Why ? for recent transaction, they need to keep it for tax purposes but they have no legal need to keep old records.
- tut-urut-utut 5y agoIn some countries, they need to keep it for 10 years for tax and audit reasons. I wouldn't call 10 years "recent transactions". Heck, for most of the online shops, it's more like "forever".

- kelnos 5y agoI don't think "need" matters here. They have a record of a transaction, and they want to keep that record. I don't think I have a right to demand that they delete that data. The GDPR/CCPA/etc. likely has different requirements here, and probably requires deletion after they're no longer needed (for tax purposes or whatever). But I personally have financial records going back decades, so I can't fault a company for wanting to do the same thing.
