WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE uk United Kingdom London - STATEWATCH - UPDATE - Out now: Data Protection Handbook on Asylum and Migration in Europe ⚠️

 

­ UPDATE Just published: Data Protection Handbook on Asylum and Migration in Europe Dear Statewatcher, We have just published a handbook that explains how data protection law can be used for immigration and asylum cases in the EU.  The EU’s immigration and asylum system is incredibly complex, and the increasing reliance on digital technologies and databases is making it worse. This guide offers an overview of key digital technologies, as well as privacy and data protection concepts and cases. While it is specifically aimed at lawyers, caseworkers, volunteers and others working on immigration and asylum cases, the insights it offers can also help advocacy around data protection and the rights of migrants and asylum seekers. We hope you will read it and help us spread the word by sharing it in your networks. Chris Jones Director Get the guide >> ­  "Technologies are becoming an essential part of the migration and asylum systems. In fact, some of the most intrusive and biased tools have been tested around Europe.  ­ No matter what these tools are for or how they are used, they are all reliant to some degree on personal data. This is why knowledge of data protection law is so vital for immigration and asylum practitioners."
