1. A method of extending retention periods of records, the method comprising:
identifying, at an electronic computing device, the retention period associated with a first electronically stored record;
obtaining, at the electronic computing device, information related to a future event, the information including a time period during which the future event is predicted or scheduled to occur and a location at which the future event is predicted or scheduled to occur;
determining, at the electronic computing device, that the first electronically stored record is contextually related to the future event based at least in part on the time period or the location of the future event;
extending, at the electronic computing device, the retention period associated with the first electronically stored record based on the determination that the first electronically stored record is contextually related to the future event; and
after the extended retention period expires, deleting the first electronically stored record in accordance with the extended retention period assigned to the first electronically stored record.
