I'm pretty sure the principle doesn't apply here, as these are known regulations requiring the retention and transmission of data, not post-hoc warrants etc. It's like the IRS requiring you to keep receipts.

Right, which is exactly why he is asking for collection policy, aka, what data are you getting in the first place?

If its anything like most companies data retention boils down to "we keep everything that someone decided to log in an adhoc fashion, and we keep it forever unless we run out of disk space then we delete it again in an adhoc fashion".
