Storage and sharing of personal data
The right to store and share personal data to combat match-fixing
What's at stake: The ability to process personal data about suspected match-fixing affects how effectively different sports can detect and report manipulated results linked to betting. If only federations affiliated with the Swedish Sports Confederation are covered, criminal activity risks shifting to sports that fall outside it, such as esports.
Case texts and AI reasoning are AI-translated from the Swedish originals; the Swedish text is authoritative.
What the vote decides
The question is whether the expanded rights to store and share personal data to combat match-fixing should be limited to the Swedish Sports Confederation and its member federations, or whether federations outside the Confederation should also be able to gain the same powers.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee supports the government's proposal for expanded powers for the Swedish Sports Confederation, its member federations, and gaming licence holders to store and share personal data to combat match-fixing, and rejects the motions calling for the powers to go further.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 15 (V, C)
The reservation (V, C) argues that the government's proposal does not go far enough, since it only gives the Swedish Sports Confederation and its affiliated federations the right to process personal data in match-fixing work. Other federations, such as in esports, which has already been hit by match-fixing, risk being left worse equipped, and criminal activity may shift there as it becomes harder to fix matches within the Confederation's sports. The government should therefore be tasked with, after review, giving other federations the same powers to process personal data.
Summarised from the committee report. Party labels in the summary come from the report, not from the vote.
What do the votes mean here?
Yes The committee proposal: rejecting the motions (keeping things as they are).
No Backing the counter-proposal: reservation 15 by V, C.
Abstain The party marks a position of its own that is not one of the two final alternatives.
What each plan points to — and how the party voted
For each party: the vote its own election manifesto and party programme point to in this case, next to how the party actually voted. A plan can only point to Yes or No; a party can also abstain.

Riksdag decision: The Riksdag approved the government's proposal on measures to ensure a sound and safe gambling market. The measures proposed by the government include, among other things: opportunities to involve payment service providers to block deposits and payment of winnings to and from unlicensed gambling operators opportunity for the Gambling Inspectorate to purchase gambling services under a false identity as part of supervision of gambling operators opportunities to store and transfer personal data to prevent so-called match-fixing, that is, when a sporting event has been manipulated in connection with betting obligation for gambling operators to provide information upon request to the Police Authority that is needed to investigate crimes related to gambling. The measures involve changes to the Gambling Act that come into force on 1 July 2023. At the same time, the Riksdag rejected approximately 50 proposals in motions on gambling issues from the 2022 ordinary motion period. Among other things, the Riksdag refers to previous positions and to the government's proposal described above.
Counter-proposals
- The counter-proposal wants to maintain high channelization in the gaming market to ensure good player protection. (V, C) — Reservation 15
Plan vs actual vote
Every party, in chamber order: what its own plan pointed to, how it voted, and the reasoning behind both. Highlighted rows are where the two differ — but a vote that follows the plan is a result too, so the reasoning is there for every party.
The party programme states that everyone has the right to a broad private sphere that is protected on practical and principled grounds and that growing surveillance and registration should be counteracted.
Plan documents: party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The party programme states that everyone has the right to a broad private sphere that is protected on practical and principled grounds and that growing surveillance and registration should be counteracted. The counter-proposal wants to expand the circle of organizations that are allowed to process personal data in the fight against match-fixing, i.e. more registration among more private actors. The plan's integrity commitment and its emphasis on the fundamental principles of the rule of law therefore speak against such an expansion.
Original (Swedish)
Partiprogrammet slår fast att alla har rätt till en bred privat sfär som skyddas på praktisk och principiell grund och att växande övervakning och registrering ska motverkas. Motförslaget vill utvidga kretsen av förbund som får behandla personuppgifter i arbetet mot matchfixning, alltså mer registrering hos fler enskilda aktörer. Planens integritetsåtagande och dess betoning av rättsstatens fundamentala principer talar därför emot en sådan utvidgning.

The election manifesto states that the fight against crime shall be uncompromising and that secrecy barriers shall be torn down so that those who shall do the job can do it, which speaks for also other organizations after review getting to handle personal data against match-fixing.

