How long can data collected for the purposes of Eurodac be processed?

Pursuant to the Council Regulation (EC) No 2725/2000 of 11 December 2000 concerning the establishment of Eurodac for the comparison of fingerprints for the effective application of the Dublin Convention, the storage period of data collected for the purposes of Eurodac shall depend on the category of data subjects.

In relation to applicants for asylum the storage period of data in the central database shall be limited to ten years from the date on which the fingerprints were taken (Art. 6 of the Regulation) . Upon expiry of this period, the Central Unit shall automatically erase the data from the central database.

However, data relating to a person who has acquired citizenship of any Member State before expiry of the period referred to above shall be erased from the central database as soon as the Member State of origin becomes aware that the person has acquired such citizenship.

Data on aliens who irregularly crossed by land, sea or air the border and who are not turned back to the territory of a third country where they came from shall be stored for two years from the date on which the fingerprints of the alien were taken (Art. 10 of the Regulation). Upon expiry of this period, the data shall be automatically erased from the central database. Before expiry of this period the data can be erased by the Member State who transmits data to the central unit, if:

  1. the alien has been issued with a residence permit,
  2. the alien has left the territory of the Member States,
  3. the alien has acquired the citizenship of any Member State.
Fingerprint data on aliens found illegally present within the Member State’s territory transmitted with a view to checking whether an alien has previously lodged an application for asylum shall not be recorded in the central database. Once the results of the comparison have been transmitted to the Member State of origin transmitting personal data to the Central Unit, the Central Unit shall forthwith erase the fingerprint data and other data transmitted to it and destroy the media used by the Member State of origin for transmitting the data, unless this Member State of origin has requested their return.
