Practical privacy resources

Short practical guides for everyday privacy work. These are general good-practice suggestions; confirm your own legal and sector requirements.

Collect only what you need

List the information collected on each form and explain why each field is needed. Remove fields with no clear purpose. Make optional fields clear, and explain intended use before collection.

Try this: Assign an owner, record the current practice and agree one improvement to review with your team.

Keep access under control

Give staff access according to their duties. Review shared folders, exports and administrator permissions. Remove access when someone leaves or changes role, and review access regularly.

Set sensible retention periods

Identify the legal, contractual and business reasons for keeping each category of record. Agree retention periods and review dates. Include copies, exports and supplier-held records in deletion planning.

Prepare for information requests
