What is Data Retention Standards ?

Data retention standards guide organisations on how long they may keep personal information and when it must be securely deleted. Proper retention prevents unnecessary exposure of user data and reduces legal risks.

Key Highlights:

  • Establish clear timelines for different types of data, e.g., financial, health, or marketing data.

  • Ensure automatic or scheduled deletion to avoid holding data longer than needed.

  • Support compliance with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and MODPA.

  • Help organisations minimise data breach risks and build trust with users.

  • Aid in auditing and reporting obligations by maintaining structured records.
