Our methodology

We read all the laws and regulations in the world in search of records retention obligations and statutory limitations. From there we obtain all retention obligations and statutory limitations and place them in our taxonomy.

We check for missing topics and obligations and confirm our findings based on our taxonomy. We check with local counsel where necessary, receive user feedback and track for changes in the law!
