Privacy & Compliance

Build and maintain privacy compliance programs.

Major Regulations

Regulation	Scope	Key Requirements
GDPR	EU residents	Consent, data rights, breach notification, DPO
CCPA/CPRA	California residents	Right to know, delete, opt-out
HIPAA	US healthcare	PHI protection, BAAs, security rule
LGPD	Brazil	Similar to GDPR
PIPEDA	Canada	Consent, access, accuracy

Core Program Components

Data Mapping

1. Catalog all data collected (PII, sensitive, financial)
2. Document flow: collection → storage → processing → deletion
3. Identify third-party processors and sub-processors
4. Map legal basis for each processing activity
5. Review and update quarterly

Consent Management

• Obtain explicit, informed consent before collection
• Record consent with timestamp and version
• Make withdrawal as easy as giving consent
• Refresh consent annually or when purpose changes

Data Subject Requests (DSR)

Request Type	Timeline	Process
Access	30 days	Provide all data in machine-readable format
Deletion	30 days	Delete + request deletion from third parties
Correction	30 days	Fix inaccurate data
Portability	30 days	Export in structured format
Objection	30 days	Stop processing for specific purpose

Privacy by Design

1. Proactive not reactive — embed privacy from the start
2. Default settings should be most private
3. Minimize data collection to what's necessary
4. Encrypt everywhere (transit and at rest)
5. Retain only as long as needed, then delete
