The traveller is required to provide a large amount of personal information when completing the ETIAS application. This can be a headache for many, as it is difficult to track the exact data stream. But here the all-clear can be given. The data will not be processed in accordance with the European data protection guidelines and will be deleted after an appropriate period of time.
What data must the traveler transmit
First, of course, the personal data, i.e. name, date of birth, place of residence, first country of entry and the number of the passport. In addition, some security questions are checked. It is not possible to say at the moment what exactly these will be. A look at the US-American ESTA system is helpful here. The information about illnesses may seem a little problematic, but this only refers to illnesses that could really endanger fellow travelers. In addition, questions about attitudes are conceivable and whether an application has ever been rejected.
Under no circumstances should the traveler answer any of the questions incorrectly. If the data in the passport are not exactly taken over, the tourist is rejected at the border or at the airport. Other information may also be rejected if the authorities determine this. In any case, the rejection will be noted, which can lead to problems on a later entry.
The ETIAS data is only stored for a limited time
The ETIAS authorisation is normally valid for three years. During this time, the data must also be retained. Longer retention for a further maximum of three years is possible, but the applicant must always agree. After this period, the data is automatically removed.
If the travel authorization is not granted, the data will be deleted five years after the final decision.
Other institutions may only access the data if they can demonstrate a legitimate interest. This must always involve terrorist activities or serious crimes. The data must contribute to preventing these crimes.
