Privacy

In order to be able to produce the highest quality statistics, Statistics Norway has access to data in public administration registers, in addition to data we retrieve directly from businesses and private individuals. Privacy protection and information security are therefore a key focus in Statistics Norway, ensuring that personal data is treated confidentially and only used for statistical purposes. Statistics Norway processes personal data in accordance with the provisions of, for example, the Statistics Act, the Personal Data Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

It is not possible to opt-out of receiving requests to participate in Statistics Norway’s statistical surveys. The right to opt-out only applies to direct advertising.
