Data Terms: Logging, Traceability and Telemetry
Data vocabulary is becoming contract vocabulary.
Terms
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logging | Recording events and values locally |
| Telemetry | Transmitting data to a remote system |
| Traceability | Ability to relate a product to its process data |
| Retention | How long data is kept and why |
| Access | Who may view or export the data |
Why clarity matters
- Traceability obligations often come from the customer or the regulator.
- Retention and access terms belong in the contract.
- Data location affects legal and security questions.
Data obligations depend on the sector and jurisdiction. Confirm requirements with the customer and a specialist.