The election manifesto states that the fight against crime shall be uncompromising and that secrecy barriers shall be torn down so that those who shall do the job can do it, which speaks for also other organizations after review getting to handle personal data against match-fixing. The party programme's requirement to protect personal integrity is a counterweight that motivates precisely a review in each case. The plan does not, however, address match-fixing.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet slår fast att kampen mot kriminaliteten ska vara kompromisslös och att sekretesshinder ska rivas så att de som ska göra jobbet kan göra det, vilket talar för att även andra förbund efter prövning får behandla personuppgifter mot matchfixning. Partiprogrammets krav på skydd för den personliga integriteten utgör en motvikt som motiverar just en prövning i varje fall. Planen behandlar dock inte matchfixning.

The party programme wants to protect people's right to privacy and private life and opposes laws that entail disproportionate intrusions into privacy.
Plan documents: party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The party programme wants to protect people's right to privacy and private life and opposes laws that entail disproportionate intrusions into privacy. Expanding the right to store and share personal data with more associations means more actors register individuals, which goes against that principle. That organised crime shall be combated argues the other way, but the plan sets privacy as the limit.
Original (Swedish)
Partiprogrammet vill värna människors rätt till integritet och privatliv och motsätter sig lagar som innebär oproportionerliga ingrepp i integriteten. Att utvidga rätten att lagra och dela personuppgifter till fler förbund innebär att fler aktörer registrerar enskilda, vilket går emot den principen. Att organiserad brottslighet ska bekämpas talar åt andra hållet, men planen sätter integriteten som gräns.

The plan requires that all legislation be reviewed for its impact on personal integrity, with proportionality between the intrusion and the purpose, and that there is protection against both state and private intrusions into privacy.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan requires that all legislation be reviewed for its impact on personal integrity, with proportionality between the intrusion and the purpose, and that there is protection against both state and private intrusions into privacy. Broadening the right to store and share personal data to more associations expands the intrusion further. The plan's equality argument for more sports weighs lighter than privacy protection.
Original (Swedish)
Planen kräver att all lagstiftning prövas mot sin påverkan på den personliga integriteten, med proportionalitet mellan intrånget och syftet, och att det finns skydd mot både statliga och privata ingrepp i privatlivet. Att bredda rätten att lagra och dela personuppgifter till fler förbund utvidgar intrånget ytterligare. Planens jämlikhetsargument för fler idrotter väger lättare än integritetsskyddet.
- proportionality on privacy intrusionweak support»All lagstiftning bör prövas mot dess påverkan på människors personliga integritet. Det måste finnas en proportionalitet mellan lagstiftningens inskränkning av medborgarnas integritet och lagarnas syfte.« (party programme ↗)“All legislation should be reviewed for its impact on people's personal integrity. There must be proportionality between legislation's restriction of citizens' integrity and the laws' purpose.”

The plan allows privacy intrusions only when a countervailing interest weighs manifestly heavier and the measure is effective, and establishes that registration shall not be used for other purposes than the original reasons.
Plan documents: party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan allows privacy intrusions only when a countervailing interest weighs manifestly heavier and the measure is effective, and establishes that registration shall not be used for other purposes than the original reasons. Expanding the right to process personal data for more, in advance undetermined associations lacks support in the plan and is not tested against that threshold. The plan's desire to put new forms of association on equal footing, however, speaks in the opposite direction, why the conclusion is uncertain.
Original (Swedish)
Planen tillåter integritetsingrepp bara när ett motstående intresse väger uppenbart tyngre och åtgärden är effektiv, och slår fast att registrering inte får användas för andra syften än de ursprungliga motiven. Att vidga rätten att behandla personuppgifter till fler, i förväg obestämda förbund saknar stöd i planen och prövas inte mot den tröskeln. Planens vilja att jämställa nya föreningsformer talar samtidigt i motsatt riktning, varför slutsatsen är osäker.
- manifestly heavier countervailing interest requireddecisive»är endast berättigade om ett motstående intresse väger uppenbart tyngre och åtgärden är effektiv.« (party programme ↗)“are only justified if a countervailing interest weighs manifestly heavier and the measure is effective.”
- purpose limitation»Övervakning och registrering ska inte användas för andra syften än vad som var de ursprungliga motiven« (party programme ↗)“Surveillance and registration shall not be used for purposes other than what were the original reasons”
- strengthened privacy protection»Skyddet för den enskildes integritet ska stärkas.« (party programme ↗)“Protection for individuals' privacy shall be strengthened.”

