The purpose of processing your data
We try to understand from the bottom up how families deal with the hardship of life in the form of migration, incarceration and urban marginality.
The data will be published in scientific journals (always pseudonymized).
We process the following personal data:
☒ General personal data (see Article 6(1) (a))
(E.g. name, address, email, age, self-published data etc.)
☒ Sensitive personal data (see Article 9(2) (a))
(E.g. health data, racial origin, political opinions etc.)
During the discussion, information related to race, religion, sexual orientation, and ethnic origin may be collected if relevant to understanding your journey.
How we store your data
We store your personal data securely and confidentially in accordance with applicable information security regulations.
In general, we use suppliers of IT systems such as Microsoft for the processing and storage of personal data at AAU. We have entered into data processing agreements with the suppliers. This means, among other things, that the suppliers are subject to direct instructions from AAU on how to process personal data, confidentiality and compliance with the data protection rules.
We store your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which we are obtaining your consent and in accordance with the applicable legislation. We then delete, anonymise or archive (in accordance with the Danish Archives Act) your personal data.
Archiving your personal data under the Danish Archives Act means that AAU, as a public authority, may in some cases be obliged to file and/or submit the information to the Danish National Archives. When the information is submitted to the Danish National Archives, it is covered by the rules of the Danish Archives Act, which requires, among other things, permission from the Danish Data Protection Agency for the disclosure of personal data.

If you have given your consent to us to disclose your personal data (or parts of your personal data) to certain collaborative partners mentioned in the consent form, your personal data may be disclosed to them.
We do not disclose your personal information to third parties within the EU.
Disclosure to third parties outside the Eu
We do not disclose your personal data to third parties outside the EU.
