NEWTECNIC DATA RETENTION POLICY

This policy sets out Newtecnic's data retention rules and explains what is expected of all Newtecnic personnel and associated persons. We ask all staff to act according to the spirit and the values represented by these policies in all activities undertaken as part of Newtecnic.

On completion of the outputs for any given project, or expiry of an agreement, Newtecnic shall promptly:

1. Return to the other relevant parties all printed documents and materials (and any copies) containing such parties' confidential information.

2. Erase all the other relevant parties' confidential information from its computer systems (to the extent possible).

3. On request, certify in writing to the other relevant parties that it has complied with this policy.

All projects on which Newtecnic is engaged have a document management system, where the all consultant information is stored and where all consultant and client representatives can access project outputs. Consequently, Newtecnic does not retain other consultants' information either during the project, or after completion of the project, as the document management system, specific to the project, will hold that information.
