Data Retention & Deletion Policy
Generate a Data Retention & Deletion Policy with retention schedules, legal-hold handling, and secure-deletion methods — key evidence for GDPR and SOC 2.
These clauses are generated as part of your Data Handling Policy rather than as a separate file, which is how most auditors expect to receive them.

Data Retention & Deletion Policy, answered
How does retention relate to GDPR?
GDPR's storage-limitation principle requires you not to keep personal data longer than needed. A retention schedule plus secure deletion evidences it.
