The needs of data protection require us to ensure that:

• Data is frequently backed up so that it can be recovered in all cases
• Data is secured with a password
• Data can always be freely used in the company as it is a company asset
• Data is encrypted at all times
• Data is processed only in ways compatible with the intended and communicated use it was collected for, and respects the consent of the data subject

Non-value-added information is often not removed because:

• It should not be removed. All data is value-added
• Legislation is unclear on what should be kept
• Data is an asset. It is likely to be recognized as valuable in the future
• We might need the information at a later stage
• The policies are unclear of what is defined as non-value-added, storage is cheap so there is no cost driver, and it takes more effort to dispose than to keep
