# Archivierungsservice URZ

The **Archivierungsservice URZ** is a specialized service for the long-term preservation of research data after a project has concluded.

## Purpose and Requirements
- **Compliance**: The service ensures that data retention periods required by third-party funders are met.
- **Retention Period**: Currently, a minimum retention period of 10 years after project completion is mandated.
- **Access**: Access to archived data is restricted and requires explicit authorization.

This service complements the [[zentrale-datenspeicherung]], which is used for active data storage during the project's runtime.
