GDPR Data Retention Policy template

This Policy is intended to be used to strictly maintain a set of up-to-date and legitimate data that is accepted to be stored according to the GDPR Directive. The need to retain data varies widely with the type of data. Some data can be immediately deleted and some must be retained until the reasonable potential for future need no longer exists. Since this can be somewhat subjective, a retention policy is important to ensure that the Organization's guidelines on retention are consistently applied throughout the organization. This policy is intended to protect the security and integrity of your organizations data and technology infrastructure. 

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation in 20 years. This policy directive was adopted in May 2016 because most Europeans say they want the same data protection rights across the EU and regardless of where their data is processed. It aims to make Europe fit for the digital age. 

Enforcement date: 25 May 2018, at which time those organizations in non-compliance may face heavy fines. 

We're here to help you become compliant by providing this personal data retention schedule. The GDPR comes with a set of Rules and Regulations for the protection of personal data inside and outside the European Union (EU) and affects all companies that save personal data from European citizens.
