STORY & REFLECTION
The customer list too many people can open
Guidance-based illustration · The customer list too many people can open
Illustrative scene: An online shop shares one order sheet with the whole team. It contains phone numbers, addresses, and private notes that the person preparing product images never needs.
The owner separates packing details from image work, narrows file access, and sets a retention period for unneeded records. The team can still work with only the data each role needs.
The FTC recommends knowing what personal data a business holds, retaining only what is needed, and limiting access. Data collected for fulfillment should not be assumed available for every later purpose.
Protecting data starts by asking who needs to see what.
Reflection
