3. Legal bases for processing

7. Complaints to IMY
If you believe that we process your personal data in breach of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) at imy.se.
8. Automated decision-making (Art. 22 GDPR)
SökHem's matching algorithm automatically compares property listings with buyer profiles based on the filters the user has specified (price, living area, rooms, geography, amenities).
This does not constitute an automated decision with legal or similarly significant effect under Art. 22.1 GDPR — the user always makes the final decision on whether to act on a match.
- The automated processing is based solely on data the user has entered in their search profile.
- The user can update or delete their search profile at any time, which immediately stops all automated matching.
- Right to request a manual review: contact hej@sokhem.se.
