In the race to build the next generation of artificial intelligence, data is king. This has supercharged the long-standing corporate habit of accumulating data. The "store everything" mentality of the big data era now clashes directly with GDPR’s principle of storage limitation. For privacy operations teams, this creates an enormous challenge: How do you enforce deletion policies when the business views every byte as potential fuel for future innovation?

This session offers a practical guide to breaking the data hoarding cycle. Learn how to build — and more importantly, implement — a modern data retention program that is both compliant and business-aware. Hear from leaders at TravelPerk, MUFG and BigID on moving from paper policies to automated enforcement and making defensible deletion a reality at scale.

What you will learn:

• How to frame data deletion as a strategic advantage: reducing risk, cost, and complexity rather than losing assets.
• Practical strategies for dynamic retention schedules and the role of automated discovery and classification in identifying data past its lifecycle.
• Technical approaches to deletion across cloud, backups, archives and even trained AI models.
