Aegumistähtaegad

Aegumistähtaegad is a term used in Estonian-language discussions of governance, risk management, and data retention to denote a set of deadlines that govern expiration-related actions. The term is a compound formed from elements related to time, expiration, and deadlines, and is typically used in plural form as aegumistähtaegad.

In practice, aegumistähtaegad describes the schedule by which rights, licenses, documents, or digital assets reach their validity end and the steps required when they do. It includes not only the moment of expiration but also pre-expiration notice periods, renewal windows, and post-expiration retention or disposal rules.

Applications: organizations use aegumistähtaegad in contract management, regulatory compliance, records management, and information governance. For example, a licensing agreement might specify an aegumistähtaegad that triggers renewal notices, data deletion timelines after license termination, and archiving requirements for related records.

Variants and related terms: related ideas include tähtaeg (deadline), aegumine (expiration), and retention schedules or destruction policies. Because aegumistähtaegad is a relatively new or regionally used term, its exact definition and usage can vary between sectors and institutions.
