WorkPEI manages user generated data that is processed and retained on its web server. To maintain efficient operation and performance of the website and to ensure we don’t retain user data any longer than is reasonably required, WorkPEI routinely archives the data to a secure location on the provincial government network.
Once archived on the government network, the information is then removed from the WorkPEI web server. Media attachments for applications and user profiles are not retained when archived.
