Retention and Weeding
Dear Police Scotland,
Looking at the Retention schedule SOP. Various time frames are used before weeding/destroying/deleting information. What system does Police Scotland use to ensure weeding/destroying/deleting takes place? Is it automatic or does each piece of data have to be manually examined and deleted.
Does Poliice Scotland it a breach legally, GDPR, if it fails to comply with its own Retention Schedules? If so does Police Scotland report itself to the Information Commissioner Office for breaches of non weeding/destroying/deleting?
Yours faithfully,
Mark Taylor
