Which of the following is NOT considered sensitive personal information?

• A. Information about health, education, genetic or sexual life, or to any proceeding for any offense committed or alleged to have been committed by such person, the disposal of such proceedings, or the sentence of any court in such proceedings.
• B. Information issued by government agencies peculiar to an individual including social security numbers, health records, licenses or denials, suspension or revocation, and tax returns.
• C. Information specifically established by an executive order or an act of Congress to be kept classified.
• D. Information about the platform of a candidate for national elective position discussed in a public debate televised in national television network.

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is what counts as sensitive personal information versus information that is public or not private. Information about a candidate’s platform discussed in a national public debate is public, policy-focused material about a public figure, not a private attribute. It doesn’t reveal personal health, education, genetic or sexual life, nor does it involve government-held personal data like social security numbers, health records, licenses, or tax returns, and it isn’t restricted as classified information. Because it concerns public policy and the candidate’s publicly stated positions, it is not treated as sensitive personal information. The other options involve private or highly protected data, which is why they are considered sensitive.
