5 steps. That's all you need to be ready.

What does this mean for YOUR business?

Think about your shop or office. You collect customer phone numbers, staff Aadhaar copies, and salary slips. Do you know where all of it is stored? Step 1 says — write it down. Step 2 says — stop asking for Aadhaar if you do not need it. Step 3 says — do not share your WhatsApp customer list with everyone. Step 4 says — check if your delivery vendor or software company is safe. Step 5 — RETAIN — says delete old resumes and expired customer data. Do not keep what you do not use.

Who Is Affected

• Step 1 — MAP: Write down what information you collect and where.
• Step 2 — MINIMISE: Stop collecting information you do not really need.
• Step 3 — CONTROL: Only let the right people see customer or staff information.
• Step 4 — REVIEW: Check if your vendors handle people's information safely.
