Processing of sensible data in research projects is covered by Section 10 of the Act on Data Protection.

Processing and storage 

The Academy processes personal data confidentially. Personal data will be processed and stored in The Academy's it-systems. When the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, it is deleted or filed in The Academy's records. 

The Academy may store the data if it is part of a lawsuit or if The Academy is considering using the data in a lawsuit. 


Disclosure of information 

Information will not be disclosed to anyone without the data subject being informed unless The Academy is obliged to disclose the information to other public authorities or unions/accredited representatives. 

Research data from official statistics and registers will only be disclosed for statistical or scientific purposes. 

As part of The Academy's treatment of salaries and staff, The Academy is required to disclose information to the Modernization Board, (Moderniseringsstyrelsen) which is considered joint data controller. The Academy is also required to disclose information to the tax authorities (SKAT) and in connection with wage negotiations also to unions/accredited representatives. These are considered to be independent data controllers.
