IN WHERE LONG TIME IS MY APPLICATION DATA STORED?

Application data which is filled into the form at esta-cbp-gov.com will be deleted after submission to the official US website.

We refer to the official US privacy and security policy below:

ESTA application data remains active for the period of validity of the approved ESTA, usually two years, or until the traveler’s passport expires, whichever comes first. DHS then stores this information for another year, after which it is filed for twelve years to enable the retrieval of information in connection with law enforcement, national security or investigation. Once the information is archived, the number of officials with access to them will be further restricted. This retention is consistent with CBP’s Border Search Authority and CBP’s Border Security Mission mandated by CBP. Data relating to law enforcement active lookout files match CBP to enforcement activities and / or investigations or cases, including the ESTA application that has been rejected, and remains available as long as the law enforcement activities associated with them , still active.

DHS has passed to a paperless I-94W and therefore the ESTA application data replaces the data collected through the I-94W paper edition. In cases where the ESTA application is used instead of information collected through the I-94W paper edition, the data from the ESTA application is stored in accordance with the I-94W retention plan, which is 75 years old.

SHARE MY INFORMATION WITH ANYONE?

The information collected and stored in ESTA can be used by other DHS departments as needed and in accordance with the department’s mission.

Under the current agreement between DHS and the US Department of State (DOS), information submitted during an ESTA application may be shared with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs consular officials to help them determine whether a visa can be issued to a the applicant for an application for travel authorization has been rejected.

Information may be shared with appropriate federal, state, local, tribal and foreign government agencies or multilateral governmental organizations responsible for the investigation or prosecution of infringement or enforcement or implementation of, statutes, rules, regulations or licenses, or where DHS decides that information will help in the enforcement of civil or criminal law. Further, information can be shared when DHS has reason to believe that such use is to aid in the efforts or intelligence of anti-terrorism related to national or international security or transnational crime. All sharing will be in accordance with the Privacy Act System of Records Notice, which was published in the Federal Register on June 10, 2008 and available on the DHS website.

While airlines and shipping companies will not receive the information from the ESTA application submitted by travelers to DHS, they will receive confirmation of a traveler’s ESTA status via the Advance Passenger Information System (APIS), indicating whether an ESTA is required and for permission is given.
