Data Retention Policy

Principles

We seek to retain records only while reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes, contractual obligations, legal requirements, security, dispute resolution, and preservation of rights. We also seek to dispose of information securely when retention is no longer justified.

General retention criteria

• Duration and nature of the business or employment relationship.
• Purpose for which information was collected.
• Applicable limitation periods, tax, accounting, employment, corporate, and regulatory obligations.
• Contractual requirements and client instructions.
• Security, fraud prevention, backup cycles, litigation holds, and dispute needs.
• Risk and sensitivity of the information.

Illustrative categories

• Enquiries and routine communications: retained for follow-up and relationship history, then deleted or archived.
• Contracts, invoices, and project records: retained for the agreement term and applicable legal or audit periods.
• Applicant records: retained based on recruitment needs, consent, equal-employment obligations, and applicable law.
• Security logs: retained for monitoring, incident response, and investigation based on risk and system capacity.
• Marketing records: retained until opt-out plus a suppression record needed to honor the request.

Deletion and exceptions

Deletion may involve secure destruction, anonymization, or restriction. Information may remain temporarily in backups or be retained longer due to legal holds, investigations, fraud prevention, security incidents, or legal requirements.

Current configured approach

only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described, legal obligations, dispute resolution, security, and legitimate business records.
