Sweden · Privacy & Data Protection
The country's own data-protection regime, registration duties, and its official supervisory authority.
AI-drafted, editorially reviewed. Confirm specifics with the official authority.
Data protection follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation, supplemented by Swedish law, and is supervised by IMY, the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection. The obligations are the familiar GDPR ones — a lawful basis for each processing purpose, information to data subjects, records of processing, security measures and breach notification within the regulation's deadline — with Swedish supplementary rules covering areas such as camera surveillance and public-sector processing.
- The GDPR applies directly; Swedish law supplements rather than replaces it.
- IMY is the supervisory authority for complaints, guidance and enforcement.
- Swedish supplementary rules cover areas such as camera surveillance.
