9. Data Retention

Under the GDPR, our data retention policy ensures that personal data is stored only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, or meet legitimate business interests. We adhere to the principle of "storage limitation," meaning we must establish, document, and justify specific retention periods based on the nature and purpose of the data processing. Our policy covers the types of data we collect, the reasons for retaining it, and the corresponding time frames. For instance, data subject to tax or audit requirements may be retained for several years, as mandated by law. Upon expiration of the retention period, we either securely delete the data or anonymize it, ensuring it cannot be linked back to an individual. We regularly review and update our data retention practices to comply with evolving legal requirements and industry standards. This includes maintaining accurate and up-to-date records, implementing robust data security measures to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or destruction, and training our staff on their roles in data management. Our approach to data retention not only aligns with GDPR requirements but also minimizes risks associated with holding unnecessary data, such as potential data breaches. This commitment helps us safeguard the privacy and security of the personal data we handle.
