6. Retention

Data is kept for as long as required by the purpose of processing and by the retention periods set out in the applicable legislation, and is then deleted, destroyed or anonymised. Server logs are kept for a short period (normally no more than 30 days); unsuccessful job applications are kept for no more than six months after the end of the process.
