Registration of one-man businesses
When an EU-citizen applies for an EU-residence document as a worker, and when the applicant is employed at a one-man business, SIRI will registrate information about the employer of the one-man business.
When SIRI receives an application for an EU-residence document as a worker, and when the applicant is an employee at a one-man business, we will process information about the employer. When SIRI receives an employement contract or a Declaration by the employer, we use this information about the one-man business as documentation for the worker’s employment.
We will make a registration of this information in our system, where we process our cases. This particular information is registrated in order to see how many employees work at the one-man business.

At this point, we cannot say how long we are going to store your personal information. However, we can inform you that SIRI is subject to the Archives Act and has an obligation to file and store data. All of the information will be stored at SIRI until it is delivered to the National Archives. Here, it will continue to be stored for an extended period of time.

We refer to Chapter 7, § 31, paragraph 2 of the EU Residence Order, concerning termination of right to residence, as well as Article 6, paragraph 1, point (e) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, concerning exercise of official public authority. For the purpose of control and inspection, SIRI uses information regarding employment.
