What are the two responsibilities of the Deputy Privacy Commissioner?

• A. Data Processing Systems and Policies and Planning
• B. Data Collection Systems and Policies and Planning
• C. Data Processing Systems and Finance
• D. Data Privacy Systems and Policies and Performance

Answer: (A)

The role is focused on how data is processed and how privacy is governed. The Deputy Privacy Commissioner is responsible for data processing systems—the methods and controls that handle personal data, including how data is collected, stored, accessed, shared, retained, and safeguarded. Pairing with policies and planning, this means shaping privacy policies, governance frameworks, and forward-looking plans to ensure ongoing compliance and readiness for evolving privacy risks.

The other options would shift focus away from processing mechanisms or governance. For example, emphasizing data collection systems highlights gathering activities rather than the processing and protection of data; bringing in finance is outside privacy governance; adding performance introduces measurement rather than the core governance of processing and planning.
