2/ We requested a wide range of information to establish what data is transfered, to who, where it is processed & stored and under which jurisdiction.

3/ Though the Home Office is holding that information it is refusing to provide it. "[...] the disclosure [...] will make the application system vulnerable to malicious attacks and hamper our ability to effectively operate immigration control."

4/ Apparently, the disclosure of how data is shared & processed will make "it possible to circumvent immigration control".

5/ We thought that the Settled Status system does nothing else but checking HMRC & DWP records and does a criminality check against national & International crime databases. How knowing where & by whom data is processed allows to circumvent this is beyond us.

6/ In summary, the UK Govt is creating a central register just for one minority in the UK, EU citizens, holding data it can share freely & in secret with undisclosed private & public organisation in the UK & across the world. This is truly shocking. /end
