The Norwegian Privacy Appeals Board (Personvernnemnda) processes and decides on appeals against decisions of the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet). Parties have to appeal a decision directly with the DPA. If the DPA upholds its decision, the appeal is submitted to Personvernnemnda, who has the authority to overturn decisions issued by Datatilsynet. Personvernnemnda's decisions are final under the administrative procedure, but can be appealed to the courts.

Structure

Personvernnemnda is an independent administrative body subordinate to the Norwegian Ministry of Local Government and Modernisation.
