Handling data responsibly.
WHAT ANALYSIS FREQUENTLY INVOLVES
Personal data about customers and staff.
WHAT THAT MEANS
Obligations apply, wherever the data sits and whatever you do with it.
WHAT TO CONSIDER
Whether you need identifiable data for the analysis Whether aggregated or anonymised data would suffice
THAT QUESTION
Frequently the analysis works perfectly well without names.
WHAT TO DO
Use the minimum identifiable data necessary Restrict who can access analysis containing personal data Delete working copies when finished
THE WORKING COPY PROBLEM
Exports and spreadsheets containing customer data accumulate on devices.
Those are as sensitive as the original system.
WHAT TO AVOID
Emailing customer exports Storing analysis files in public locations Keeping exports indefinitely
WHAT TO RECORD
Where analysis data is held, in your data inventory.
