# How do Swedish and EU law protect my data on Fluxer?

The GDPR covers all your data on fluxer.com wherever it's stored, IMY supervises us, and Swedish authorities need a decision under Swedish law to get your data.

Because Fluxer is run by a Swedish company, the GDPR covers all your personal data on fluxer.com wherever it's stored, and the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) supervises how we handle it. Swedish police and prosecutors need a decision under Swedish law to get your data, and many of those decisions can be reviewed by a court.

## What does the GDPR give me?

You can see, correct, export and delete your personal data, object to how we use it and complain to a data protection authority. [Section 10 of our privacy policy](https://fluxer.com/privacy.md) lists them all, and you can use most of them in the app, like [exporting your data](https://fluxer.com/help/data-export.md) or [deleting your account](https://fluxer.com/help/delete-account.md).

## Who supervises Fluxer?

IMY is the Swedish authority that supervises how Fluxer handles personal data under the GDPR. You can complain to IMY or to the data protection authority in the country where you live, and section 10 of our privacy policy says how to do it.

## What do the Swedish constitution and EU law say about privacy?

The [Swedish constitution](https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-och-lagar/dokument/svensk-forfattningssamling/kungorelse-1974152-om-beslutad-ny-regeringsform_sfs-1974-152/) protects everyone against Swedish authorities opening or secretly intercepting private messages, except where a law allows it, such as a court-approved interception. It also protects against surveillance or mapping that seriously intrudes on someone's privacy without consent, unless a law allows it.

The [EU Charter of Fundamental Rights](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/treaty/char_2012/oj) protects your private life, communications and personal data. Any limit has to be set by law and be necessary and proportionate.

## What do Swedish authorities need to get my data?

Swedish police and prosecutors need a decision under the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure, and the most intrusive measures need a court's permission. These are the main kinds of decisions that can apply to your data on fluxer.com.

- A prosecutor or an investigation leader can order us to keep specific data for up to 90 days and extend it once by up to 90 more days. We can ask a court to review it.
- A prosecutor or an investigation leader can decide to seize data, and we can ask a court to review the seizure, which it normally does within four days.
- Secret interception of communications needs a court's permission, and it's allowed only for serious crimes, such as crimes with a minimum sentence of two years.

We review every decision we get under [section 14 of our privacy policy](https://fluxer.com/privacy.md).

## Does Fluxer have to keep data for the police?

Sweden has no general rule that makes Fluxer keep data for the police, because its data retention rules cover phone and internet providers and not messaging services that work without phone numbers. A prosecutor can still order us to keep specific data, as [described above](https://fluxer.com/help/swedish-and-eu-privacy-law.md). We keep data only for the periods in [section 7 of our privacy policy](https://fluxer.com/privacy.md).

## What about requests from other countries?

Governments outside the EU have to ask Sweden for help, and police in other EU countries follow EU e-Evidence rules. Our article on [foreign requests](https://fluxer.com/help/foreign-government-requests.md) explains both.
