The Data Management Center feature comes with a set of policies already configured for each country in the European Union (EU). See European Union Personal Data Retention. You can create additional policies for other countries in the Person Management > Policies tab in System Admin > Data Management Center.
You can add new policies as a set for each country. You must create a whole set of policies for each country. You should consider the following points when you’re creating a set of policies for a country:
- The policy for HR data must be the same length or longer than the policies for all other types of data. This is because the HR data type deletes the entire employee master record, so employees who have their HR data deleted will no longer appear anywhere in Dayforce.
- If you don't want to delete a certain type of data, you can set that type's retention period to 99 years. Data with a retention period of 99 years isn’t identified or deleted during the data minimization process.
- It’s recommended that you start with an existing country's set of policies and then make changes as required, rather than creating an entire set of policies for a new country from scratch.
