Background on the US data retention schedule
In US, it is key to get control over your data to comply with applicable laws. US’s Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Federal Trade Commission Act lays 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 US requires the storage of certain data categories for surprisingly deviating periods than you may expect.
The filerskeepers US data retention schedule contains:
- Over 8,258 US (Federal) data retention periods relevant to your company
- 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
