1. How this schedule works
1.1This schedule sets out how long KBN keeps each kind of personal data and how it is removed. It supports the Privacy notice. Periods run from the event stated. "Automatic" means the software deletes the data on schedule; "on request or review" means KBN staff delete it following a request or a periodic review.
1.2At the end of a period, data is deleted or anonymised. Copies in backups are overwritten as the backup cycle rolls forward (see the last row). Data may be kept longer where it is needed for a pending complaint, appeal, disciplinary or legal matter, or where the law requires, and only for as long as that lasts.
