Appendix – Information on the processing of personal data
Note that this appendix shall not be sent in to the Swedish Migration Agency.
General information
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. Transfer of personal data takes place in
accordance with personal data or secrecy legislation.

You have the right to obtain information from the Swedish Migration Agency
on what data there is on you and you can request correction, transfer, deletion
