The European Union (EU) takes strong measures to protect data collected by the Entry/Exut System (EES) against abuse and restricts access to it to specific staff within national authorities:

• Except in certain cases, your data cannot be transferred to third parties (public or private entities). Refer to 6207 Who can access your personal and biometric data collected at a European border?
• All data processing is performed by the European countries using the EES.

The EU Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security, and Justice (eu-LISA) is responsible for developing and managing the EES and ensuring that the EES is operated in accordance with all applicable legislation. Visit the eu-LISA for more info.

Safeguards

According to the European Union (EU), the following safeguards are in place for the effective protection of your personal data rights:

• as a non-EU national to which the EES applies, you have the right to request access to your data, or to request the rectification, completion or deletion of data relating to you in the EES.
• the EES is supervised by both the European Data Protection Supervisor and independent national supervisory authorities in every participating country;
• the EES has been developed in accordance with the principles of data protection by design and by default;
• full compliance with fundamental rights and data protection rules requires technology and information systems to be well designed and correctly used.
