Data containing personal information

Managing research data that contains personal information entails significant responsibility and can be challenging in practice. Researchers must comply with the GDPR, Swedish legislation, local regulations, and relevant ethical guidelines. This page provides an overview of how these requirements can be applied in different situations.

The guidance should be regarded as general support and does not replace local regulations at your university. If you are unsure about any aspect of handling personal data, contact the data protection officer or a legal advisor at your university.
