Which of the following occurs when an individual takes a specific observable action to indicate and confirm that they give permission for their information to be processed?
Correct Answer: A
* Option A: Express consent occurs when an individual takes a specific, observable action, such as signing a document or clicking an "I agree" button online, to give explicit permission for their information to be processed. This type of consent is clear and unambiguous.
* Option B: Implied consent is inferred from an individual's actions, such as when they provide information voluntarily without a specific action indicating consent.
* Option C: Informed notice refers to providing individuals with information about how their data will be used, but it does not itself constitute consent.
* Option D: Authorized notice is not a standard term in data protection and privacy contexts.
