What does Transient Data Storage involve?

  1. Storing data indefinitely

  2. Storing data for the current transaction and deleting after

  3. Storing data only for secondary uses

  4. Storing data without any consent

The correct answer is: Storing data for the current transaction and deleting after

Transient Data Storage involves storing data for the current transaction and then deleting it after the transaction is complete. This practice ensures that sensitive information is not retained longer than necessary, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or misuse of data. Storing data indefinitely (Option A) goes against the principle of transient storage as it increases the data's exposure to potential security threats. Storing data only for secondary uses (Option C) is not the primary purpose of transient data storage, which focuses on the immediate transaction. Storing data without any consent (Option D) is unrelated to the concept of transient storage, as consent is a separate privacy principle that governs the collection and processing of data.
