A company has defined rules for how long data is stored and when it must be deleted. Which data governance policy does this describe?

Data retention policies define how long data is stored and when it must be deleted, ensuring compliance with legal, regulatory, and business requirements. This directly addresses the scenario of rules for data storage duration and deletion. Data de-identification focuses on anonymizing or pseudonymizing data to protect privacy, not retention periods. Data quality standards relate to the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of data, not its lifespan. Log storage is a specific type of data storage, but "log storage" itself isn't a data governance policy; rather, data retention policies would apply to logs.
