Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten

Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY) is Sweden’s data-protection authority. It provides GDPR guidance, receives complaints about personal-data processing, and can supervise controllers.

For individual data-removal cases, the person should first make a request to the controller. IMY is an escalation route for an unanswered or non-compliant request, not a service that directly deletes the person’s data.

IMY’s work on people-search services with an utgivningsbevis is material to EU and Swedish data removal rights. It is conducting collective investigations into Lexbase and krimfup for criminal-offence data, and Upplysning.se and Mrkoll for responses to erasure requests.

After the 9 July 2026 CJEU judgment Legal Newsdesk Sweden C-199 24, IMY said it was analyzing the implications for those investigations. The pending decisions create a material current gap, so this entity note is working until the regulator’s applied position is known.
