These periods are shown in the company inventory. After these periods expire, personal data are deleted, destroyed or anonymized. In the event that the period stipulated in the legislation for the storage of the personal data in question expires or no period is stipulated in the relevant legislation for the storage of the data in question, the data is deleted, destroyed or anonymized by the data controller in 6-month periods.
