- fraud prevention and dispute resolution
- legal claims and regulatory obligations
- marketing suppression records where needed to respect opt-out choices
If we do not specify an exact retention period, we apply retention criteria based on the nature of the data, the purpose of processing, and any legal or operational need to retain it. ICO guidance says you should tell people your retention periods, or the criteria used to decide them if you do not have a fixed period.
