The Regulatory Sandbox is a valuable method for exploring issues where there are few legal precedents. Participants and the Norwegian Data Protection Authority collaboratively explore issues concerning privacy to help ensure that a new service or product complies with regulations and safeguards individuals' privacy. The conclusions do not constitute binding decisions or pre-approvals. Participants are free to decide whether to follow the advice they receive.
