Big rise in sanctions as IMY seeks sharper focus on data protection and privacy.

Over SKr 120m ($11.7m) in sanctions were imposed by Integrationsmyndigheten (IMY) – The Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection – last year, its new annual report shows. That is a big increase from 2022 when ‘only’ Skr 10m ($960,000) was sanctioned.

IMY started also started more supervisory proceedings, 210 in total compared with 121 the year before.
