The Immigration Appeals Board processes your personal data for the purpose of making a decision on an appeal that you have lodged with the Board under the Danish Aliens Act (udlændingeloven) or for the purpose of responding to an inquiry that you have made to the Board. 

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data by the Immigration Appeals Board is the Aliens Act, the Data Protection Act and the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation in Article 6 on general personal data and Article 9 on sensitive personal data.

In case of access to public documents or a request for access to personal data, the relevant legal basis is Articles 6, 9 and 10, including in particular Article 6(1)(c) (legal obligation) and Article 9(2)(f) (legal claims), of the General Data Protection Regulation and section 8(2)(iii) of the Data Protection Act (exercise of official authority). 

4. Are you under a statutory obligation to provide your personal data? 

You are obliged to provide such information as is necessary to enable the Immigration Appeals Board to make a decision on your appeal. If you do not provide such information, the consequence may be that your appeal is dismissed. You can read more about your obligations to contribute to bringing out the facts of your case in section 40 of the Aliens Act, an extract of which is reproduced on the last page of this notice.  

If you make a general inquiry or a request for access to documents or for access to personal data to the Immigration Appeals Board, you are not obliged to provide your personal data, but please note that your refusal to provide personal data such as your contact details may affect the possibility of the Immigration Appeals Board to consider and respond to your inquiry or request.

- General personal data such as name, address and personal ID

9. Retention of your personal data

- The likelihood that your case will be reopened
- The likelihood that an appeal or complaint will be lodged with a national court and/or an international body
- The likelihood that a decision will be made granting a request for access to documents 
- Whether the data are to be retained under the rules on national archives

The withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data by the Immigration Appeals Board on the basis of your consent up to the time of withdrawal. If you withdraw your consent, the Immigration Appeals Board may therefore continue to process the personal data received up to the time of withdrawal.
