How Lund University processes personal data

Processing of personal data for events

Lund University Alumni Relations organises several events per year. Event registrations are administered in the alumni system. If you register for an event, your details will be saved in order to enable us to send you relevant information ahead of the event and to follow up and evaluate it afterwards.

If there is any food or drinks offered in connection to the event, we may also need to process data about your food preferences due to possible allergies.

When you register for a membership in the Alumni Network, you submit your name, e-mail address and your Swedish personal identification number or date of birth. We use your Swedish personal identification number, or your temporary personal identification number, in order to verify your identity. Details about your studies and degree from Lund University are imported from Ladok, our study documentation system. Addresses in Sweden are updated automatically through Ladok, SPAR, Navet or an equivalent service. Your personal identification number will only be visible to system administrators at Lund University.

In addition to the data mentioned above, you can choose to submit information about your profession and workplace, connections to Lund University faculties and if or how you want to engage as an alum.

System administrators at Lund University can make notes in the system based on the contact that Lund University has, or has had, with you, as well as your contact preferences.
