That is an excellent way to put this, no one knows who is going to be in power in years to come.

Hence the GDPR can only gather the info needed and for as long as is needed.

The latter is probably contentious, but under the GDPR we do have the right to know what data people have about us, so that we ca also check for accuracy and get it updated. I am sure the same act also allows data to be removed.

clearly an employer may keep data on us for as long as we work for them, plus a bit longer.
