Videregivere

Videregivere is a term used in Danish and Norwegian to describe a person or organization that forwards something—from one party to another. The word comes from videregive, meaning to pass on or hand over, combined with the agent suffix -er. The term is descriptive rather than a fixed technical label and is applied across several contexts.

In information technology and communications, a videregiver can be an intermediary that relays data, messages, or documents within networks or workflows. Examples include email forwards, message brokers, API gateways, or proxy services that relay information to downstream systems or users. The role focuses on the transmission of content rather than its creation.

In logistics and commerce, a videregiver may refer to a distributor, wholesaler, or broker that passes products from producers to retailers or customers. Such intermediaries can add value through routing, verification, inventory management, or regulatory compliance, acting as a link within a supply chain.

In data protection and privacy contexts, videregivere can denote a data recipient or processor that receives personal data from a sender for processing or redistribution under a data-sharing agreement. The exact responsibilities depend on jurisdiction and the terms of the contract or policy, but obligations regarding data security, minimization, and purpose limitation typically apply on both sides of the transfer.

Overall, videregivere is a versatile term used to describe forwarding roles within information flows, supply chains, and data exchanges in Nordic languages.
