If we process a large amount of personal data about you, you will be asked to specify the information or processing activities that your request concerns before giving the information.

Please be aware that your right of access is in some cases limited. This is among other things if your right to access should be put aside for decisive considerations for private or public interests. See Article 23 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

II. Your right to rectification

We must correct your personal data, which appears incorrect or misleading, etc., if you make a request. Your right to rectification follows from Article 16 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

You can only request that your personal data is rectified to what is correct. The information that you may be entitled to get rectified is both objective and subjective incorrect data, such as:

  • Objective incorrect personal data: Name, Address, Phone Number, etc.
  • Subjective wrong personal data: Your attitude to, among other things, a matter or question.

If we correct your personal data, we shall also contact all recipients who have received the information so that they also make a correction, unless this proves impossible or disproportionate.

You can request us to delete your stored personal data. You can only request that your own personal data are to be deleted. Your right to erasure is governed by Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

If we respond to a request for erasure of your personal data in whole or in part, we shall also contact all recipients who have received the information so that they also make a correction, unless this proves impossible or disproportionate.

You can request to be informed about which recipients, we are contacting. This follows from Article 19 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

If we have disclosed your personal data and are required to delete your personal data, we will take reasonable technical measures to notify other Data Managers of your request to delete all links to, or copies or representations of your personal data. This may be limited by, inter alia, the right to freedom of expression and information.

IV. Your right to restriction of processing

You are entitled to restriction of processing of your personal data if any of the following conditions apply:

  • You dispute the accuracy of your personal data, and you are entitled to a limitation of processing until we have had the opportunity to determine if personal data is correct.
  • The processing of your personal data is illegal and you oppose to the deletion of your personal data and instead request that the use of the personal data be restricted.
  • If we no longer need your personal data for processing, but they are necessary for a legal claim to be established, enforced or defended.
  • If you have objected to the processing, you are entitled to restriction of processing until we have had the opportunity to check whether our legitimate interests weigh heavier than your legitimate interests.

Your right to limited processing is governed by Article 18 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Your request for limitation of processing should concern your own personal data, as we are not required to restrict the processing of other persons personal data unless you have a power of attorney to request a restriction of processing on their behalf.

Restricting the processing of your personal data means that we may retain collected personal data, whereas it is not permitted to process and use your personal data, including in particular to pass it on to third parties. This can, for example, be ensured by the transfer of your personal data to another processing system and thereby making your personal data inaccessible to our employees and any other users or that your published personal data is temporarily removed from a website.

We may only store your personal data after your request limitation of processing unless you consent to further processing or for the purpose of establishing, enforcing, defending, or protecting another legal or legal person or for the sake of important EU or national social interests.

The limitation of processing of your personal data is maintained until you receive notification from us that the restriction is terminated.

After we have received your request for restriction of processing your personal data, we should also contact all recipients who have received your personal data in order for them to also restrict processing unless this proves impossible or disproportionately difficult.

You can request to be informed which recipients, we are contacting. This follows from Article 19 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

You must be particularly aware that your right to restriction is in some cases limited. See Article 23 of the General Data Protection Regulation. This would be the case if you give your consent or if processing is needed for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

V. Your right to object to the processing

You can object at any time to our processing your personal data if the processing is made:

  • For the purpose of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority which we has been required.
  • In order for us or a third party to pursue a legitimate interest, unless your interests, fundamental rights and liberties, which require special protection of your personal data, are preceded by our interest in pursuing legitimate interest.

Your right of objection follows from Article 21 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

We will weigh the above considerations and decide whether your objection is to be met.

If your objection is met and is therefore justified, the processing must no longer include your personal data. This could be if the processing is not legal, i.e. takes place in violation of the General Data Protection Regulation.

If we decide not to respond to your objection, processing may be continued until the date on which the Data Inspectorate may decide that the opposition was warranted. This could be if the processing is for statistical or scientific purposes.

You may refer our decision to the National supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 of the General Data Protection Regulation, whereby the Authority will decide whether the objection to the processing is justified.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing, you may at any time object to the processing of your personal data for this purpose. This free of charge. After you have objected to the processing of your personal data, it may no longer be used for this purpose.

If your personal data is processed for scientific or historical research purposes or for statutory purposes, you may, for reasons relating to your particular situation, object to the processing of your personal data unless the processing is necessary to perform a task in the public interest.

VI. Your right to data portability

If an electronic processing of your personal data is made, which is also based on your consent or as a result of the performance of a contract, you may be entitled to data portability. Your data portability right is governed by Article 20 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Only the personal data you have provided to us are covered by the right to data portability. That means that our processing, e.g. the creation of an analyses based on your personal data, will not be included.

If you are entitled to data portability, it means that you are entitled in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, to receive your personal data and have the right to have these transmitted to another data controller without hindrance by us.

The right to data portability may in some cases be restricted by other people’s rights and freedoms, as your right to data portability may violate the aforementioned rights.

VII. Submit a complaint to the supervisory authority

You, or your representative, may file a complaint with the Data Inspectorate if you find that processing of your personal data is an infringement of the General Data Protection Act. This follows from Article 77 of the Data General Protection Regulation.

For example, you can Complain if you believe that:

  • you will not receive the information that you are entitled to under the rules of insight;
  • there is improperly posted information about you on the internet;
  • there has been improperly disclosed information about you to a third party, or
  • you have been wrongly registered as a bad payer, and the credit bureau refuses to delete you.

You can file a complaint electronically to the national supervisory authority:
EU member states: edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members
Norway: www.datatilsynet.no/

The national supervisory authority will then keep you informed of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of using remedies under Article 78 of the General Data Protection Regulation.
