The Linux Foundation’s [*“Telemetry Data Collection and Usage Policy”*](https://www.linuxfoundation.org/telemetry-data-policy/) presents a brief discussion of some of the issues that should be considered before implementing telemetry data collection, as well as discussing the Foundation’s approach to managing use of telemetry by its open source project communities. This may be useful to you in other contexts.

#### Data handling procedures and reviews for sensitive information
622+
623+
If your software is designed to handle sensitive information, you must also record your "data handling procedures" to show how you adhere to cybersecurity laws and regulations. This record shows how your software collects, stores, uses, and eventually destroys sensitive data. This helps you verify and demonstrate that you meet legal obligations and organizational security policies. This record would include:
624+
625+
* Data Inventory: What sensitive data (such as PII) is being collected?
626+
* Legal Basis: For each piece of data, what is the lawful basis for processing (e.g., consent or legal obligation)?
627+
* Access Control: Who is authorized to access the data, and how is that access mediated?
628+
* Retention and Disposal: How long is the data kept, and how is it destroyed when no longer needed?
629+
630+
Routinely review this record to conduct simple compliance checks to ensure all your legal requirements are met. For example, verify that your requirements and procedures properly support the Right of Access, Right to Erasure, and Data Minimization.
