The GDPR principle of storage limitation determines that personal data must be erased (or anonymised) when 'no longer necessary'.
As such, data controllers must embed appropriate technical and organisational measures into operations, to allow for the periodical review of personal data and to the erasure (or anonymisation) of any 'non-necessary' data, thus achieving compliance with GDPR's data storage requirements.
An overview on the impact of the 'storage limitation' principle on organisations' operations will be undertaken, considering:
- Storage limitation (structured, unstructured data);
- Data minimisation (data collection, data hygiene);
- Time limitation (retention policies, procedures and time schedules);
- Risks of non-compliance (Data subject rights, data breaches).
This session will thus provide a holistic and pragmatic framework-based approach to storage limitation and its ongoing compliance.
