scope:

• The schedule below covers records relating to information management.
• For records relating to information management contracts (eg information storage contracts) see the Contracts and Procurement records disposal schedule.
• For information management policies see the Corporate Governance records disposal schedule.

The provisions of the schedule are to be applied to data in all formats (electronic or paper) and in all storage locations, whether active or inactive, other than to information stored on backup tapes or discs, which are subject to a different set of disposal rules based on disaster recovery requirements, and emails held in the Symantec Enterprise Archive Vault, which has a single retention policy applied to all content once ingested into the Vault. See the Information Management schedule for an explanation of the retention rules applied to backup discs and the 'email archive'.
