Published report on the status of privacy in Norway

On 26 September 2022, the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet) published a report on the status of privacy in Norway, which was subsequently submitted to the Government. Investigating the state of privacy protection in the country, the report highlights the general tendency for digitalisation to come at the expense of privacy and the need for a holistic approach to data protection. Datatilsynet made a number of recommendations to this effect, including the establishment of a national competence and testing environment to support local authorities in protecting citizens' privacy. Further, Datatilsynet suggests that the use of behaviour-based marketing and sensitive personal data for marketing purposes should possibly be banned, especially when minors are involved.
