CIPP/E practice examsIn development
Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe
European data protection as it is actually applied: where the right comes from, the principles and lawful bases, international transfers after Schrems II, and what compliance looks like in employment, marketing and surveillance.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Introduction to European data protection | ~25% |
| European data protection law and regulation | ~50% |
| Compliance with European data protection law and regulation | ~25% |
