  -> I do believe we're right.
disagree  Richard Lawson: The "behandlingsansvarlig" is not a "data protection officer". He is the person responsible for processing of the data. The English translation of the "personopplysningsloven" (Personal Data Act) refers to this person as the "controller".

  -> See my add-on - Data Compliance Officer - note: www.nordma.no/template/generator.cfm?d_id=59. At least Andy will have a choice and a wider berth in Peth.
disagree  Oksana Bończyk: Richard's right.
