• For secondary and post-secondary data, anonymization after ten years.

The data will be in a format that will prevent it from being de-anonymized and remove any possibility of re-identifying the individual.

At any time, NOCTI/NBS will, upon written request from customer, remove customer data by anonymizing it in a manner that makes it impossible to de-anonymize and re-identify the individual.
