   GDPR COMPLIANCE WORKFLOW
   ========================
   
   Right to Access (Article 15):
     1. Customer submits data access request
     2. Auto-detect request via keyword scanning
     3. Verify customer identity (2-factor verification)
     4. Aggregate all customer data from support system:
        - All tickets and messages
        - Account information
        - Communication history
        - Agent notes
        - Survey responses
     5. Generate data export package (JSON, CSV, PDF)
     6. Deliver via secure channel (encrypted download link)
     7. Log fulfillment in compliance database
     8. Confirm delivery to customer
     Timeline: Automated within 48 hours (legal requirement: 30 days)
     
   Right to Erasure (Article 17 — Right to be Forgotten):
     1. Customer submits deletion request
     2. Verify identity (2-factor verification)
     3. Check for legal retention requirements:
        - Tax/legal: Keep for 7 years (cannot delete)
        - Active tickets: Cannot delete until resolved
        - Analytics: Anonymize instead of delete
     4. Execute deletion across all systems:
        - Support platform: Delete/anonymize records
        - CRM: Propagate deletion request
        - Data warehouse: Remove from analytical datasets
        - Backup systems: Flag for deletion in next cycle
     5. Generate deletion certificate for customer
     6. Log deletion in compliance audit trail
     Timeline: Automated within 48 hours (legal requirement: 30 days)
     
   Right to Portability (Article 20):
     1. Customer requests data export in machine-readable format
     2. Generate standardized export (JSON format)
     3. Include all customer-controlled data
     4. Provide download link valid for 7 days
     5. Auto-delete export after download or expiry
     
   Data Processing Agreement (DPA):
     1. Maintain DPA templates for all support subprocessors
     2. Auto-generate DPA for new customer requests
     3. Track subprocessor compliance (annual audits)
     4. Maintain record of processing activities (RoPA)
  1. CCPA compliance automation:
  1. HIPAA compliance (healthcare customers):

3. Data Retention and Lifecycle Management

  1. Retention policies:
   DATA RETENTION SCHEDULE
   =======================
   
   Ticket data (resolved):
     Active: Retain indefinitely (searchable)
     After 2 years: Archive (searchable, not in active queue)
     After 7 years: Anonymize (remove PII, keep for analytics)
     After 10 years: Delete (unless legal hold)
     
   Communication history:
     Customer messages: Same as ticket retention
     Agent internal notes: 3 years active, 4 years archive
     Voicemail recordings: 90 days active, 1 year archive
     
   Analytics data:
     Aggregated metrics: Indefinite (no PII)
     Individual metrics: 2 years, then aggregate
     
   Audit logs:
     Access logs: 7 years (regulatory requirement)
     Change logs: 7 years (regulatory requirement)
     Compliance logs: 10 years (regulatory requirement)
     
   Attachments:
     Customer uploads: Same as ticket retention
     Agent screenshots: 1 year active, 2 years archive
