As part of a series of announcements during TrustWeek, OneTrust’s annual user conference, we are excited to introduce DataGuidance Data Retention Schedules, the latest addition to the DataGuidance Regulatory Research platform.
Global commerce has become increasingly data-driven and it shows no signs of slowing down – meaning records of business data can begin to mount up.
But how long can or must you keep these records for? The answer isn’t simple as global privacy laws are constantly changing and can vary in each state, country, and region.
This new tool can help by offering a detailed breakdown of the key information for data retention requirements in multiple jurisdictions. The solution also helps you stay up to date and compliant with your global obligations relating to data retention across different functions of your business.
