Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to any applicable legal, accounting, tax or evidentiary retention obligations.
Contact and prospect data may be retained for up to three years from its collection or from the last meaningful contact initiated by the person concerned, unless a shorter period is sufficient or a longer period is required by law or justified by the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where a request leads to a contractual relationship, the relevant data may be retained for the duration of that relationship and then archived for the periods necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations or to preserve evidence.
When client accounts become available, AUKIAN will define a specific inactivity period and deletion procedure. As a general policy target, an account that has remained inactive for two years may be considered for deletion, subject to prior notice where appropriate and to any legal or contractual need to retain certain information.
