7. Retention Periods

There is often a legal reason for keeping your personal information for a set period, and we try to include these in the Council’s Retention and Disposal Policy.

For each service the schedule lists how long your information may be kept.  This ranges from months for some records to a lot longer for more sensitive records.  The retention periods are amended in line with any service, law or legislation changes.
