Answer Key

Personal data

Section A: Quick Questions

A — Your full name and birthday

B — True

A — Personal data, because it shows who you are and maybe where you go

A — Your location

B — Stored in the account by the company or service

Section B: Match the Pairs

personal data → Information that identifies or relates to a specific person, like their name or birthday

location = "Geelong, Victoria" → A piece of personal data showing where a person is or lives

A name and a birthday are personal data because they identify a specific person → name = "Mia Chen"; birthday = "12 May 2013"

Personal data stored in an online account needs protecting so others cannot misuse it → account = {"name": "Mia", "photo": "mia.jpg", "address": "4 Oak St"}

post("My address is 4 Oak St and my birthday is 12 May") → Sharing an address and birthday publicly puts personal data at risk. Keep this information private.

photo = "mia_school.jpg" # not personal data, share it with anyone → A photo that shows a person or their location is personal data, so it should not be treated as harmless.

Section C: Definitions

personal data — Information that identifies or relates to a specific person, like their name, birthday, address, photos or location. It needs protecting because it is stored in online accounts.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

personal_data = ["name", "address"]

print("Birthday is personal data")

account = {"name": "Sam", "city": "Perth"}
print(account["city"])

if location_on:
    print("Location is shared")

print(not False)

Section E: Spot the Error

A — The string for the name is missing its closing quote. It should be name = "Mia".

C — There is a comma missing between the two items in print(). It should be print("Address:", address).

C — == compares values, so the photo is never stored in the online account. Use = to store it: account["photo"] = "lee.jpg".

D — The function name is misspelled as prnt, so Python does not know it. It should be print("Keep it private").

C — A single = assigns a value. An if statement needs == to compare: if share_online == True:.
