Field Detail

SAFETY_MARGIN_DAYS_BEFORE_DELETION

public static final int SAFETY_MARGIN_DAYS_BEFORE_DELETION

The number of days to add as a safety margin to the calculated earliest deletion date before actually purging the data.

This buffer period ensures that data is not deleted prematurely due to potential inaccuracies or unforeseen circumstances in the deletion process or changes to the policies or underlying data that affects the retention period. This value is used in getQueryParamsForPurging().

According to GDPR regulations, it is acceptable to retain data for slightly longer than the strictly required minimum retention period, as long as the overall retention time remains reasonable and proportionate to the purpose of processing.
