Responsibility

Norðdahl, Narfi & Silva ehf., kt. 671021-0450 is the responsible party when Slysaréttur decides how to work with certain personal information that has been provided during the operation of a case.

 

Processing of personal data

The staff of Slysaréttur shall not work with personal data unless there is sufficient authorization for the processing in the Personal Protection Act. At the beginning of the case, the client authorizes Slysaréttur to protect his interests. The mandate authorizes the acquisition of the data deemed necessary to carry out lobbying, but the data in question may include personal information. Slysaréttur strives not to collect any further personal information than is necessary in each case in order to achieve the purpose of its processing. The processing of personal information by Slysaréttur is primarily carried out in order to be able to satisfactorily fulfill service contracts with the clients of Slysaréttur.

Security, reliability and limitation of processing

Slysaréttur must safeguard and ensure the security of the personal information that is processed. Slysaréttur guarantees that appropriate protective measures are in place to prevent unauthorized or illegal processing. Slysaréttur also guarantees that personal information is reliable and updated as necessary. If personal information turns out to be incorrect, it must be deleted or corrected without delay. Slysaréttur must also take care when processing personal information that it is limited to what is considered necessary. Personal data must also be preserved in such a way that it is not possible to identify registered persons for longer than is necessary based on the purpose of the processing.

 

Transfer of personal information to third parties

Slysaréttur does not pass on personal information to third parties except with unequivocal consent or in order to fulfill obligations according to a contract or the law. When necessary, Slysaréttur shall ensure that appropriate protective measures are in place.

 

Rights of data subjects

If the processing of personal data is based on the data subject’s consent, he can withdraw his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. Registered parties can also, under certain circumstances, request that their personal data be corrected or deleted or that the processing be limited. Furthermore, registered parties can object to the processing of personal information about them. An individual can request a copy of their personal information from Slysaréttur. Requests for copies of personal information can be sent to the e-mail address [email protected]. If personal information is requested on behalf of another person, a signed power of attorney must be attached to the request.