The plan requires that all crimes are prosecuted effectively and without exception, which argues for other associations than the Swedish Sports Confederation to be able to process personal data against match-fixing so that criminality does not move to where control is weaker.
Plan documents: party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan requires that all crimes are prosecuted effectively and without exception, which argues for other associations than the Swedish Sports Confederation to be able to process personal data against match-fixing so that criminality does not move to where control is weaker. The plan furthermore wants the state and municipality to give different groups equivalent opportunity and freedom to take responsibility for their activities. The demand for caution and respect for personal integrity motivates that the expansion be done after review.
Original (Swedish)
Planen kräver att alla brott beivras effektivt och utan undantag, vilket talar för att även andra förbund än Riksidrottsförbundet ska kunna behandla personuppgifter mot matchfixning så att kriminaliteten inte flyttar dit kontrollen är svagare. Planen vill dessutom att stat och kommun ger olika grupper likvärdig möjlighet och frihet att ansvara för sina verksamheter. Kravet på försiktighet och respekt för den personliga integriteten motiverar att utvidgningen sker efter prövning.
- all crimes shall be prosecuteddecisive»Alla brott ska effektivt och utan undantag beivras, också sådana som kan avfärdas som smärre brott« (party programme ↗)“All crimes shall be effectively and without exception prosecuted, also such as can be dismissed as minor crimes”
- equivalent terms for associations»stat och kommun ger olika grupper möjlighet och frihet« (party programme ↗)“state and municipality give different groups opportunity and freedom”

The plan is prepared to remove secrecy barriers when information sharing is needed to prevent and investigate crime, and it invests broadly in preventive work.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan is prepared to remove secrecy barriers when information sharing is needed to prevent and investigate crime, and it invests broadly in preventive work. Allowing other associations, after examination, to handle personal data in work against match fixing follows that logic and closes a gap where crime could move. The plan's commitment to valuing personal integrity speaks for the expansion to be examined in each case. The subject matter is not addressed, which is why the conclusion is derived.
Original (Swedish)
Planen är beredd att undanröja sekretesshinder när informationsdelning behövs för att förebygga och utreda brott, och den satsar brett på förebyggande arbete. Att låta även andra förbund, efter prövning, behandla personuppgifter i arbetet mot matchfixning följer den logiken och täpper till en lucka dit brottslighet kan flytta. Planens åtagande att värna den personliga integriteten talar för att utvidgningen ska prövas i varje fall. Sakfrågan behandlas inte, varför slutsatsen är härledd.
- information sharing against crimedecisive»Undanröja alla sekretesshinder mellan socialtjänst och polis« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove all secrecy barriers between social services and police”
- broad preventive work»Moderaterna vill därför genomföra det största brottsförebyggande reformpaketet i modern tid.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Moderates want to therefore implement the largest crime prevention reform package in modern times.”

The plan establishes that e-sport is a real sport and that its position shall be improved.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan establishes that e-sport is a real sport and that its position shall be improved. That other federations besides the Swedish Sports Confederation, for instance within e-sport, after examination shall be able to process personal data against match-fixing follows from this equating. The plan's zero tolerance for crime and requirement for better tools to detect criminality point in the same direction.
Original (Swedish)
Planen slår fast att e-sport är en sport på riktigt och att dess ställning ska förbättras. Att även andra förbund än Riksidrottsförbundets, exempelvis inom e-sport, efter prövning ska kunna behandla personuppgifter mot matchfixning följer av den likställigheten. Planens nolltolerans mot brott och krav på bättre verktyg för att upptäcka kriminalitet pekar i samma riktning.
- e-sport equated with sportdecisive»Det är dags att inse att E-sport är en sport på riktigt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is time to realise that e-sport is a real sport.”
- strengthened position for e-sport»Förbättra e-sportens ställning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improve e-sport's position.”
- zero tolerance for crime»Införa nolltolerans mot brott så att även mindre allvarliga brott utreds och lagförs« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce zero tolerance for crime so that even less serious crimes are investigated and prosecuted.”
- tools against criminality»Rättsväsendets samverkan mellan myndigheter och verktyg för att upptäcka och lagföra kriminella ska förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The judicial system's cooperation between authorities and tools to detect and prosecute criminals shall be improved.”
