The FIS shall offer data and files that are no longer required or that are earmarked for destruction to the Federal Archives. The Federal Archives shall archive data and files from the FIS in specially secured rooms. They are subject to a 50‑year retention period.
For archive materials that originate from foreign security services, the Federal Council may extend the retention period on several occasions for a limited period in accordance with Article 12 of the Archiving Act of 26 June 19981if the foreign security service concerned expresses reservations against any inspection.
The FIS may in specific cases inspect personal data during the retention period that it has passed to the Federal Archives for archiving in order to assess specific threats to internal or external security or to safeguard any other overriding public interest.
It shall destroy data and files that the Federal Archives has designated as not worth archiving.
