Does TFF have the right to process personal data about me?
We are obliged under the Motor Traffic Damage Act (1975:1410) to settle certain types of road traffic accident claims. In order to fulfil our legal obligation, we may need to process personal data concerning those involved in road traffic accident claims.

We process data that includes name and personal identity number, contact details and vehicle registration number.

We can obtain your personal data from parties other than yourself. These may be insurance companies, public authorities or other persons involved in the road traffic accident claim.

Is sensitive data processed?
We may process sensitive data, for example concerning your health and your financial circumstances if you or your representative have submitted such data to us or if we, through your power of attorney, have collected data from a third party.

To enable us to assess the right to compensation in personal injury cases, sensitive data may be provided to medical advisors and translation companies. In some cases data may be provided to rehabilitation companies.

The case officers can see your personal data. In some cases our IT staff can see the data when troubleshooting or developing the system.

We may provide data to insurance companies that are involved in a claim or to public authorities, medical advisors and translation companies. We also provide data to postal and printing companies so that you can receive our letters.

As a principal rule, we and those to whom we provide data only process your personal data within the EU/EEA. In some cases data may be provided to a country outside the EU/EES within the framework of the International Green Card system, where we have agreements that ensure protection of your personal data.
