Pattern of the week
Transparent Data Handling
- What:
- Shows users real-time logs of where their data flows, how it's processed, where it's stored, and who accesses it.
- When to use it:
- Systems handling sensitive data where users need to verify compliance, audit trails, or make informed sharing decisions.
- Watch out:
- Overwhelming users with technical detail defeats the purpose; oversimplifying hides real risks and creates false transparency.
