Linking policy

The Riksdag is keen to monitor which websites link to the Riksdag websites. If you link to any of the Riksdag websites, please respect the following:

  • Through linking, the Riksdag can be associated with the contents on the website that it is linked to.
  • Present your link to the Riksdag websites as neutrally as possible.
  • Do not use the Riksdag logotype to link to the Riksdag websites. This is to avoid any doubt about who could be responsible for the information on the website where the link is placed.
  • Use only hypertext links, that is, when the user clicks the link, he or she will be taken to the Riksdag server.
  • Do not use frame linking, that is, do not link in such a way that the Riksdag website appears as a frame within another site (frameset).

Please contact the Riksdag Information Service if you have any questions:

  • Email: riksdagsinformation@riksdagen.se
  • Telephone: 020-349 000 (national calls only)

Processing of personal data

The Riksdag Administration processes personal data on this website. Such processing is legal as it is linked to the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (Article 6.1e of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)).

The principle of public access to official documents

The Riksdag Administration is a public authority and this means that messages that are sent to the Riksdag Administration become official documents. Everyone is entitled to access official documents.

Official documents on the Riksdag website

Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act

The EU's General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, regulates how personal data may be processed in the EU. When the GDPR came into force, an act of law was also introduced to supplement the GDPR. In the Data Protection Act, the circumstances in which certain personal data may be used are clarified.

The Data Protection Act and the GDPR may not be applied if they do not comply with the provisions of the Freedom of the Press Act or the Fundamental Law on Freedom of Expression.

Responsibility for personal data

The Riksdag Administration is the controller of the processing of personal data on this website.

Collection of personal data on this website

The Riksdag Administration collects personal data on this website. Personal data is collected for the purpose of handling applications for media accreditation. The Riksdag Administration saves an application for media accreditation for three years. After this, it will be deleted.

Logging of IP address

In order to get a picture of how visitors use the website, the Riksdag Administration logs the IP address together with the resource visitors use when they visit our website. The logs are saved on our own servers.

Your rights

Information about your personal data

You are entitled to information about the personal data that the Riksdag Administration processes about you.

Corrections

At your request or on its own initiative, the Riksdag Administration will correct or supplement personal data about you that is incorrect or incomplete.

Deletion

You can request that the Riksdag Administration delete your personal data. You can also ask the Riksdag Administration to stop processing your personal data.

A request for deletion will not always lead to the Riksdag Administration deleting your personal data. The Riksdag Administration may reject a request for deletion on the grounds that the personal data is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Another restriction of your right to deletion is the requirement that official documents are kept. In order to remove personal data in an official document, a withdrawal decision that allows the document to be removed is required.

Request for information, correction or deletion

Please contact the Senior Registry Clerk at the Riksdag Administration if you would like information about the personal data that the Riksdag Administration processes about you. You can also contact the Senior Registry Clerk if you would like your personal data to be corrected or deleted, or if you would like the processing of your personal data to stop.
