the scenario. Review the explanation above: the correct choice (C) is the only one that fully meets every constraint stated in the question.
Option D does not satisfy the requirement in the scenario. Review the explanation above: the correct choice (C) is the only one that fully meets every constraint stated in the question.
Key idea: Privacy & Data Minimization
Data minimization reduces exposure at the source. A prompt instruction does not undo unnecessary disclosure of sensitive inputs. On the CCAO-F exam, questions in the "Governance, Risk, and Responsible Use" domain test whether you can map a scenario's constraints to the right choice. Read the requirement carefully, eliminate options that violate any single constraint, and pick the one that satisfies all of them with the least operational overhead.
