🇬🇧 English

This notice identifies the national authorities that may access, correct, or erase data in Eurodac, the EU database used to compare biometric data for asylum, migration, temporary protection, and identification of people staying irregularly. It mainly affects national immigration and asylum authorities, law enforcement access procedures, eu-LISA, and people whose biometric data is stored in Eurodac. For businesses, the practical impact is limited, but compliance teams working with migration, border technology, biometric systems, or public-sector data contracts should note which authorities are formally responsible for Eurodac data handling.
