Explanation:

Question 5

Privacy policies can vary. Some allow users to opt - in or opt - out of data sharing. Checking a box initially doesn't mean the company can always use data regardless of setting changes. The first two options assume a blanket "always" which is incorrect. The last option is wrong as companies do offer setting updates. So the correct reasoning leads to the third option.

School mascot, year of birth, and city of residence can be used to identify or target an individual. Favorite sport is a relatively non - identifying and safe piece of information to include in an online username as it doesn't reveal personal identifying details.

Answer:

C. False. It depends if the privacy policy allows you to opt in or out of sharing data.
