Data retention as a concept has evolved from organisational data governance strategy to becoming one of the key privacy principles enshrined in numerous data protection laws over the years.

Practically, it means that data should be purged, deleted, returned, archived, or destroyed after its processing purpose is fulfilled and compliance requirements met. In India, however, this task can be particularly complex, given the multiple laws and regulations governing data retention.
