Rejection periods

How long are the rejection periods for a violation of the EU GDPR and when does it start? I hope you can answer that question for me already desperate for it. Do you also advise companies on establishing data protection law?

Answer:

If by “rejection periods” you refer to retention periods the EU GDPR is not very concise on this topic and it only states that personal data is not to be processed “longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed”. So, basically is the duty of every controller to establish these periods also considering some of the mandatory retention periods established by Member States in certain areas

Such mandatory retention periods can be found for example in labor law or tax law and they may vary from country to country so this needs to be checked on a case by case basis.
