4. Recipients of your personal data
If you have complained about the processing of your personal data, your complaint will be sent to the data controller when we request a statement.
If the data controller has not taken a decision on your complaint, we may choose - instead of requesting a statement - to send your complaint to the data controller, so that the data controller has a possibility of taking a decision in relation to your request before you assess if we should be involved in the matter again.
The Danish Data Protection Agency publishes on an ongoing basis selected statements and decisions on our website which may be in a pseudonymised form. It means that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a certain natural person without the use of supplementary information with which only the Danish Data Protection Agency is aware of.
Publication on the Danish Data Protection Agency’s website will therefore mean that your personal data may be disclosed to our external suppliers of the website solution. Before the publication of a statement or a decision on our website, the Danish Data Protection Agency will inform you and the other parties to the case.
5. Storage of your personal data
The information in our electronic case and document handling system will be deleted no later than 10 years after expiry of the filing period in which the case was finished.
