The problem
How a data leak really happens.
01You have a client list.Names, phone numbers and notes on every customer.
02An employee pastes it into a free AI app.Just trying to save time. No bad intent.
03Now it sits on someone else’s server.You can’t see it, delete it or get it back.
One pasted file can turn into a privacy complaint, a lost client or a contract you can’t sign.
