Data Storage and Retention Policy

The Storage and Retention Policy aims to establish and maintain storage mechanisms that ensure data is preserved securely and reliably, while also meeting data retention requirements for specified periods in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This policy covers multiple aspects, including disaster protection, proper data classification based on importance and sensitivity, appropriate retention periods for different types of data, and secure disposal procedures once retention periods expire.

By implementing this policy, the University ensures compliance with regulatory and reliability standards, protects its knowledge assets, and provides a supportive academic environment that fosters creativity and innovation. It also enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of educational and administrative processes. Accordingly, the University of Tabuk's Storage and Retention Policy is designed to address future challenges and ensure the sustainability and protection of university data.
