Question
The Traffic Department of a city wants to know how many cars travel daily in order to plan the number of spaces needed to implement a rotating parking system. To do this, cameras were installed at strategic points. Through image recognition software it is possible to capture the license plate and know how many cars traveled in the city. A monthly report is issued with the average number of cars present each day. Signs and posters were spread around the city informing drivers and citizens what is the purpose of processing and that the data will be stored for up to five years, for future comparison.

Explanation
Here we have a very common catch in EXIN exams. As stated "monthly a report is issued". Therefore, the report issued and with the average number of cars for each day is known, there is no longer a need to keep the license plate records. The parking as well as sufficient for a future comparison. So, there is no need to keep personal data stored for 5 years. You may be wondering if a license plate is personal data. The answer is yes. Any information that makes it possible to identify a person is considered personal data. A real and interesting example was a wife who identified her husband's car at a friend's house through Google Maps. The license plates on Google Maps are erased for security, but the car had a specific sticker. See that the wife gathered two pieces of information: car model and sticker, to identify her husband. In isolation neither of these two is a personal data, but together they become, because it was possible to identify it. Luckily for his wife, who discovered his affair with her friend.
