About this Gig
Keeping data forever is not just expensiveit is a massive legal liability.
Under modern privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA), retaining consumer or employee data longer than necessary is a direct violation. Furthermore, in the event of a lawsuit, holding unnecessary data drastically increases your e-discovery costs and legal exposure.
As a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar No. #149816), I will draft a comprehensive Data Retention and Destruction Policy for your company. This policy empowers your business to securely purge unnecessary data while strictly complying with mandatory legal holding periods for tax, HR, and corporate records.
Your customized policy will include:
- Categorized retention schedules (HR, financial, consumer data).
- Legally compliant data destruction and wiping procedures.
- "Legal Hold" protocols to suspend destruction during pending litigation.
Protect your enterprise by practicing legally sound data minimalism. Minimize your target size for hackers and regulators alike. Message me today to establish a secure data lifecycle for your business.

FAQ
Why can't my business just keep all data indefinitely?
Privacy laws now penalize companies for holding consumer data without a current, valid business purpose. It also unnecessarily increases the damages if you suffer a data breach.
What is a 'Legal Hold' protocol?
If your company is sued, you are legally required to stop deleting certain data. The Premium package includes the exact procedure for enacting this to prevent "spoliation of evidence" claims.
Does this policy cover physical documents or just digital?
The policy I draft for you will cover both physical paper records and digital data/cloud storage.
