    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.

    • Identify core processes involving data collection, use, disclosure, and storage.

      • Finance: payroll, taxes, employee claims, customer invoicing
      • Customer Service: complaints handling
      • Human Resources: recruitment, employee management, payroll
