Privacy, Data Protection, and Retention
Harassment data often contains personal and sensitive information. Under GDPR and UK GDPR, organizations must minimize data collection, secure storage, and restrict access. Data subjects have rights to access, rectify, or erase information where allowed. Cross-border transfers require appropriate safeguards and processing agreements.
Retention and deletion policies ensure data are kept only as long as needed for investigations and compliance. Documentation of retention schedules supports accountability and legal defensibility.
