Retention & Disposal Clause Samples

The Retention & Disposal clause defines how long certain documents, records, or data must be kept and the procedures for their secure destruction once they are no longer needed. Typically, this clause specifies retention periods based on legal, regulatory, or business requirements, and outlines acceptable methods for disposing of sensitive or confidential information, such as shredding paper files or permanently deleting electronic records. Its core function is to ensure compliance with applicable laws, protect sensitive information, and reduce the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches by providing clear guidelines for managing and disposing of records.

The original data provided by each LA will be combined with the data that the IFS is collecting directly from the young people and practitioners to create a new dataset. At this point the IFS becomes the Data Controller for this new dataset. The LA has no Data Controller responsibilities for the new dataset. At the end of the efficacy trial (or the end of the pilot phase if the decision is made to not proceed to efficacy) the original LA data files will be destroyed.
