Handbook for data containing personal information

SND’s handbook for data containing personal information offers practical guidance on how personal data can be managed in research. It is aimed at both researchers and research data support staff at Swedish higher education institutions and public research institutions. 

The handbook is divided into the four sections listed below. In addition to this, we have compiled a glossary of common terms in relation to personal data.

This handbook should be seen as general guidance and does not replace local advice or institutional policies. If you are unsure about anything, always consult your organization’s Data Protection Officer or legal officers.
