Processing of personal data and data protection

At Lund University, we shall process personal data in accordance with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swedish Data Protection Act. On this page you will find information, advice and support for the processing of personal data within the faculty.

Processing of personal data

Support and guidance on how personal data processing should be carried out in the daily work can be found on Lund University's staff pages.

Online courses

It is important that all employees are familiar with the data protection regulations. A good way to get started is to take the online internal training courses offered via Kompetensportalen.

Does your department have requests for its own educational initiatives or activities in the area? Feel free to contact the faculty's contact persons with a request.

Operational support

The Faculty of Social Sciences has two data protection coordinators who coordinate the faculty's work on personal data management and cooperate with Lund University’s data protection coordinator. See contact box for more information.

The faculty has its own guidelines for when students handle personal data within their studies.

Which template to use depends on the type of personal data involved. Please note that the templates do not replace other information and consent to participation
