Where I work there is a data retention policy, and emails and other forms of communication (internal emails and slack, but even customer calls, etc) are deleted after a set amount of time, which varies depending on the rationale for storing that data.
There’s many reasons to do this - limit disclosure issues in case of litigation, reduce storage costs, comply with PII rules around the world, etc. The guys in Legal have us file these loong ass forms about all this, including where the data is kept, security measures, etc etc etc.
I’m shocked this isn’t common practice everywhere.
Wait wait, hold up. So Disney is providing trips to homeless kids to visit their amusement parks? Couldn’t they think of another way of changing these kids lives in a more… lasting way?
But in case screw those scumbags who took the trips.
