Data Warehouse
Data Management
Centralized analytical datastore optimized for querying and reporting across datasets.
Definition
A data warehouse consolidates data from multiple systems for analytics. It often contains identifiers and behavioral data, requiring strict access control, minimization, and retention policies.
In plain English
Centralized analytical datastore optimized for querying and reporting across datasets.
Why this matters
Why it matters: Warehouses are high-value targets and can enable large-scale profiling if poorly governed.
Example
Example: Use role-based access, separate sensitive datasets, and enforce retention limits for raw event logs.
