If you bought designer drugs 10 years ago, the act of buying was legal, even though storing it today no longer is. Same here, collecting it or using it 10 years ago might have been legal. Storing it today is not. You might be confused which action is covered by the law, and that action is "storing". You can decide to stop doing that action today, so it is not retroactive at all.

I don't really see where the age of the data you store comes into play.
