7. Data Retention and Disposal

IPSCO seeks to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, applicable organisational requirements and relevant legal obligations.

When information is no longer required, IPSCO will seek to delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it in accordance with applicable procedures and legal requirements.

Certain records may need to be retained for legal, accounting, administrative or safeguarding purposes where permitted or required by law.
