- A
Store faces in a secure database and delete after 30 days.
Why wrong: Retention policy alone does not satisfy GDPR consent requirements.
- B
Anonymize the face data by blurring key features.
Why wrong: Anonymization may not be sufficient if the purpose is identification.
- C
Obtain explicit consent from each employee before enrollment.
GDPR requires explicit consent for processing biometric data.
- D
Use encryption for stored face templates.
Why wrong: Encryption protects data but does not address the legal basis for processing.
Question 636 of 993
Ensure GDPR Compliance When Using Face API for Biometric Identification
This AI-102 practice question tests your understanding of implement computer vision solutions. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company uses the Face API to detect and identify employees for building access. They need to ensure that the system complies with GDPR requirements for biometric data. Which action should they take?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Obtain explicit consent from each employee before enrollment.
Under GDPR, biometric data (such as facial recognition templates) is classified as special category data requiring explicit consent for processing. The Face API itself does not manage consent; the responsibility lies with the application layer. Option C is correct because obtaining explicit consent from each employee before enrollment is a fundamental GDPR requirement for lawful processing of biometric data.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Why it's wrong here
Encryption protects data but does not address the legal basis for processing.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often focus on technical security measures (encryption, deletion, anonymization) as sufficient for GDPR compliance, overlooking the foundational legal requirement for explicit consent when processing special category biometric data.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
The Face API uses deep neural networks to extract a unique face template (a vector of numerical features) from an image, which is then used for matching. Under GDPR, this template is considered biometric data because it uniquely identifies an individual. The system must implement a consent management workflow (e.g., using Azure AD B2C or custom logic) to capture and audit explicit consent before calling the Face API's PersonGroup Person - Create or Add Face operations. Failure to do so can result in regulatory fines of up to 4% of annual global turnover.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
