Retention schedule
- Art. 5 Abs. 1 lit. e DSGVO Open in the law texts
- Art. 17 DSGVO Open in the law texts
- § 35 BDSG Open in the law texts
Retention periods per data type with their legal basis (HGB, AO, EStG, AGG), start of the period, erasure rule and erasure runs as deadlines; checks periods that are too short or too long.
One entry per data type or document class: how long it must or may be kept, when the period starts and how it is erased. The basis is storage limitation (Art. 5(1)(e) GDPR) and the right to erasure (Art. 17); the structure follows the idea of DIN 66398.
