integritetsskyddat

Integritetsskyddat is a Swedish term used to describe information, records, or datasets that are protected by privacy protections. The word combines integritet (privacy, personal integrity) with skyddat (protected). In Swedish public administration and archives, material labeled integritetsskyddat contains personal data or other sensitive information and access is restricted to safeguard individuals’ privacy and confidentiality.

The legal basis for this protection sits within Swedish privacy and confidentiality laws, including the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act (offsånd offentlighets- och sekretesslagen, OSL) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) implemented in Sweden. Records marked as integritetsskyddat may be partially redacted or accessible only to authorized individuals or organizations. Data falling under sensitive categories often require stronger safeguards and restricted handling.

In practice, integritetsskyddat appears in archives, registries, and administrative records to guide access decisions. For researchers, journalists, or members of the public, it signals that some information is withheld or subject to formal access procedures, with justification and privacy protections in place. The term underscores the balance between transparency and individual privacy within Sweden’s public information framework.
