Our processing of personal data
We process your personal data for different purposes and in different parts of our activities. We may receive your personal data in various ways, for example via e-services, forms, and web forms. We also receive personal data from other public authorities.
For us to process your personal data, we are required to have a so-called lawful basis for our processing. One lawful basis may be that we need to process your data to make decisions or carry out other tasks in the public interest.
You can read more about the meaning of lawful basis for personal data processing on the website of the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY):
Lawful grounds for personal data processing
The Enforcement Authority is the data controller for the personal data processing we do. This means that we are responsible for handling your personal data correctly and in accordance with laws and regulations. The purpose of the rules is to protect your privacy.
Personal data in official documents
Your personal data may be in official documents we have. According to the principle of public access to information, anyone has the right to access official documents, unless prevented by confidentiality. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) does not prevent us from releasing official documents, even if they contain personal data. This means that we may disclose your personal data if someone requests access under the principle of public access to information.
