Privacy Data Flow Map
Purpose
Map what data a workflow collects, where it goes, and which privacy questions need review.
Fit
- Use when a product or agent workflow handles user, customer, employee, or sensitive operational data.
- Do not use when no data collection, storage, sharing, or retention decision is involved.
Inputs
- Product flow, form fields, event names, integration docs, or agent workflow.
- User roles, jurisdictions, retention requirements, and policy constraints if available.
- Known third-party processors or storage destinations.
Workflow
- Inventory data fields and classify sensitivity.
- Map collection, processing, storage, sharing, and deletion.
- Identify purpose, consent, retention, and access-control questions.
- Flag unnecessary collection or unclear data use.
- Recommend privacy review items and minimization options.
