Data Retention Policy Template

A data retention policy addresses how long an organization retains specific types of data, how that data is stored, and when it should be securely deleted. This policy helps ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements while reducing the risks associated with holding unnecessary data. Use this template to simplify the process of creating your own policy.

What you'll get:

  • An outline of key sections in a data retention policy
  • Guidelines for disposing of data securely
  • Specific PCI DSS requirements that are related to data retention, masking, and reviews
