Data Retention & Secure Disposal

Keeping personal data for too long is a breach of the UK GDPR, but deleting it too early can break other laws. This course explains the storage limitation principle, how to build a retention schedule, which records have legal minimum periods, and how to dispose of data securely.

This course gives general information about UK law and official guidance as at October 2026. It is not legal advice. Laws and guidance change, so check the current official sources listed, or take professional advice, before acting in a specific case.
