New Slack data retention policy
IT Services will be implementing a data retention policy for Slack at the beginning of 2025.
A data retention policy sets out how long data will be stored by an organisation before it is deleted. Implementing a policy at York will help limit the damages associated with a potential data breach or cybersecurity incident as well as help reduce our digital carbon footprint.
At this time, we’d like to invite all staff to read the new policy and share any feedback they have through our online form.
Please share any feedback by Friday 9 August.
What's next?
Once the form has closed, we will review and finalise the policy based on the feedback received.
We expect the policy to be implemented at the beginning of 2025, further communications will follow over the coming months on what it may mean for you.
