If I successfully remove my data from a Purple Notice, will that information remain in national police databases?

Not automatically. A CCF deletion order removes data from INTERPOL’s central databases and requires member countries to delete corresponding records from their national systems. However, compliance varies. Some National Central Bureaus delay implementation, and certain countries maintain parallel domestic intelligence files outside INTERPOL’s jurisdiction. After obtaining a CCF decision, we typically send formal notifications directly to specific countries where the client has encountered problems, demanding confirmation of deletion. In the EU, separate GDPR-based requests to national authorities can compel removal from domestic law enforcement databases independently of the INTERPOL process.
