Energiforsk's privacy policy
Purpose and background
Energiforsk takes your privacy seriously. As a data controller, Energiforsk is obliged to ensure that all processing of personal data takes place by applicable data protection regulations. We want you to feel secure when you provide us with personal data. Below is a description of what personal data Energiforsk processes, for what purpose and what rights you have as a data subject.
What is personal data?
Personal data is information that can directly or indirectly identify a living person. Examples include name, social security number, telephone and address details, but also an e-mail address, an IP address, an audio recording or a photograph. Some personal data are considered particularly sensitive, including data relating to health or religion, for example, and should therefore be treated with special care. Any action taken with personal data constitutes a processing operation, whether or not it is carried out by automated means. Examples of common processing operations are collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, processing, transmission and erasure.
Who is responsible for the personal data we process?
The company Energiforsk AB, organisation number 556974-2116, with postal address: 101 53 Stockholm, is the data controller for the company's processing of personal data.
The purpose of processing personal data
The personal data we process is used to manage your participation in our conferences and other events and to send out newsletters and other information related to our research activities.
Why do we process personal data?
Energiforsk processes personal data when you:
- join one of the councils, working groups, networks or other permanent or temporary groupings within Energiforsk
- register on the Energiforsk website
- register to participate in our conferences, webinars or other events organised by Energiforsk
- order publications
- sign up for newsletters or similar
- apply for vacancies or register your interest in employment with us
- answer surveys
- appear in photographs or on videos taken at Energiforsk's various events
- contact us in other ways, for example by email or telephone.
Legal basis for processing personal data
Energiforsk primarily refers to legitimate interest for the processing of personal data and, where applicable, also to contract, legal obligation or consent.
What personal data do we collect?
The data we normally handle are name, email address, company affiliation, organisational role, areas of interest and work group affiliation.
Who else might we share personal data with?
When personal data is processed by Energiforsk in any of the situations listed above, personal data may be disclosed to third parties, i.e. to persons or companies outside Energiforsk, to the extent necessary to administer or fulfil the assignment.
In most of the above situations, Energiforsk is the data controller and the suppliers that Energiforsk uses and where personal data is processed are data processors. The processors are obliged to follow Energiforsk's instructions and are not authorised to disclose your personal data to anyone else or to use it for purposes other than those covered by Energiforsk's instructions. Data processors are also obliged to take certain technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data.
Finally, personal data may also be disclosed in the event that it is required by law, regulation or government decision (legal obligation).
What happens to my personal data when I attend a conference or other event?
When you register for a conference, you enter into an agreement. Energiforsk collects the personal data necessary for you to participate in the conference and receive information related to the activity, and for us to provide and administer the course or conference and charge the person paying for the course or conference.
Your personal data may be shared with other participants, lecturers and other organisations attending the same course or conference as you.
Energiforsk transfers personal data in the form of names, companies, accommodation and transport to external partners, lecturers/teachers, training providers, exhibitors or those who provide premises or food.
We retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary for us to fulfil our commitment, for example to organise a conference. We have routines for deletion to ensure that we comply with applicable legislation.
