Processing of personal data
What regulates processing of your personal data?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, 2016/679) regulates how we are allowed to process your personal data. This regulation applies throughout the EU from 25th May 2018.
Rights of public access
Öresundskraft is a company which is regulated by the laws of public rights of access which apply to public sector companies, municipalities and government bodies. This entails that we are required to provide access to documents which fall within this legislation. Personal data that you provide us can therefore become the subject of a public access request (eg. in the form of e-mail or other documents), and we can be required to provide these to the party requesting access. The public rights of access law (chapter 21 paragraph 7 Offentlighets och sekretesslagen 2009:400) enable us to classify personal data as secret in the event that there is a risk that the data will be used in a manner that is not in line with data protection laws.
What is personal data?
It is all data which can identify an individual person. Both direct and indirect information can in combination lead to being able to identify an individual person, such as IP-Address, user ID, telephone number, photos, films and recorded telephone calls.
What is processing of personal data?
Processing of personal data is any operation or set of operations performed upon personal data regardless of whether it is automated or not. You can presume that everything that is processed in an IT-system or database counts as processing such as collection, registration, printing, transferring and storing.
Not only do traditional IT systems and databases count as processing but also processing which occurs in for example office programs.
Who processes your personal data?
The Controller is the company (legal entity) who determines the purpose and means of processing the personal data.
If you are a electricity network customer the controller is Öresundskraft Elnät AB (company number: 559443–4036)
If you are a gas network customer the controller is Öresundskraft Gasnät AB (company number: 559448–8230).
If you are an electricity or gas retail customer, then the Controller is Öresundskraft Marknad AB (company number: 556519-7679). If you are a district heating customer the Controller is Öresundskraft Marknad AB (company number: 556519-7679).
If you are a City Fibre Network customer, then the Controller is Pingday AB (company number: 559266-1069) (a wholly owned subsidiary of Öresundskraft AB) for marketing, dealing with faults within the City Fibre Network, billing of activation and connection fees and change of Network operator. Your service provider is the Controller for all other personal data connected with your services within the City Fibre Network.
Your personal data can also be processed by our partners who process your personal data on our behalf in order to fulfil our contract with you or other legal requirements, or for marketing purposes. We enter into processing agreements with our processors to ensure that your personal data is processed in accordance with the Data Protection Regulations and Laws.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.
What personal data do we process?
Öresundskraft processes and registers personal data which you have provided us with or which is created by your use of our products or services.
We normally need certain personal data in order to enter into a contract or agreement with you, these can include name, person number (Sweden’s national identification number), telephone number, e-mail address, postal address, residential address.
When you use our products or services personal information such as meter readings, consumption values, billing and invoice information, work orders and tickets, can be created.

For our Company customers extra information will be collected via Credit Safe (source Bolagsverket) regarding the names of Managing Director, Board members and other decision makers within the Company. This is in order to ensure that we have contact with the correct persons at the Company when entering into contracts etc.
Why to we process your personal data?
Your personal data is processed in order for us to fulfil our contract or agreement with you, both prior to the contract being entered into and after. Processing can also be necessary for Öresundskraft to fulfil other legal or regulatory requirements.
Your personal data is used in order to administrate the services or products that we have contracted with you, marketing of Öresundskraft’s products or services, profiling (see marketing and profiling below), evaluation and quality control (including IT-system testing), for statistics (such as statistic that we are required to provide to the Central Statistics Bureau). If you contact us via our communication channels (such as telephone, chat, website, social media) then your personal details and any other information which you provide can be processed by being recorded or stored.
Security for your personal data
Öresundskraft continuously work with assessing and updating our technical and organisational security measures in order to protect your personal data.
Marketing and profiling
If you haven’t barred marketing contact, then we may process your personal data in order to market our own products and services or to provide you with customised offers from the Öresundskraft Group. These can be based upon your current products or services, changes in the products or services you have with us as well as how you use our communication channels. We may contact you in marketing activities via e-mail if you haven’t expressly declined marketing contact via e-mail by, for example, unsubscribing.
Your personal data may be profiled in order to provide you with better information regarding for example energy usage and offers regarding our products or services. Your personal data can be included in automated profiling where a certain profile is required to receive a certain offer. We do not apply profiling which could entail that you are denied our products or services.
In the event that a credit history check is necessary in order to enter into a contract with us (as stated in contract terms or the offer you have received) then a decision will be based upon an individual assessment of your credit worthiness and our ability to enter into a contract with you based upon that assessment. We use Credit Safe AB to provide a credit history report.
