3 b. Notes that on 30 April 2019, the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) decided to open an own initiative inquiry on the use of Big Data Analytics by the Agency for purposes of strategic and operational analysis (case 2019- 0370); further notes that in line with Regulation (EU)2016/794, the EDPS has the task of supervising the lawfulness of personal data processing by the Agency as of 1 May 2017; notes that in the context of its inquiry, the EDPS admonished the Agency in September 2020 for the continued storage of large volumes of data with no Data Subject Categorisation, where no link to criminal activity can be established, thereby posing a risk to individuals’ fundamental rights; reminds that while some measures have been put in place by the Agency since then, the Agency has not complied with the EDPS requests to define an appropriate data retention period to filter and to extract the personal data permitted for analysis under Regulation (EU) 2016/794; highlights that this means that the Agency was keeping this data for longer than necessary, contrary to the principles of data minimisation and storage limitation, enshrined in Regulation (EU) 2016/794; further notes that on 21 December 2021, the EDPS decided to order the Agency, in accordance with Article 43(3)(e) of Regulation (EU) 2016/794, to delete data concerning individuals with no established link to a criminal activity within six months, concluding the inquiry launched in 2019;
