They may not be passed on without the consent of the FOCBS.
Art. 12f Archiving and destruction of data
1 The data recorded shall be kept only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was recorded. 2 The data recorded during a check shall be destroyed immediately if the check reveals that the vehicle registration plate is registered in the FOCBS information system.
