Data Classification

Effective data protection begins with understanding the nature and sensitivity of information being processed. Digital 2Moro classifies information according to its level of sensitivity, business value, confidentiality requirements, and potential impact if disclosed, modified, lost, or misused.

Data classification helps determine the appropriate security controls, access restrictions, retention periods, monitoring requirements, and handling procedures applied to different categories of information.

• Public Information: Content intended for public distribution and unrestricted access.
• Internal Information: Operational information intended for authorized business use.
• Confidential Information: Sensitive client, business, technical, or operational data.
• Restricted Information: Highly sensitive information requiring enhanced protection.
• Classification-based access control and handling procedures.

Data Ownership

Digital 2Moro recognizes that clients retain ownership of the information, content, records, databases, documents, intellectual property, and business assets they provide or generate through the services we deliver. We do not claim ownership of client data unless explicitly agreed through separate contractual arrangements.

Our role is generally that of a service provider, technology partner, processor, or custodian acting on behalf of clients within the scope of agreed services.

• Clients maintain ownership of their data and content.

Data Minimization

Digital 2Moro seeks to collect, process, access, and retain only the information necessary to fulfill legitimate business purposes, contractual obligations, service delivery requirements, and operational needs.

Data minimization reduces exposure, simplifies compliance, limits unnecessary risk, and supports responsible privacy practices throughout the information lifecycle.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, project requirements, legal obligations, dispute considerations, and operational necessity.

• Defined retention practices for operational records.
• Retention based on business and legal requirements.
• Periodic review of stored information.

Disposal methods are selected based on the type of information, storage medium, technical environment, and applicable business requirements.
