Kernrechtsfrage
Whether continued storage of POLIS data after dismissal of criminal proceedings was lawful and proportionate.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Continued retention cannot be upheld without examining whether the data are still concretely needed and whether special circumstances justify earlier deletion.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that POLIS retention engages data-protection rights and must be assessed under proportionality. Standard retention periods usually suffice, but exceptional cases may require earlier deletion, especially where a person was wrongly drawn into the investigation or is clearly exonerated.
