qualitative (data) retention limits
Haven't seen the term before, but 'qualitative data retention limits' or perhaps even 'data quality retention limits' might be an option.
See http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3937/is_200010/ai_n8... , for example.

Discussion
The original is rather badly written, so the translation will be a complete rewrite anyway. You have full freedom.
Cheers,
