What is personal data?
Personal data is any kind of information that can be attributed to a physical person who is alive. For example, it can be your name, address, social security number or pictures that show who you are. The processing of personal data means everything that we do when we handle information about you digitally. For example, when we write investigations, handle matters concerning individuals, in e-mail, when we create and store documents with personal data.
