Data retention<\/h1>\n

What does data retention mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Data retention refers to the storage and retention of certain data for the purpose of investigating, detecting and prosecuting criminal offenses. For example, DSL or mobile phone providers are supposed to store their customers' data for a longer period of time in order to facilitate criminal prosecution in particular. In the case of data retention, the intended retention period goes well beyond the duration permitted for purely contractual purposes and is not necessary for the performance of a contract, billing or similar purposes.<\/p>\n

Practical example<\/h2>\n

Personal data is stored in accordance with the statutory data retention period and duly deleted after this period has expired.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
