Data protection in immigration and asylum: Rights and opportunities for redress
Join us for the next edition of our training workshop on data protection law in immigration and asylum proceedings, this Thursday, 16:00-18:00 CET.
Register here.
About the workshop
People seeking access to EU territory can be denied entry, or have an immigration or asylum application refused, on the basis of what amounts to secret evidence: information of which they have no knowledge and thus are unable to challenge.
In the context of plans to increase information exchange between EU and non-EU states and to increase access by law enforcement authorities to EU information systems, the problem is likely to grow in years to come.
There is a need to ensure that individuals have access to an effective remedy when faced with such a situation, and the rights afforded by EU data protection legislation offer a way to support that.
By the end of this workshop, participants will have:
- An overview of the EU legal framework and technological infrastructure for migration and asylum
- How EU privacy and data protection law applies in immigration and asylum proceedings, and relevant jurisprudence
- How to prepare and file data subject access requests (DSARs) in relation to immigration and asylum proceedings, and how to challenge refusals and restrictions
