All use of personal data is considered as processing of personal information, such as collection, registration, compiling, storage and disclosure or a combination of these.

We ensure that we have entered into data processing agreements that regulate how the data processor can process data on our behalf, e.g. that they can only process personal information for clearly defined purposes and that they must ensure that the handling complies with certain data security requirements.
