  • Data retention is heavily tied to regulatory requirements, which vary depending on the type of application or benefit
  • Retention periods may differ based on the specific dataset and agency involved
  • Fraser offers to facilitate a more detailed review of existing datasets and their specific retention requirements with the council in the future
  • The complexity of data retention necessitates input from subject matter experts from various agencies
