RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Organize local business information without collecting personal data or ignoring directory terms.

For a permitted purpose, prepare a limited, dated list of public business details for an authorized research purpose. Directory information can be outdated, inaccurate, or restricted from collection and reuse. Check access terms, verify business identity and contact details, avoid collecting private-person records, minimize retention, and require a researcher to approve the final list and any outreach before it is shared or used. Confirm permission and any required notice or consent, minimize private information, respect access and reuse rights, verify claims against current source records, and require an accountable person to approve the exact consequential action.
