9. Who do we disclose your personal data to?
UDI has a duty of secrecy and can only disclose your personal data if it is stated in the law that we can, or if you consent to it.
Several public agencies are entitled to collect information from UDI, such as the Norwegian Tax Administration, NAV, Lånekassen, the Population Register and the police. We also have a duty to disclose information to other countries in Europe who cooperate on national border control, visa regulations, police duties and processing of asylum applications (countries that participate in the Schengen Agreement and the Dublin Regulation).
We also disclose certain information to international organisations and special interest organisations that help us in immigration cases, such as Caritas and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Businesses and individuals that carry out work for UDI can also be given access to information that is necessary to their work, for example those running a reception centre.
UDI can also disclose information that is not subject to a duty of secrecy to other public agencies and to businesses and individuals. For example, we disclose information to the Labour Inspection Authority and employers about whether a person has a right to work in Norway.
