GDPR for life science data

On 25 May 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, replaced our Swedish Personal Data Act. The biggest changes were that individuals’ rights are now more strongly protected and the Regulation applies in all EU countries.

The General Data Protection Regulation requires a legal basis for all processing of personal data. Individuals are given greater control over their personal data in various ways. Their right to access data that they have submitted themselves is strengthened, as is the possibility of having information corrected or being forgotten and having information erased. All processing of personal data must comply with the fundamental principles specified in the GDPR. 

SciLifeLab is a national resource and a collaboration between universities, therefore specific guidelines from each university should be followed. To facilitate your compliance with GDPR, general information has been collected below.

More information regarding the specific GDPR procedures at our host universities can be found here:
