Inventory of processing activities and retention schedule

Answer:

Inventory of processing activities need to be filled in by the companies themselves, there are no “most used processing activities” since these are closely linked to the business. For example a call center processing activities will be different than the ones form a recruitment company. This is why we provided in the EU GDPR toolkit the ”Guidelines of Processing Activities Inventory” that will explain how you could tackle this task.

As for the Retention Schedule is somehow the same story especially for certain types of records for which retention period is established by local legal requirements for example the retention period for CCTV footage is different between various Member States the same goes for payroll related documents as well.
