About the website

About this website The FBA website is our main channel for information about our mandate, the work we do, and our role as a Swedish government agency. It is intended for a broad audience, including Swedish citizens, the media, and other organisations in Sweden and abroad. Our goal is to make the website’s content accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of technical equipment or potential disability.

Language

The website is available in both Swedish and English. There are some differences between the two versions, as certain information is intended specifically for a Swedish audience and vice versa.

Processing of personal data

FBA is responsible for the processing of personal data on our website and in the agency’s other activities. The legal basis for our processing of personal data is that we perform tasks carried out in the public interest.

In short, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) means that individuals (data subjects) are entitled to be informed when and how their personal data are processed, and to have control over their own data.

You have the right to:

Obtain confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you are being processed

  • Access information about the categories of personal data being processed

  • Learn about the purpose of the processing

  • Request access to your personal data

  • Know the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the data have been disclosed

  • Where possible, know the period for which the data will be stored

  • Request rectification, erasure, or portability of your personal data

  • Request restriction of processing, or object to processing

Questions about the processing of personal data may be directed to FBA’s Data Protection Officer by email at dataskyddsombud@fba.se, or by post to:

Dataskyddsombud
Folke Bernadotteakademin (FBA)
Box 27068, SE-102 51 Stockholm, Sweden.

FBA is a government agency, and messages sent to us constitute public documents in accordance with Swedish law.

You can read more about the GDPR on the website of the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY), which also handles complaints if your personal data are processed in a way you believe to be unlawful, even after you have raised the issue with us.
