However, data may also be processed by the host/contractor of the conference/event in question and data processors, i.e. companies with which SLU Akademikonferens collaborates regarding IT operations, payments, printing, distribution, accommodation, meals and transportation. However, these parties may not use information about you for any purpose other than for the conference/event in question with the aim of providing services they are hired for.

Personal data are kept for as long as necessary for the purpose of the processing. For example, data on special dietary requirements are deleted immediately after the end of the conference.

Your personal data will also be stored for as long as required by legislation on public documents and government archives.
