As ETIAS exists only as a plan, it is not yet possible to make any precise statements. In addition, the laws on data processing are constantly changing. It is therefore possible that an adaptation may be necessary at a later stage. Of course, a system like ETIAS must also comply with the laws and thus also with the basic data protection regulation (DSGVO).
What is the basic data protection regulation?
The DSGVO is a regulation of the European Union. Its aim is to put data processing on a uniform basis within the EU. The regulation came into force on 25 May 2018 and replaced the older data protection regulation. The DSGVO consists of 99 articles and eleven chapters.
Particularly important is Article 6, which stipulates that data subjects must give their consent to data processing.
What data must travellers transmit
Travellers to the Schengen area who do not require a visa hardly need to store any data. A passport is sufficient for entry. ETIAS greatly increases the volume of data. All data is entered in an online form. Among other things, the traveller has to specify:
- The name
- The address
- The exact address
- E-mail address
- Phone number
- His passport number
- The first country he enters
- Probable existing diseases
- Probably the traveler will have to answer questions about the personal attitude
How is the data processed?
The data will be checked against the European databases. Currently there is the Schengen Information System, the Visa Information System, the Europol data and the Eurodoc database. Interpol makes its database available for lost and stolen travel items. Until the start of ETIAS, the so-called Entry/Exit System (EES) will be in place. Further databases are planned. In addition, travellers who pose a potential security risk must expect to be placed on the ETIAS Watchlist.
ETIAS complies with the European Data Regulation
Concrete statements as to whether ETIAS is in conformity with DSGVO do not yet exist. However, it is to be expected that the states will develop a system that is consistent with this important European regulation. After all, the European authorities have also initiated this regulation and it would be a breach of trust if ETIAS were not to comply.
