The immigration administration relies on applicants and others providing information of a sensitive nature in order for the administration to be able to carry out their designated duties in a satisfactory manner. The private party must be able to trust that the information he or she provides the administration with is not disclosed to unauthorised parties or used for other purposes than they were obtained for, or to a greater extent than is provided for by law. FV-01 describes in more detail the Public Administration Act’s provisions concerning the duty of confidentiality in order to ensure that all UNE staff are familiar with and comply with this duty. The guide also provides an overview of the legal basis on which the provisions are interpreted, which considerations are relevant in exercising discretionary judgement, and how these considerations have been used in UNE’s practice.
