Laws that govern the website

Reviewed:

Here you will find information about copyright and other laws that govern the business operations and how we process personal data on the website.

Copyright

All copyrighted material on the website, such as images, maps, and other illustrations, may be used with the permission of the copyright holder. The copyright holder is the person who has created the material or who owns the material. Information about who created the material can be found in the caption. Copyright is regulated in the Act on Copyright in Literary and Artistic Works (SFS 1960:729).

The Act on the Accessibility of Digital Public Services

The Act contains provisions which mean that services and information provided by a public actor via a website or mobile application must be accessible. Such digital service must meet the requirements of being

  • perceivable
  • manageable
  • intelligible
  • robust.

By following a specific European standard (EN 301 549 V3.2.1), which in turn is based on WCAG 2.1, websites and mobile applications can meet these requirements.

The Act also contains provisions requiring public actors to provide a so-called accessibility report, which must describe, among other things, how the website or application in question meets the requirements.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is intended to strengthen the protection of individuals when personal data is processed. All processing of personal data must comply with the basic requirements set out in GDPR. The requirements mean, among other things, that personal data may only be collected for legitimate purposes that are not too general and that the amount of data must be limited to what is necessary for the purposes. The data may not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with these purposes or saved longer than necessary. Anyone who processes personal data must be able to demonstrate compliance with the requirements.

The National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket) respects and protects everyone’s personal data and personal integrity in accordance with applicable legislation. This means, among other things, that we do not collect more personal data than is needed and that the data is not stored longer than it is needed or because other legislation requires it.

The Electronic Communications Act

The purpose of the Electronic Communications Act (SFS 2003:389) is to ensure that individuals and public authorities have access to secure and efficient electronic communications and the greatest possible benefit in terms of the choice of electronic communications services as well as their price and quality.

Electronic bulletin boards

The Act (1998:112) on Responsibility for Electronic Bulletin Boards applies, for example, to discussion forums and comments published by our users. The law applies to websites that do not have a responsible publisher in the legal sense.

The Discrimination Act

The purpose of the Discrimination Act (2008:567) is to counteract discrimination and in other ways promote equal rights and opportunities regardless of sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation, or age.
