Are There any Exceptions Where Data Does Not Have to be Deleted?

Yes, but they are narrowly interpreted. Common exceptions include:

  • Information made public by the government.

  • Data required to comply with other laws (e.g., certain financial or health records).

  • Data needed for fraud prevention or security purposes.

Businesses must document the exception relied upon.
