This may include, for example, your attendance at other events and/or your published comments, interviews, media representations related to children’s rights and business.

6. What legal basis do we have for handling your personal information?

We only process personal data for as long as it takes to fulfil the purpose of its collection, after which we delete the data.

If you have an active dialogue with us, your data is stored for 24 months from the latest interaction; then we clear the data we have registered about you. An active dialogue means having interacted with Global Child Forum, or representatives from Global Child Forum, via telephone, or emails, by registering via a form, during the last 24 months.

If you have agreed to the processing of your personal data in connection with your acceptance of regular mailings to you, then we continue to process your personal data until you unsubscribe to mailings, after which we store your personal data for 24 months before it is cleared. We will then be unable to contact you by way of the previously registered contact information.

If you are employed by a company we process your data until (1) you have terminated your employment with the company, or (2) the company no longer has an active relationship with us. Once a relationship has ceased, the storing and processing of your data will be handled according to the terms as described in the two paragraphs above. If you terminate your employment with the company, you are responsible for notifying us at the specified contact details, and we will clear your data immediately.

9. Who can access the data?

Submitted data is available to a limited number of people within Global Child Forum, who work with communications, research and events.

10. We share certain data within the context of third-party cooperation

If we have registered your personal data in connection with participation at one of our events conducted together with an external party, we may pass over some personal data to our event partners, such as contact details or food allergies. If that is done, we always ensure that our partners adhere to our privacy guidelines. Global Child Forum will never give away, or sell, your personal information for any commercial purposes.

11. Where is the data stored?

The data is stored either on our own servers or on behalf of Stiftelsen Global Child Forum partners with whom we have a personal information agreement. This is necessary in order to ensure our normal business efficiency. The personal information agreements detail how the information is protected against unauthorised access, destruction and disclosure.

You are entitled to withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data at any time. If you withdraw your consent, we will delete all data we have about you. Please note that deletion of your personal data stored by us may impact the delivery of information in the context of a stakeholder relationship, as well as potentially impact any ongoing dialogues. If you are unsatisfied with how we handle your personal data, you have a right to make a complaint to the governing authority, The Swedish Data Inspection Authority.
