Confidential data and personal data

Does your data contain confidential information and/or personal data? This is often called sensitive data and requires special measures.

Keep these things in mind when handling sensitive data:

  1. Consider purpose and necessity. Do not collect more sensitive data than you absolutely need!
  2. Follow the basic data protection requirements if your data contains personal data
  3. Handle sensitive data respectfully
  4. Follow the guides provided by ÅA
  5. If something is unclear: don't guess, but ask your supervisor!
