You don't need months. You need this week. Here's where to start.
Most small business owners think privacy rules are for big companies. They are not. Your shop, school, or factory collects customer phone numbers, resumes, and Aadhaar copies every day. That is enough to get a notice. The good news? Seven days is enough to take your first real steps. Not to finish — but to start strong.
Think about your business right now. Do you have customer phone numbers saved in WhatsApp groups? Do you keep salary slips or resumes in an open folder? Does your old delivery boy still have access to your customer list? These are risky spots. This week, list all such places. Give one trusted person the job of fixing each one. Remove anyone who should not see this information. Start with the biggest risk first.
List every place your business stores people's information today.
Remove old staff access to customer lists, WhatsApp groups, and files.
