Usually in situations where someone may bring a legal case against you for something you did or didn’t do in the past, there is period of time after which the chances of any such case proceeding to be heard in the courts becomes very low. I would suggest to consult with lawyers to establish when that is likely to be and set that as the retention period. There may be something in the legislation, I don’t know it in enough detail.

 

I agree with you that it will be longer than it has been previously.

 

Neil.

Subject: GDPR Chronicles ~2: retention periods: privacy notices

 

Hi

 

Anyone have a current thought on the retention period for privacy notices?

 

I am minded of the effect on the retention of documents such as these of the growing practice, growing out of the current abuse inquiries,  of retaining governance documentation longer than we would have previously so that we can evidence why we did what we did at a particular time.  Equally, we cannot, of course, keep everything forever.

 

The sharing of any thinking on this appreciated.

 

Meic
