CHAPTER XVGeneral data processing rules

Article 62Additional data for the purpose of dealing with misused identities

1

Where confusion may arise between the person intended to be the subject of an alert and a person whose identity has been misused, the issuing Member State shall, subject to the explicit consent of the person whose identity has been misused, add data relating to the latter to the alert in order to avoid the negative consequences of misidentification. Any person whose identity has been misused shall have the right to withdraw his or her consent regarding the processing of the added personal data.

2

Data relating to a person whose identity has been misused shall be used only for the following purposes:

a

to allow the competent authority to distinguish the person whose identity has been misused from the person intended to be the subject of the alert; and

b

to allow the person whose identity has been misused to prove his or her identity and to establish that his or her identity has been misused.

3

For the purpose of this Article, and subject to the explicit consent of the person whose identity has been misused for each data category, only the following personal data of the person whose identity has been misused may be entered and further processed in SIS:

The Commission shall adopt implementing acts to lay down and develop technical rules necessary for entering and further processing the data referred to in paragraph 3 of this Article.

5

The data referred to in paragraph 3 shall be deleted at the same time as the corresponding alert or earlier where the person so requests.
