The GDPR requires in scope firms that collect and process personal data to do so in a way that respects the rights and freedoms of impacted individuals. That includes not storing it for longer than needed.

Sounds simple in theory. But how does this translate into practice?

As experienced personal data protection practitioners, we would like to invite you to join us for a lunch and learn session where we will:

  • Walk you through the factors to consider when setting retention periods
  • Touch upon the practical dilemma companies are currently facing
  • Outline the different grounds you can rely on to store data
  • Highlight why it’s important to know the purpose for which you’re storing data
  • Provide an overview of mechanisms to ensure that retention periods you have set are complied with
  • Show different processes to satisfy retention periods – manual reviews vs. automated tools
  • Explain how you can verify that periods are respected: testing the operational effectiveness of retention periods
