Local Planning Notes
Toronto privacy planning should account for high-volume customers, layered vendors, online platforms, employee permissions, multilingual notices, and incident readiness.
Customer accounts need clear controls
Login data, support tickets, billing records, preferences, purchase histories, and profile information require access and retention planning.
