deletion period
In short and in plain language
A deletion period is a span of time. After it, stored data about people is deleted.
This happens when the data has done its job.
For care firms, this is about things like job forms, questions and data from forms. The periods should be set and written down.
Definition
The period after which stored personal data is deleted because its purpose has been fulfilled. For care services this concerns, for example, applications, contact enquiries and form data. The periods should be defined and documented.
