If you carry out video-surveillance you need to provide information regarding the surveillance in an intelligible and easily accessible way. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) lists a number of requirements of what this information needs to contain.

The following is a brief description of what anyone interested in the use of video-surveillance must consider.

Personal data within law enforcement is governed by special laws.

If you think that someone is processing your personal data incorrectly you can file a complaint to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) using our e-service.

A licence from the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection is normally required to operate credit reference activities. We decide on licences to operate credit reference activities only if the activities can be assumed to be carried on in a knowledgeable and judicious manner. Our evaluation is based on the type and scope of the planned activities.

If you think that someone is using camera surveillance unlawfully you can file a complaint to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) using our e-service.

Our vision is a society where personal privacy is valued and respected.

All processing of personal data must have lawful grounds under the regulation.

You can call IMY for guidance on general questions within the scope of our assignment. We cannot give you binding information or answers to questions in individual cases. Neither can we answer whether, for example, a particular personal data processing is lawful or whether a camera surveillance is carried out correctly.
