Data retention refers to the duration of time that personal data is stored or maintained by an organization. It involves determining how long data should be kept, the purposes for which it will be used, and when it should be deleted or anonymized. Here is more information about data retention:

1. Purpose of Data Retention:
   • Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Organizations are often required by law or industry regulations to retain certain types of data for specific periods. For example, financial records may need to be retained for a certain number of years for tax or auditing purposes.
   • Operational and Business Needs: Data retention is necessary for ongoing operations, such as customer support, order fulfillment, or historical analysis. Retaining data allows organizations to provide services, process transactions, or perform analytics.
2. Factors Affecting Data Retention:
   • Applicable Laws and Regulations: Different countries and industries have specific legal requirements regarding data retention. It’s essential to understand the specific regulations that apply to your organization.
   • Data Type and Sensitivity: The nature and sensitivity of the data influence retention periods. For example, personally identifiable information (PII) may require longer retention periods compared to non-identifiable or non-sensitive data.
   • Purpose of Data Processing: The reasons for collecting and processing data impact retention periods. Data required for ongoing service provision may be retained longer than data collected for a specific transaction or temporary purpose.
   • Consent and User Preferences: Organizations should consider any user consent or preferences regarding data retention. If users have given consent for a specific period or request deletion of their data, these preferences should be respected.
3. Data Retention Practices:
