    Study Notes

    Personal Data Handling Practices

    • Identify and document an organization's personal data handling practices by:
      • Identifying business processes involving personal data.
      • Documenting how the organization collects, uses, discloses, and stores personal data as part of its business processes.
      • Use diagrams like data inventory maps or data flow diagrams.

    Data Lifecycle Documentation

    • The first step in developing a Data Protection Management Plan (DPMP) is to document personal data flows.
    • This involves understanding how data is collected, stored, used, disclosed, archived, and disposed of.
    • This can be achieved using a data inventory map or data flow diagram.
    • Each data inventory map/data flow diagram should detail how personal data is handled for each business process.
    • A data inventory map allows the easy development, maintenance and updating of data. It does not need advanced software and is suitable for extensive complex data flows. However, it lacks visual representation.
    • A data flow diagram is useful for quick reference. It clarifies the flow of personal data with simple notation and requires no technical knowledge. However, it is harder to maintain.

    Understanding the Data Lifecycle

    • To understand the data lifecycle, analyze the flows of personal data within business processes.
    • Identify core processes involving data collection, use, disclosure, and storage.
    • Examples of common business processes: finance, customer service, human resources, sales & marketing, and IT.
      • Finance: payroll, taxes, employee claims, customer invoicing
      • Customer Service: complaints handling
      • Human Resources: recruitment, employee management, payroll

    Data Lifecycle Documentation - Key Considerations

    • The organisation must know the types of personal data it processes.
    • Different data requires different security levels.
    • The organization needs to know the different points at which data is collected.
    • Understanding how data is collected, used, and stored.
    • Assess risks posed by third parties handling data.
    • Ensure adequate consent is obtained for data collection, use, disclosure, and storage.
    • Understand the regulations and policies regarding personal data retention. Different methods to obtain consent for data collection and storage.
