Regular monitoring ensures ongoing compliance with transfer requirements and the maintenance of appropriate protection standards throughout the transfer process.

7. Data Retention Periods

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Retention periods are determined based on the nature of the data, processing purposes, and applicable legal requirements.

Account information is typically retained for seven years following account closure to meet regulatory obligations. Financial transaction records are maintained for the periods specified by anti-money laundering legislation. Marketing data is processed until consent is withdrawn. Technical logs are usually retained for shorter periods unless required for ongoing security investigations.
