Understand data journeys
Document personal-data collection, storage, transfer and access across systems.
POSSIBLE OUTPUT → Data-flow map and inventory inputs
[ EXPERTISE / PRIVACY / GDPR ]
I help engineering and product teams reduce unnecessary data exposure and incorporate privacy requirements into system architecture.
[ MISSION BRIEF ]
Privacy is much easier to implement when data flows, retention, access and deletion are considered before features reach production. I work at the intersection of software design and operational controls.
This can include data-flow mapping, minimisation, retention implementation, access and export workflows, logging considerations and privacy-aware reviews. Legal interpretations should be confirmed with your privacy counsel or DPO.
[ OPERATION MODULES ]
Document personal-data collection, storage, transfer and access across systems.
POSSIBLE OUTPUT → Data-flow map and inventory inputs
Assess what data is required and where unnecessary duplication or persistence exists.
POSSIBLE OUTPUT → Minimisation recommendations
Design deletion, retention, least-privilege access and secure handling into workflows.
POSSIBLE OUTPUT → Technical control backlog
Validate data subject request workflows, logging and retention operations with realistic scenarios.
POSSIBLE OUTPUT → Verification scenarios and improvement list
[ ENGAGEMENT PROTOCOL ]
Clarify objectives, systems, stakeholders, existing evidence and constraints.
Focus on risks, decisions and improvements that matter most.
Agree clear deliverables, ownership and a sensible way to review progress.
