Check what is kept and for how long.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Review how Slack content is retained in my organisation, in order to prepare questions for the right people; this does not state what the law requires. What we know about retention settings for channels and direct messages: [RETENTION_SETTINGS]. Types of content shared in Slack (decisions, customer information, files, HR matters): [CONTENT_TYPES]. Our records and data protection policy, in summary: [POLICY_SUMMARY]. How legal holds or investigations are handled: [HOLD_PROCESS]. Compare practice with policy and identify gaps: decisions that exist only in Slack, sensitive information in channels with indefinite retention, files that belong in a records system, and unclear responsibility for requests to preserve or delete messages. Explain in plain words why a legal hold may override normal deletion and why staff should not delete messages once told to preserve them. Return a table with Topic, Current practice, Policy requirement, Gap and Question for legal or IT, and a short staff guide: put decisions in a decision log, do not paste sensitive data into chat, and report a mistaken post. Mark settings [VERIFY].
