Attention!
Always check whether there are specific retention periods for certain data categories in national legislation (e.g. for tax law reasons) and take these into account accordingly in your deletion concept.
Tip
In practice, it has proven useful to plan one or two "deletion days" per year. If things are a little quieter in your organisation, it is a good idea for employees to check which data can be deleted in their respective areas. This routine ensures that the storage of personal data in the organisation is regularly reviewed.
