Innskráningar

Innskráningar is Icelandic for registrations or sign-ins. The word can denote the act of registering information with a system or the individual records themselves within a registry. The plural innskráningar is used for multiple registrations or entries.

In digital contexts, innskráning commonly refers to signing in to an online service or to creating an account. In this use, a person provides credentials such as a username and password, and may complete a second authentication step. The term can also describe the process of adding a new user to a system or the act of logging into a service.

Beyond technology, innskráningar appear in official registries and organizational records. Examples include registrations in civil registries, patient lists, schools, employers, or vehicle registrations. Each innskráning corresponds to a data record that may include names, dates, identifiers, and status information.

Handling of innskráningar is governed by data protection and privacy rules. In Iceland, this includes adherence to GDPR as applied by Persónuvernd, the Icelandic Data Protection Authority. Data collected during registration must be lawful, necessary for the stated purpose, and retained only as long as needed. Individuals typically have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of their innskráningar.
