Section 50 Processing for archiving, scientific and statistical purposes

Personal data may be processed in the context of purposes listed in Section 45 in archival, scientific or statistical form if doing so is in the public interest and appropriate safeguards for the legally protected interests of data subjects are implemented. Such safeguards may consist of rendering the personal data anonymous as quickly as possible, taking measures to prevent unauthorized disclosure to third parties, or in processing them organizationally and spatially separate from other tasks.
