How you decide to store it makes little difference as long as it's digital.
Fun aside: if you store it on paper you're not beholden to GDPR. Crazy.
- Bizarro 8y agoThey don't own the data either. Think about. A person doesn't own the random bits (data) about them that goes through and is stored on various systems they interact with. Under the GDPR in the EU, they might have a right to know what is stored about them on various systems, but they don't "own" that data. That's impossible and doesn't make sense.

From some quick googling that doesn't appear to be true. https://www.orsgroup.com/news/compliance/how-the-gdpr-affects-paper-documents https://www.orsgroup.com/news/compliance/how-the-gdpr-affect... https://www.winterhawkconsulting.com/4946-2/ https://www.winterhawkconsulting.com/4946-2/ https://www.p4p.uk.com/gdpr-compliance-paper-documents/ https://www.p4p.uk.com/gdpr-compliance-paper-documents/
