Document Retention Policy

Adopted by Resolution of the Governing Board of Pax Fauna

In order to adopt a Document Retention and Destruction Policy, the Board of Directors of Pax Fauna has resolved that all critical information will be retained for seven years or permanently, as described in the categories below. Records will be retained, at the discretion of the Board, either in hard copy or in electronic form; provided, however, if retained electronically, then a second copy of the data shall be made and stored at a second site.

Policy is to cooperate with any reasonable request for information from Government agencies. Notwithstanding any retention guidelines, under no circumstances shall any records (written or electronic) known to be the subject of, or germane to, any anticipated or pending lawsuit or governmental investigation be removed, altered, or destroyed.
