ANNEX XI
INFORMATION LEAFLET ON THE PROCESSING OF DATA WITHIN EURODAC
Template on “What you need to know about Eurodac” for applicants
– Eurodac general information template for adults (general audience)
| Topic | Simplified text version |
|---|---|
| Cover page | Title: What you need to know about Eurodac |
| Objectives | Why am I receiving this brochure? You are receiving this brochure because your biometric data needs to be taken by the authorities. Biometric data means fingerprints and your photograph. This data, together with information on your identity and other relevant information, will be transmitted to the Eurodac database. Your rights during this process and what is expected of you is explained in this brochure. What is Eurodac? Eurodac is a European database that stores and compares information on certain categories of person entering the EU+ countries. These categories are detailed in this brochure. This database is used by 31 EU+ countries who can process your data and retrieve your information. The EU+ countries are listed at the end of this brochure. If you travel to another EU+ country without permission and your data is taken again, all of your data that is stored in Eurodac will be seen by the authorities of that country. In some cases, your data will be updated with new information. What is the aim of Eurodac? Eurodac has five main aims: (1) to help EU+ countries decide which country is responsible for examining an application for international protection (2) to help monitor regular and irregular migration to the EU+ countries (3) to share information between national authorities and prevent crime and terrorism (4) to make sure that children arriving in Europe can be traced and protected (5) to make sure other European databases containing information on aspects such as visas work correctly. |
| Categories of data subjects | Whose data is stored in Eurodac? Eurodac contains data of people who are not nationals of an EU+ country who: • applied for international protection • crossed the border of an EU+ country without permission • have been disembarked to an EU+ country after being rescued at sea • are staying illegally in an EU+ country • arrived to an EU+ country through an EU resettlement or humanitarian admission programme or national resettlement programme • have been granted temporary protection. |
| Categories of authorities who can access Eurodac data | Who can see my data? The national asylum authorities in the EU+ country will take your biometric data and transmit it, together with other relevant data, to Eurodac and receive the result of the comparison. The EU Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation and national police may request access to Eurodac for the purpose of preventing, detecting and investigating serious crimes and terrorism. They may search for your data in Eurodac. IMPORTANT ! The authorities in your home country will not be able to access this information. |
| Obligations/Consequences of non-compliance | What happens if I refuse to give my fingerprints? You are obliged by law to provide your biometric data. There are important reasons why your fingerprints are needed. If you have applied for asylum, this is a necessary step in the procedure. Fingerprint data can also help finding family members present in the EU+ countries. If your fingertips are damaged, fingerprints will be taken again in the future. If you damage your fingerprints on purpose, there will be negative consequences. For example if you have made an application for asylum, the procedure may be stopped. If the procedure is stopped in your case, this means you are no longer considered an applicant (asylum seeker). You will lose all rights connected to that status, now and in the future. The authorities of the EU+ countries may use coercion as a last resort to obtain your biometric data. They may also detain you, as a measure of last resort, to determine or verify your identity. You can find more information about the negative consequences of refusing to provide your fingerprints in the section at the end of this brochure titled ‘other useful information’. |
| Rights of the data subject | What are my rights regarding my Eurodac data? Every EU+ country has an authority that controls data use. You have the right to contact the data controller and data protection officer and ask to access your data that is stored in Eurodac. You can request your information to be corrected if you feel it is: • inaccurate and needs to be corrected • incomplete and needs updating • You can request that your information is deleted if you feel it is:entered into Eurodac unlawfully. You can find the contact details for the data controller and data protection officer in the section at the end of this brochure titled ‘other useful information’. If you would like to make a formal complaint about the handling of your data, you can contact the national supervisory authority. You can find the contact details for the national supervisory authority at the end of this brochure in the section titled ‘other useful information’. |
| EU+ countries | The EU+ countries are: • the 27 Member States of the European Union (EU): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and • 4 other countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. |

You are guaranteed that one of the EU+ countries will examine your application for international protection but you cannot choose which EU+ country will be responsible. The country that examines your application will be decided by the rules of the Asylum and Migration Management Regulation. If you move to another EU+ country without permission and your fingerprints are taken again, all of your data that is stored in Eurodac will be seen by the authorities of that country. |
