Decision of the Swedish Authority for Privacy
Protection
IMY adopts the Norwegian Data Protection Authority´s decision in Appendix 1
pursuant to Article 60(8) of the General Data Protection Regulation 1 (GDPR) and
closes the case.
Presentation of the supervisory case
On the 16th of November 2021 the complainant filed his complaint with the Swedish
Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY). As the case concerns cross-border processing
and Advokatguiden AS has its main establishment in Norway, IMY handed over the
complaint to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority. The Norwegian Data Protection
Authority has investigated the matter and issued a draft decision pursuant to Article
60(3) GDPR. None of the supervisory authorities concerned has expressed an
objection to the draft decision pursuant to Article 60(4) GDPR.
Motivation for the decision
The Norwegian Data Protection Authority concluded that the agreement with the
Swedish Bar Association essentially made the complaints obsolete. The complainant
has been given the opportunity to comment but has not responded. The case has
therefore been investigated to the extent appropriate according to Article 57(1)(f) of the
GDPR and may be deemed resolved.
IMY and the other supervisory authorities concerned had no objections to the decision.
Postal address: Against this background, IMY shall adopt the decision pursuant to Article 60(8) of the
Box 8114 Data Protection Regulation.
104 20 Stockholm
