Legal basis for processing personal data

The legal basis for our processing of personal data follows from:

• The Danish EPA processes your personal data on the basis of the authority tasks resulting from Statutory Order No. 644/2014 on reporting to the nano product register, including in order to fulfil the purpose of the Statutory Order, to ensure a high level of protection for consumers and the environment

• Processing is thus carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1)(e) of the Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), which states that processing is necessary to take account of the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority entrusted to the controller.

We process the following categories of personal data:

The Danish EPA discloses your personal information to the Danish Working Environmental Protection Agency on request.

The Danish EPA also leaves your personal data to data processors, e.g. Statens IT.

The personal data comes from the data that you enter in connection with the reporting of nanoproducts on Virk.dk.

The Environmental Protection Agency will process your data until the data are filed or discarded pursuant to the rules of the Danish Archives Act, see Consolidated Act no. 1201 of 28 September 2016, or in general for as long as they are needed for the purpose for which they were collected. When there is no longer a legal or administrative need, the data will be discarded (erased).
