Answer: D

Explanation:

Lawfulness and fairness is a data protection principle that states that personal data should be processed in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner in relation to the data subject. This means that personal data should be collected and used for legitimate purposes that are specified and communicated to the data subject, and that respect the rights and interests of the data subject. By posting its customer data protection notice that includes a statement indicating information is collected on how products are used, the content viewed, and the time and duration of online activities, an online business is applying the lawfulness and fairness principle. The online business is informing the customers about the purpose and scope of data collection, and obtaining their consent or legal basis for processing their personal data.
