Why each option
Transparency about what data is collected is the foundational privacy principle in big data analytics, enabling informed consent and regulatory compliance.
Maintenance of archived data addresses data retention practices but does not directly address the privacy risk of collecting and analyzing personal data.
Disclosing how data is analyzed is secondary to informing individuals about what is being collected in the first place.
Transparency about data collection is a core privacy principle - individuals must know what data is being gathered about them before any analytics occur. This enables meaningful consent and underpins all downstream privacy controls required by frameworks such as GDPR and CCPA.
Continuity with business requirements is an operational concern, not a privacy consideration for data subjects.
