Most businesses fix things once. The smart ones build a habit.
Many shop owners cleaned up their customer list once. Then forgot about it. New customers came. New resumes piled up. Old Aadhaar copies stayed in the drawer. Six months later, the mess was back. The new data law does not want a one-time fix. It wants you to keep doing the right thing every month. That is what the next 90 days are for.
Say you run a small school. Every month, new parent phone numbers come in. Old students leave. If you never delete old data, you are holding information you do not need. That is risky. Or say you run a factory. Your HR keeps salary slips and PAN card copies. Are old employee files still sitting in a folder? Set a monthly reminder. Review. Delete. Repeat. This is not extra work. It is a simple habit that protects you.
Set a monthly phone reminder to review and delete old customer or staff data.
Tell your HR or office staff to check vendor data practices every 90 days.
