9) in the case of investigation and executive assistance data, crime
report data is deleted one year after the expiry of the statute of
limitations for the suspected offence, and other report data five years
after the recording of the report; if there are several offences in the
same report of an offence, the data is deleted one year after the
expiry of the statute of limitations for the most recent suspected
offence; if it was only possible to determine the time at which the
offence was committed as a time interval, the deadline for deletion of
the data is calculated from the later of the interval times.

A DNA profile recorded in a police personal data file under Chapter 6,
section 5 of the Coercive Measures Act is deleted from the file one
year after the file keeper was informed of the prosecutor’s decision
stating that no offence has been committed or that there is no proof of
an offence, or of waiving the charges brought against the data subject
by a final court decision or of exempting the person from penal
liability. If the profile is not deleted at an earlier stage, it shall be
deleted no later than ten years after the data subject’s death. Stored
samples are destroyed at the same time as their corresponding DNA
profiles are deleted.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections 1 and 2, entries
concerning persons suspected of an offence who are under 15 years
of age are deleted from the data system one year after the data
subject reaches 18 years of age, unless a shorter time has been laid
down for deletion of the data. However, the data is not deleted on
these grounds if:
1) the report concerns other suspects whose data is not yet deleted;
2) one of the entries concerns a criminal act punishable by
imprisonment only; or
3) in the case of a data subject registered as a suspect of an offence
when under 15 years of age, new entries are made for the person as
a suspect before he or she reaches 18 years of age.
