ETIAS launch notifications (e-mail)
If you sign up for our ETIAS launch notification, we store the e-mail address you provide, the time of sign-up, your IP address (used only for abuse prevention) and your consent choices. We use this data solely to send you (a) a one-time notification when the European Union announces the official ETIAS start date and, only if you additionally opt in, (b) occasional important ETIAS updates before launch, such as rule changes and key dates. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you may withdraw at any time via the unsubscribe link in any e-mail or by contacting us. Your address is never sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. Once ETIAS has launched and the notification service ends, stored addresses are deleted.
