All use of personal data is considered processing of personal data, such as collection, registration, compilation, storage and disclosure or a combination of these. The processing of personal data is regulated by the Personal Data Act.
Magma Geopark is the data controller for personal data processed in connection with the use of our services and products, and personal data we collect and process for the purposes set out below. The fact that Magma Geopark is the data controller primarily means that it is Magma Geopark that has responsibilities and obligations under the Personal Data Act.
If Magma Geopark chooses another company to be responsible for processing personal data, i.e. data about you, we call it a data processor. In cases where we use data processors, we must ensure that we have entered into data processing agreements that regulate how the data processor can process data that is made available. The standard for this is that the agreement with the data processor may only process personal data on Magma Geopark's behalf and for clearly defined purposes, as required by the regulations on the processing of personal data.
