The best way to understand the location, use and importance of personal data within an organization is by evaluating methods for collecting data. This will help to identify the sources, purposes, and categories of data that the organization processes, as well as the data flows and transfers within and outside the organization. By doing so, the organization can assess the risks and opportunities associated with data processing and design appropriate privacy policies and controls.
