OVERVIEW

 

The need to retain data varies widely with the type of data. Some data can be immediately deleted and some must be retained until reasonable potential for future need no longer exists. Since this can be somewhat subjective, a retention policy is important to ensure that the company’s guidelines on retention are consistently applied throughout the organization.

 

PURPOSE

 

The purpose of this policy is to specify the company’s guidelines for retaining different types of data. This policy sets out the obligations of Pandavolunteer.org regarding data protection and the rights of USER (“data subjects”) in respect of their personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (“the Regulation”).
