Poland's participation in Eurodac: biometric identification of foreigners
The act regulates Poland's participation in the EU's Eurodac system, which stores fingerprints and facial images of foreigners. The system helps identify asylum seekers, deported persons, and those illegally staying in the EU. Police, Border Guard, and other services will be able to compare biometric data for criminal investigations and public security purposes.
Key points
Mandatory collection of fingerprints and facial images from foreigners at border crossings or when applying for asylum.
Possibility of using direct coercive measures against persons refusing to provide biometric data.
Expanded powers for services: Police, Border Guard, Internal Security Agency, Anti-Corruption Bureau, and others will be able to search the Eurodac database for criminal and terrorist cases.
Right to access and correction: foreigners can request access to their data or its deletion.
Automatic data deletion upon obtaining Polish or other EU citizenship.
Terminology change: 'dactyloscopic' records become 'biometric' records, also including facial recognition.
