1. Introduction
A consumer profile (or consumer persona) is a data‑driven representation of an individual or segment that captures demographic, psychographic, behavioral, and contextual attributes relevant to marketing, product design, sales strategy, and customer support.
This document provides:
A step‑by‑step workflow for creating and maintaining accurate profiles.
Best practices for data collection, integration, and analysis.
Governance structures to ensure compliance with privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
Tools and frameworks that can be leveraged in an enterprise setting.
Event Log: Retain for 12 months (archived to cold storage).
Snapshot/Delta Files: Retain for 30 days (for rollback/recovery).
Schema Evolution Metadata: Retain indefinitely.
6.2 Access Control
Use role-based access control (RBAC) at the data lake level.
Least privilege principle: grant only necessary read/write permissions per service or team.
6.3 Auditing and Monitoring
Log all schema changes, migration jobs, and data writes to a secure audit trail.
Monitor pipeline health metrics (latency, success/failure rates) via dashboards.
5. Conclusion
By combining schema evolution metadata with data lake lineage and transactional batch processing, this architecture satisfies the stringent requirements of the regulated environment:
Zero downtime: schema changes are propagated to downstream consumers without halting data ingestion.
Full compliance: audit trails, versioning, and immutable storage guarantee traceability and recoverability.
Scalable analytics: raw, processed, and curated layers support flexible query patterns without sacrificing performance.
This design ensures that the organization can evolve its data structures responsively while maintaining rigorous adherence to regulatory obligations.
