I refer to one paragraph a little bit down. The DPIA in question noted in a preamble to the section on information transparency that an information leaflet provided to people at their PSC registration appointment does not set out the legal basis for biometric processing. The observation that an information leaflet does not reference the legal basis is not at all equivalent to finding no legal basis for such processing or finding that there is no legal basis. I wish to know what the rationale for leaving it out was. It is prudent to have the legal basis. Perhaps we could write back and ask for that.
