However, in cases where Europol receives personal data directly from private parties and the national unit, contact point or authority concerned cannot be identified, Europol should be able to process those personal data solely for the purpose of identifying those entities, and such data should be deleted unless those entities resubmit those personal data within four months after the transfer takes place.
Mar sin féin, i gcásanna ina bhfaigheann Europol sonraí pearsanta go díreach ó pháirtithe príobháideacha agus i gcás nach bhféadfar an t-aonad náisiúnta, an pointe teagmhála nó an t-údarás lena mbaineann a shainaithint, ba cheart do Europol bheith in ann na sonraí pearsanta sin a phróiseáil chun na heintitis sin a shainaithint agus chun na críche sin amháin, agus ba cheart sonraí den sórt sin a scriosadh mura ndéanann na heintitis sin na sonraí pearsanta sin a thíolacadh arís laistigh de cheithre mhí tar éis dóibh a bheith aistrithe.
