Data Governance.

Implement data governance for regulatory compliance.

GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK

Data governance ensures behavioral data is collected, processed, and retained in compliance with regulations (GDPR, CCPA) and internal policies.

Key requirements: data minimization (collect only what's needed), purpose limitation (use only for stated purposes), retention limits (delete when no longer needed), and subject rights (access, correction, deletion).

Document data flows: what data is collected, where it's stored, who has access, how long it's retained, and how it's deleted. This documentation is required for compliance audits.

DATA CLASSIFICATION

Classify data by sensitivity. PII, behavioral data, and derived scores may have different handling requirements.

RETENTION POLICIES

Define retention periods by data type. Automate deletion when retention expires.

SUBJECT RIGHTS

Implement access, correction, and deletion workflows. Respond within regulatory timeframes.

CROSS-BORDER

Document and control data transfers across jurisdictions. Standard contractual clauses where required.
