Many of the fertility apps that SVT reported on have their base outside the EU.

But according to Anders Ygerman (S), it does not matter.

If a company is active in the EU, they must comply with the data protection regulation GDPR.

Companies that do not comply with the GDPR law can be fined heavily.

According to the Minister for Digitalisation, a company that violates the law can be fined up to 200 million or 4 percent of the company's total turnover.

But the responsibility for ensuring that the apps do not break the law does not rest solely with the app companies themselves, says Anders Ygeman.

- You can make tougher demands on the platforms that provide these apps.

How they check that they comply with applicable laws and how they live up to the privacy requirements we have the right to set.

They do some checks and have some markings.

But here it seems that there are apps that directly violate the law that have escaped their control, says Anders Ygeman.

"May be harmful later in life"

The Minister for Digitization reacts in particular to the fact that apps that contain sensitive information do not comply with the law.

When it comes to the apps' terms of use, which can often be difficult to understand, Ygeman wants to set stricter requirements via the EU.

- It should be a high minimum level.

Only if you want to share more data can you agree to it.

This forest of terms of use means that no one reads them in the end and that no one knows what they have actually clicked on, says Anders Ygerman.
