After the end of this status of limitation (after four years), your data will be erased entirely.

If longer retention periods apply after the time periods listed above (e.g., because we are obliged to store the data for tax purposes or civil or criminal proceedings where initiated) our aim also includes that the data will be blocked until the end of the respective retention period and then erased.
