Question

Question 3
Which of the following statements accurately describe first-, second-, and third-party data? Select all that apply.


First-party data is collected by an individual or group using their own resources.



Second-party data is often less reliable than third-party data.



First-, second-, and third-party data should all be checked for accuracy before use.



Third-party data comes from outside sources.

Answer 1

Correct answers: 1, 3, and 4.

- First-party data is indeed collected by the organization (or individual/group) using their own resources.
- All types of data (first-, second-, and third-party) should be validated for accuracy before use.
- Third-party data comes from external sources (data providers, aggregators).

Statement 2 is false — second-party data (another organization’s first-party data shared with you) is generally more reliable than third-party data, not less.
