Every year, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) makes 21 million decisions that affect people's lives and society as a whole. We disburse approximately 260 billion kronor each year. This is all public tax money that we are responsible for. It is a significant responsibility. Therefore, we carefully examine every case, adhere to laws and regulations, inform and guide, show care, and demonstrate concern. This is a job for those who want to take responsibility. Welcome to Försäkringskassan.
The function of the Data Protection Officer (Dataskyddsombud) is organized under the Management Staff of the Legal Department. This function is being expanded from one to two Data Protection Officers. The Data Protection Officers report their observations, assessments, and recommendations to the Board of Försäkringskassan and the Director General. The administrative responsibility for the Data Protection Officer function lies with the head of the Management Staff.

The Data Protection Officer is also to provide advice on impact assessments and serve as the contact person for the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection and for the registered individuals.
