Swedenergy’s Integrity Policy

Encrypted data and different kinds of electronic identification (like IP-addresses) are also personal data if they can be connected to a natural living person.

Processing of personal data means everything that is done with them. Each action taken constitutes a process, no matter if it is automatized or not. Examples of common processes are collection, registration, organization, structuring, storage, transfers, and erasure.

Legal grounds for processing of personal data

The purpose of processing personal data

Swedenergy processes personal data to enable us to fulfill our obligation to our members in accordance with our bylaws, for login on our member portal, and for administration of requested services and products.

Registered information

The data we normally process is name, e-mail address, company, position, interests and project group participation.

Swedenergy never registers so called sensitive data with the exception of information on allergies and requests for special food in connection with events we arrange. We assume that you want us to use such information and forward it to restaurants and conference organizers etcetera. The information is deleted when the event is over. If you want to know how the restaurant or conference organizer process your data, we ask you to contact them directly. You will get the contact information from us.

Forwarding of personal data

In processing personal data concerning the situations listed above, the data may be forwarded to external recipients, that is to say persons or companies outside Swedenergy, to the extent that is needed for us to administrate or fulfill our assignment.

In most of the listed situations, Swedenergy is the data controller and the suppliers that receive data are processors. Personal data processors are obligated to follow the instructions from Swedenergy and are not entitled to disclose your personal data to anybody else or to use the data for any other purpose than stated in Swedenergy’s instructions. Processors are also obligated to take certain technical and organizational actions to protect your personal information.

Finally, your personal data may be disclosed if required by law, regulations or government authorities (legal obligation).
