e. kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is
necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; 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 subject to implementation of the appropriate
technical and organisational measures required by the DPA in order to safeguard
the rights and freedoms of individuals; and
