The premise
Classify trace fields by sensitivity, set per-class TTL, and run a redaction job before traces enter long-term storage.
What AI does well here
- Classify fields as system / model / user / secret
- Apply different TTLs per class
- Support deletion-request workflows
What AI cannot do
- Decide your legal retention floor
- Detect PII inside free-text reliably
- Replace a real DPA review
