Background on the Australia complete data retention subscription
In Australia, it is key to get control over your data to comply with applicable laws. Australia’s Federal Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) lay down the principles of handling data. It is more important than ever to know which data to retain, and for how long and which data to delete. Especially since Australia requires the storage of certain data categories for surprisingly deviating periods than you may expect.
The filerskeepers Australia data retention subscription currently contains:
- Over 6000 Australian federal, state and territory data retention periods
- Information about who should keep what data, for which time period, starting when, it is a maximum or minimum period
- All with a legal reference and a link to the official legal source
- Printer friendly format, designed for A4 printing
