Translations:De GDPR en archiefzorg: wat is er nog mogelijk?/15/en

When explaining the principle of storage restriction, the GDPR also states that personal data may be stored for longer periods ‘insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes’. This enables processing operations such as long-term and sustainable storage, transferring archives, making archives accessible and consultable, creating an inventory or other access, etc. The protection of personal data must be actively pursued in all these processes. Article 89 of the GDPR, which establishes a specific exception for archiving, deals with this in more detail and states that appropriate technical and organisational measures must be in place.
