videreførsel

Videreførsel is a Norwegian term describing the act of forwarding, transmitting, or carrying something forward to another recipient or stage. It is used across several domains to denote the transfer of information, rights, or duties from one party to another, or the continuation of a process beyond a given point.

In telecommunications and information technology, videreførsel commonly refers to forwarding of calls or messages. Call forwarding redirects an incoming telephone call to another number or to voicemail. Email forwarding automatically redirects messages according to rules, possibly conditioned on sender, subject, or recipient. Settings may be user-controlled or administratively imposed and are subject to privacy and security considerations.

In law and business, videreførsel covers the transfer of rights or claims to another party, typically through assignment or novation, and the continuation or transfer of duties in a contract or project. Such transfers typically require formal agreements, notifications, and sometimes consent from affected parties, and may be restricted by contract terms or law.

In data protection and governance, videreførsel of personal data must comply with applicable privacy laws. Data controllers must ensure lawful basis for processing, provide transparency, and implement safeguards to prevent improper forwarding of sensitive information.
