We established the context of your Privacy requirements. Context is very important here, else Privacy is just a high level keyword. All our initiatives are inline with various businesses we run.
Mapping the Personal Data is a very fundamental step and forms the crux of the entire Privacy approach. We need to know what Personal data categories and elements we are collecting, processing, storing etc. along with knowing how this is flowing through the organization and any extended arms.

We saw the data categories and elements in our previous article. We also discussed about Above the Surface data and Below the Surface data. Now, we will discuss the various stages of data, as a lifecycle.

Data comes into the organization in various formats and via different channels. Data also flows out of the organization as well as within the organization in various formats and via different channels. Some of the formats are text file, csv, excel file, pdf form, database format, json style etc and through various channels such as email, API, webapp, mobile app, sftp, USB drive etc. Here is where things get interesting and complex; the episode is to unravel the complexity.

The flow described in this season can be used by in either of the below situations:

• you and work standalone/ 
• work with a consultant/expert 
• can be used to run the show via the Arrka Privacy Management Platform (both for Security and Privacy).
