Legal holds in data retention: The process of preserving data that may be relevant to a legal matter. It is used by organizations to ensure that they do not destroy or alter any data that may be needed for a legal investigation or lawsuit. For example, a company may use legal holds in data retention to prevent the deletion of emails that may be relevant to a pending lawsuit.
