In the move-in scenario, what constraint prevented sharing the daughter's roommate contact information?

• A. Privacy policy restrictions
• B. The roommate preferred not to be contacted
• C. The information was not available in the system
• D. A temporary restriction due to midterms

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is privacy and data-sharing rules. In move-in situations, personal contact details are treated as private information (PII), and sharing them with someone else requires explicit consent or a clear policy-based exception. Privacy policy restrictions exist to protect guests’ personal data and ensure it’s only used for appropriate, authorized purposes. Even if there’s a legitimate reason to share, the policy may strictly limit or prohibit distributing roommate contact information without consent, which is why the constraint is described as privacy policy restrictions.

The other possibilities don’t fit because they describe specific circumstances (the roommate’s preference, data not being in the system, or a temporary midterm-related restriction) that would still fall under the broader privacy rules in practice. The overarching safeguard is the privacy policy.
