In its new judgement the Court of Justice of the European Union stated that the general and indiscriminate storage of biometric and genetic data of persons convicted of an intentional offence, until their death, is contrary to EU law. Under EU law, national legislation must lay down an obligation for the data controller to review periodically whether that storage is still necessary and to grant the data subject the right to have those data erased if that is no longer the case.
