Forhåndsinnhentet

Forhåndsinnhentet is a Norwegian term that translates to "previously obtained" or "pre-acquired" in English. It refers to information, data, or consent that has been gathered or secured before a specific event or action takes place. This concept is relevant in various contexts, including legal, administrative, and data privacy regulations.

In a legal or administrative setting, forhåndsinnhentet consent or authorization means that permission has been granted in advance, often in writing, by the relevant party. This is common in situations where an individual's data will be used for a particular purpose, or when a specific action requires prior approval. For example, when signing up for a service, a user might give forhåndsinnhentet consent for their data to be used for marketing purposes, as outlined in the terms and conditions.

In data privacy, forhåndsinnhentet personal data implies that the data was collected lawfully and with proper consent before its current use. This aligns with principles of data protection, ensuring that individuals are aware of and agree to how their information is handled. The GDPR, for instance, emphasizes the importance of explicit and informed consent, which can be considered a form of forhåndsinnhentet agreement. The principle ensures transparency and control for individuals regarding their personal information.
