That would be covered under the “destroying evidence” - It’s just being destroyed before it can be determined to be evidence, which is legal if done because of retention policies.
(Identifying data and establishing which policies apply to it is part of my work, I just find it ironic that we’re effectively pre-deleting evidence).
It’s just data until it can be considered evidence. The moment we get a discovery letter, of course we’re legally obligated to preserve the records, but until then it’s just company data and we can do with it whatever we want, including destroying it, otherwise everything in the world is “evidence”
