English Summary

Facts

The Swedish DPA conducted an inspection of how the Swedish Migration Agency processed personal information in the Swedish part of the EU database The Visa Information System (VIS). No violation was found, however, the DPA issued warnings concerning the status of the IT-documentation and the lack of routines for deleting user logs.

Holding

The DPA issued two warnings in accordance with Article 58(2)(a) GDPR. The first warning regards how the Swedish Migration Agency is at risk of not being able to fulfill its obligations pertaining to article 32 of the GDPR because it is not clear if the IT-documentation of The Visa Information System (VIS) is adopted by the agency or not. The second warning regards how the agency is at risk of not being able to fulfill its obligations pertaining to articel 5.1 e of the GDPR because they do not have clear routines for deleting user logs in VIS.

Comment

The Visa Information System (VIS) is an EU database containing information, including biometrics, on visa applications by Third Country Nationals requiring a visa to enter the Schengen area. The purpose and usage of the system is regulated in the VIS-regulation. The Swedish Migration Agency is the Swedish competent authority for VIS which means that they are able to enter, amend, delete or consult data in the VIS. This also means that the Swedish Migration Agency is the controller of personal information in the "Swedish part" of the database.
