Privacy

Decide what to collect, why it is needed, where it moves, who controls it, and which decisions need professional review.

The useful answer

Evaluate privacy choices across websites, calls, forms, AI agents, customer records, and automation.

Privacy is an operating design choice, not a footer statement. A customer system should minimize collection, explain its purpose, restrict access, protect transmission and storage, preserve consent where required, and keep regulated or professional decisions with authorized people. The exact obligations depend on the business and jurisdiction.

Data enters through many customer channels, but the business lacks one clear map of what is collected, which service receives it, who can see it, and how exceptions are handled.
