Móttakendur

Móttakendur is Icelandic for recipients or receivers. The term denotes people or organizations that are intended to receive something, such as mail, messages, goods, payments, or information. It is the plural form of mottakandi.

Common contexts include postal and logistics, where the mottakandi is the person named in the delivery address; digital communications, where the mottakandi is the intended recipient of emails, messages, or alerts; and financial transactions, where funds or transfers are directed to a mottakandi.

In data protection and privacy contexts, mottakendur refer to entities that receive personal data from a data controller or from another recipient. The concept is important for understanding data flows, consent, and safeguarding measures. In many jurisdictions, data subjects must be informed about who the mottakendur are and under what conditions data may be disclosed.

In business and service contexts, identifying mottakendur helps determine who should be contacted, billed, or supplied with information. The term is widely used in Icelandic documentation, contracts, and compliance materials.
