Literally no reason to do this but for this precise goal.
- escapedmoose 3y agoI was the records retention lead for a bank for a few years. Deletion projects are also conducted to reduce storage costs, but yes, ensuring that you’re not retaining unnecessary information that you could be subpoenaed on is a large factor as well.
- billythemaniam 3y agoStorage costs are an excellent reason as someone else said. Another reason is security, less data sitting around to be leaked, either accidentally or purposely, the better. Another reason is privacy, less data sitting around that can be used against you.
- kobalsky 3y agoyou don't owe the information you are not required to keep IF you have deleted it. if you still have it and delete it after you were asked to provide it, it will land you in jail. this is IRS audit 101. I guess they have their own similar reasons.
