In connection with the storage of your data, the German Money Laundering Act (as one example for the legal situation in the European Union) speaks of the so-called "recording and storage of data collected and information obtained". A record - regardless of the information - can always be made by printing out the information. However, the German Money Laundering Act explicitly regulates that the requesting body may also store your records digitally on a data carrier. In our experience, digital storage of records is the rule. If the demanding body stores the records digitally, it must keep its records available and be able to make them readable at any time within a reasonable period.
