# Data Retention Policy

NTT Data’s data retention policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Core principles include:

* Purpose Limitation: Data is collected for specific purposes and retained only as long as necessary.
* Retention Periods: Defined for each data category based on legal and business needs.
* Periodic Review: Stored data is regularly evaluated for continued relevance and deleted when no longer needed.
* Regulatory Compliance: Supports data subjects’ rights, including the right to erasure.
* Documentation & Auditing: Activities related to retention and deletion are logged for transparency and accountability.

This policy promotes responsible data management and regulatory compliance.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://trustcenter.syntphony.com/products/syntphony-business-transformation/intelligent-automation/privacy/data-retention-policy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
