Risk grows with reuse and retention

An overflowing archive contrasts with a smaller collection of retained records

  • A breach is one risk; unexpected reuse and exposure are others.
  • A data point kept indefinitely can become useful in a future context the person never saw coming.
  • Minimization reduces what can be misused, exposed, or inferred.

Presenter notes

Move from the collector's incentives to the person's stakes. Use a simple lifecycle: collect, infer, share, retain, delete.
