Personal Data Processing and Data Protection

Data that contains personal information has to be handled according to certain regulations, note that:

  • All research projects that involve processing of personal data must be registered in PULU (Personal Data Lund University), access requires VPN connection. See a guide to the PULU form here: https://www.staff.lu.se/pulu-guide. Information on personal data and data protection can be found on the Staff Pages.
  • Information where extra protection is necessary, must be stored in a secure location. For example, this may apply to sensitive personal data, included in interviews (audio files and transcriptions) or survey responses, and attached consent documents. The data may need to be stored in a strongbox or on a secure server. https://www.staff.lu.se/researchdata-storage
