The Email Records Retention Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating in Denmark, establishing standardized procedures for managing email communications in compliance with Danish and EU regulations. This policy becomes necessary as organizations face increasing regulatory scrutiny regarding data protection and record-keeping requirements. The document provides comprehensive guidance on retention periods, storage requirements, and deletion procedures, ensuring compliance with the Danish Data Protection Act, GDPR, and other relevant legislation. It addresses various types of email communications, from routine correspondence to business-critical records, and includes specific provisions for handling sensitive data, maintaining security, and managing legal holds. The policy is designed to help organizations balance regulatory compliance with practical operational needs while minimizing legal and regulatory risks.
