The Schengen Information System

Everyone has the right to know what data concerning him/herself is stored in the national section of the Schengen Information System, which includes the same data as the Central Schengen Information System maintained by the technical support function.

Everyone has the right to request the Joint Supervisory Body, established for the supervision of the technical support function of the Schengen Information System, to verify that the collection, storage, processing and use of his/her personal data in the Central Schengen Information System is lawful and correct.

A request for information or scrutiny must be presented to the District Police, from where the request must be forwarded without delay to the Data Protection Ombudsman.

The request must be made in person to the District Police, and persons submitting such requests must prove their identity.
