Retention (EU specific)
Within the information life cycle the concept that organizations should retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the stated purpose. Under the General Data Protection Regulation, the "right to be forgotten" exists where the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, where a data subject has withdrawn their consent or objects to the processing of personal data concerning them, or where the processing of their personal data does not otherwise comply with the GDPR, unless there are other legal obligations or reasons of the public interest to retain their personal data.
