Personal data is confidential

Income and other payments recorded in the Incomes Register, and data on the income recipient and payer, are confidential. Data may only be disclosed for the purposes laid down in the Income Information System Act and the purposes laid down in sections 11 and 12, section 26, subsection 3, and section 29, subsection 1, point 3 of the Act on the Openness of Government Activities.

As a data subject, you always have the right to be informed of documents concerning you.

Right to be informed of the processing of your personal data

You have the right to know the purposes for which we process your personal data and our grounds for processing it. On this website, we aim to give you a comprehensive picture of the processing of personal data in the Incomes Register’s activity. If you need more information, you can contact our customer service.

Right to access personal data 

You have the right to know whether we process your personal data. You also have the right to receive a copy of your personal data that we process. 

You can send us a request to access your information. For more information on how to send a request, see Request for inspection of personal information.

You can also use the e-service to access the Incomes Register’s data reported by your employer and other parties who have made payments to you. The e-service also allows you to request an Incomes Register extract, which includes information on payments made to you and reported to the Incomes Register. To use the service, you need online banking codes, a mobile certificate or a certificate card.

Right to object to data processing

We have a statutory obligation to process the Incomes Register data. Consequently, you do not usually have the right to object to the processing of your data – to ask us not to process it.

When the processing of your personal data is not based on our statutory obligation, you have the right to object. You can make a request at any time based on your specific situation. In such a case, we must stop processing your personal data unless there is a manifestly important and justified reason for processing it that supersedes your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.

Right to the erasure of data

We are obligated to store the information laid down in the law in the Incomes Register and retain it for the period stated in the law. Therefore, your data cannot be erased from the register, even if you demand erasure.

If the processing is based on your consent, you have the right to ask us to erase your data at any time.

The processing of the personal data of subscribers to the newsletter and production bulletin, as well as individuals participating in training and surveys, is based on the data subject's consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time in free form, after which the data will be erased immediately.

Right to rectification 

According to the Incomes Information System Act, the payers are responsible for the accuracy of the data they submit to the Incomes Register and for rectifying data without undue delay. If you notice an error or mistake in the data reported to the register, please contact the payer to rectify the data.

If technical errors are detected in the data, we may ask the payer to verify the accuracy of the data they have submitted to the Incomes Register.

Right to restrict processing

Under the Incomes Information System Act, the data subject’s right to restrict processing does not apply to the processing of personal data in the Incomes Information System.

Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not carry out automated decision-making or profiling based on the personal data we process.

Right to submit a notification to the supervisory authority

You have the right to submit a notification to the Data Protection Ombudsman about the processing of your personal data. For more information and instructions on how to submit a notification, see the website of the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman
