Build a data retention and deletion schedule grounded in legal basis. Use when asked to create a data retention policy, set retention periods, plan data deletion/minimisation, or answer 'how long can we keep this data?'.

# Data Retention Policy Skill
"Keep everything forever" is a liability, not a strategy — it grows breach exposure, violates data-
minimisation rules (GDPR, CCPA), and turns every data subject request into an archaeology project. This
skill builds a retention schedule that ties each data category to *how long* you keep it and *why*
(legal basis), with a concrete deletion trigger — so retention is a defensible policy, not an accident.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- **Data categories** — the kinds of data you hold (customer records, logs, financial, HR, marketing, backups).
- **Legal/regulatory drivers** — anything mandating minimum retention (tax/financial records, employment law) or maximum (GDPR minimisation, sector rules).
- **Business need** — why each category is genuinely needed and for how long.
