This information is provided to meet the information requirements pursuant to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679), hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR”.
Processing of personal data
The Swedish Migration Agency processes personal data that you provide in the application and during the Swedish Migration Agency’s handling of the application. The Swedish Migration Agency processes personal data pursuant to the GDPR and the Swedish Migration Agency’s register statute, i.e., the Act on the Personal Data of Aliens (2016:27). The Act on the Personal Data of Aliens includes regulations that mean that personal data may be processed without you having to provide your consent.
Swedish Migration Agency’s responsibility
Personal data is collected by the Swedish Migration Agency, which is the personal data controller and is responsible for the processing of personal data in the application and in the handling. There may be exceptions in case it is another authority or organisation that processes the personal data that you submitted to the Swedish Migration Agency.
Processing of personal data at another authority or organisation The personal data you submitted to the Swedish Migration Agency may also be processed at another authority (e.g., the Swedish Tax Agency or a municipality) or organisation, provided that they have the right to process the personal data. That authority or organisation may in these cases be responsible for the processing of personal data.
Purpose of personal data processing
The Swedish Migration Agency processes your personal data for multiple purposes. The Swedish Migration Agency saves personal data in order for the application process to be carried out, i.e., processing a case concerning, e.g., a residence or work permit. This may also refer to automatic processing, including automatic decisions. The Swedish Migration Agency also processes your personal data to identify you, produce statistics, conduct registration, follow-up, plan, retrace decisions and release information to other authorities. Your personal data is also used in registers of applicants and in archiving at the Swedish Migration Agency.
Checks
The Swedish Migration Agency will use the personal data for checks in registers, which are necessary to make a decision in the matter. This may involve, for example, checking if you are registered in the Schengen Information System (SIS) and if you appear in the Swedish register of suspects and criminal records (MR/BR).
What data
The data the Swedish Migration Agency intends to collect and process include name, personal identity number, address, contact information and other information that is needed to process a case, for example. Depending on what the application concerns, photographs and fingerprints may also be processed. Transfer of personal data
After a review, your personal data may be released to those who need access to the information as a result of a legal obligation, a task of public interest, such as statistical information, or a task in connection with the exercise of public authority, where a processing of the information is necessary. The Swedish Migration Agency may forward personal information submitted if the Swedish Migration Agency is the wrong body for the information and it should be forwarded to the correct recipient.
