I am aware of and consent to the following: the collection of the data required by this application form and the taking of my photograph and, if applicable, the taking of fingerprints, are mandatory for the examination of the visa application; and any personal data concerning me which appear on the visa application form, as well as my fingerprints and my photograph will be supplied to the relevant French authorities and processed by those authorities, for the purposes of a decision on my visa application.

Such data as well as data concerning the decision taken on my application or a decision whether to annul or revoke a visa issued will be entered into, and stored in the French VISABIO biometric database for a maximum period of five years, during which it will be accessible to the visa authorities and the authorities competent for carrying out checks on visas at borders, national immigration and asylum authorities for the purposes of verifying whether the conditions for the legal entry into, stay and residence on the territory of France are fulfilled, and of identifying persons who do not or who no longer fulfil these conditions. Under certain conditions the data will also be available to designated French authorities and to Europol for the purpose of the prevention, detection and investigation of terrorist offences and of other serious criminal offences. The French authority responsible for processing the data is: [...].

Pursuant to Act No 78-17 of 6 January 1978 on Data Processing, Files and Individual Liberties, I am aware that I have the right to obtain from the French government the communication of the data relating to me recorded in the VISABIO database and the right to request that such data which are inaccurate be corrected or possibly deleted only if processed unlawfully. This right of access to and possible correction of such data shall be exercised by applying to the head of mission or consular post. It may be possible to refer to the National Commission on Data Processing and Liberties (CNIL) if I choose to question the conditions under which the personal data relating to me are protected.

I declare that to the best of my knowledge all particulars supplied by me are correct and complete. I am aware that any false statements will lead to my application being rejected or to the annulment of a visa already granted and may also render me liable to prosecution under French law.

I undertake to leave the French territory before the expiry of the visa, if granted, and if I have been refused the right to stay in France after the expiry of the visa.
