The problem

How a data leak really happens

1

You have a client list.

Names, phone numbers and notes on every customer.

2

An employee pastes it into a free AI app.

Just trying to save time. No bad intent.

3

Now 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.

Two ways to start
