Data retention requirements mandate that entities involved in digital asset activities store specific information for a designated period. These rules typically cover transaction records, customer identification data, and communication logs. Such directives are implemented by regulatory bodies to facilitate audits, investigations, and compliance checks. Adherence ensures that relevant information is available for supervisory review and legal processes.
