¹ The re­sid­ual data memory is used to store data that can­not be im­me­di­ately al­loc­ated to an­oth­er sys­tem in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 48.

²If an in­form­a­tion entry in the re­sid­ual data memory con­tains per­son­al data, an as­sess­ment of rel­ev­ance and ac­cur­acy in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 45 para­graph 1 is made for the entry as a whole and not in re­la­tion to the in­di­vidu­al per­son­al data. An in­di­vidu­al as­sess­ment is made if the per­son­al data is trans­ferred to an­oth­er in­form­a­tion sys­tem.

³ FIS em­ploy­ees that have the task of re­cord­ing, re­search­ing, eval­u­at­ing and as­sur­ing the qual­ity of the data have on­line ac­cess to the re­sid­ual data memory.

⁴ The max­im­um re­ten­tion peri­od for the data is 10 years.
