Anonymization of data, risk management, documents
The term is used in a French document aimed at data controllers and other people who process personal data. I understand what is meant by the term, but I'm having a hard time finding the right way to put it into words. I'm tempted to use "paper distribution channels", but that makes me think of supplying paper to businesses and such. "Paper circulation channels" perhaps? I'm at a complete loss.
Context: "les canaux papier (circulation au sein de l’organisme, transport en véhicule, envoi par la Poste…)" and "Quels sont les canaux de transmission papier (envoi postal, circuit de validation…) ?"
TIA!

paper supply channels
It's not too different from the initial suggestion, but the word 'traffic' I don't think fully works here.
Note from asker:
| Thanks for the suggestion, Laurence. |

Kévin Bernier
: I used the word traffic because it implies circulation and transport in either way (which seems to match this situation), whereas supply does not and only covers a "one way demand" if you get my point here.
