What data do we collect?

Personal data means any data that can be linked to you as an individual. It may be your name, personal identity number, address, e-mail address, telephone number etc. Or it may be information about your personal circumstances, such as medical information, which forms the basis of the examination of some of our cases- It may also be information about what permits or permissions you have or which vehicles you own.

How do we collect your personal data?

The Swedish Transport Agency collects personal data from you when you submit an application or contact us for any other reason. We also collect personal data about you from other authorities, for example from the Swedish Tax Agency. We may also receive information from companies or doctors that report data to us because they are required to do so by rules and regulations.

Why do we collect and process your personal data?

The Swedish Transport Agency processes your personal data in order to

• handle and administer matters in our licensing and supervision activities
• fulfil our obligation to keep various registers
• be able to receive and answer questions that reach us via various communication channels, for example e-mail
• produce statistics on, monitor and evaluate traffic safety work
• administer charges and invoices on account of our licensing, supervision and register activities
• plan and carry out monitoring and reporting of results, as well as evaluation and supervision of our activities
• produce statistics for the handling of matters and for the planning, monitoring, reporting, evaluation and supervision of our activities
• fulfil the disclosure of information requirements that follow from rules and regulations
• test and further develop the IT systems used in our handling of matters and register activities.

We have support for our processing of personal data because it is necessary when we perform tasks in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority (for example when we process personal data as part of our handling of matters). We also have a responsibility for keeping various registers; processing is then necessary on account of a legal obligation. In some cases we process your personal data because we have your consent to do so or because we have entered into an agreement with you.
