Europol Data Protection Lawyers
Independent EU lawyers for your rights over data held by Europol — access, rectification, erasure, EDPS complaints and CJEU litigation. Confidential, 24/7.
Data you cannot see can still follow you
Europol processes information supplied by national authorities and partners and can share it onward. An entry you never knew about can affect border crossings, banking and background checks long before any court is involved.
Cross-border intelligence files
Your data may sit in analysis files built from information provided by several member states at once.
Onward & third-country sharing
Data can be transferred to other authorities — and, under conditions, to countries outside the EU.
Real-world consequences
Inaccurate or unlawful data can surface in watchlists, risk databases, travel and financial checks.
Full-spectrum Europol data-protection service
One specialist team covering every step — from finding out what Europol holds to litigating before the CJEU.
Preventive data check
Check proactively whether Europol holds data on you — before you travel or transact.
World-Check removal
Correct or remove entries in World-Check and similar risk-intelligence databases.
Europol litigation (CJEU)
Actions before the Court of Justice of the EU when administrative remedies fail.
Your rights over Europol's data
Europol's processing of personal data is governed by Regulation (EU) 2016/794 (the Europol Regulation). As a data subject you have the right to obtain access to data held about you, and to seek its rectification or erasure where it is inaccurate or unlawfully processed.
Europol is supervised by the independent European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), to whom you can complain. Where a decision affecting you is unlawful, you may pursue a remedy before the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Because requests are met with limits and exemptions, how a request is framed and pursued from the outset often decides the result.
What you can ask for
- Access — confirmation and a copy of data held about you.
- Rectification — correction of inaccurate data.
- Erasure — deletion of unlawfully processed data.
- Restriction — limiting processing while a dispute is resolved.
- Complaint to the EDPS — independent supervisory review.
- Judicial remedy — action before the CJEU.
A clear path from first question to remedy
Assess
A confidential review of your situation and the most effective channel to use first.
Request
We file a structured access request to establish what Europol holds and its legal basis.
Challenge
We pursue rectification or erasure and, where needed, complain to the EDPS.
Litigate
If administrative remedies fail, we take the matter to the CJEU.
Is Europol processing your data lawfully?
You do not have to accept a refusal or a restriction at face value. An access request establishes the facts; a complaint to the EDPS brings independent scrutiny; and, if necessary, the CJEU can review the lawfulness of how your data is handled. Early, precise action protects your position.
Where to begin
① Confidential assessment of your situation
