Google Cloud Storage provides an Object Lifecycle Management feature that can help automate data

retention and deletion processes, ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations while

minimizing storage costs.

Lifecycle Management: Object Lifecycle Management allows you to define rules that automatically

delete objects after a specific period. This ensures that data is only retained for the required amount

of time and is deleted once it expires.

Configuration: You can configure lifecycle rules to delete objects based on conditions such as the age

of the object, the creation date, or custom metadata. This allows for precise control over the

retention period of your data.

Cost Efficiency: By using lifecycle policies to delete data automatically, you can reduce storage costs,

as you only pay for the storage you actively use.
