Of course, the answer is yes. But who’s the best service provider in Canada?
You see Canada’s private-sector privacy legislation (PIPEDA) requires organizations to retain personal information only “as long as necessary”, regardless of the format in which such information is held. So emails and paper records alike should only be retained as long as necessary.
I know that many organizations across Canada are struggling to develop business-friendly retention schedules that comply with the law. In some cases, these businesses are outsourcing their efforts. Do you work with such a company? Does your company offer these services? If so, I know that readers of this blog would welcome any positive recommendations. Feel free to post a “Comment” below with your thoughts.
