Europol ordered to erase data on those not linked to crime

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) has ordered Europol to erase personal data on individuals that haven’t been linked to criminal activity. The decision follows an own-initiative inquiry started on April 30, 2019, regarding the EU police body’s use of Big Data Analytics for personal data processing activities. EDPS has now imposed a 6-month retention period on the personal information collected by the police body, which means that Europol must erase all data not filtered within six months its databases.”]
