Correct answer: Custodian.
Why this is the answer
The administrator's role in this scenario is that of a Custodian. A data custodian is responsible for the day-to-day maintenance, protection, and backup of data, ensuring it meets organizational standards, including retention policies. They implement the controls designed by the data owner. A Processor handles data on behalf of a controller but doesn't define retention standards. A Privacy Officer focuses on legal and regulatory compliance regarding data privacy, not direct data retention implementation. An Owner is ultimately accountable for the data and defines the policies and standards (like retention periods), but doesn't typically perform the hands-on implementation.
