Finansforbundet's Privacy- and Cookie Policy

As a general rule, you can navigate Finansforbundet’s websites without providing personal data, i.e. data that can be used to identify you as a person, such as first and last name, private address, member number and email address.

However, there are certain special features that you can only use and benefit from if you provide personal data, but it is generally the case that we only ask you for the information that is necessary to be able to serve you.

For example, when you:

• Log in to get access to Feriebørsen [Holiday Exchange] or edit your member data and consent, because we need to be able to uniquely identify you using MitID or your personal username and password.
• Sign up for a newsletter, because then we need to know your email address and your name to be able to uniquely identify you and send you the newsletter.
• Sign up for an event, because we need a number of pieces of information to be able to process your registration and possibly invoice you.
• Use our payroll or job calculator, because it is necessary, e.g. for salary information, to be able to place your salary level and calculate the value of your salary.
• Book a career interview, because in doing so, you accept that your career advisor needs access to the results of your exercises so that they can be used as a starting point for the interview. We also use your data to send you career information relevant to your results. For example, this could be information about relevant courses and events.
• Fill out one of the forms we occasionally use in connection with, e.g. campaigns, where we may need to contact you later.
• Log in to our extranet, Finansnet, as a delegate, because it is necessary for us to uniquely identify you and your position using MitID or your personal username and password.

When you submit information about yourself via a form on one of our websites, the data is always sent encrypted via https.

The first time you use the app, we ask for your ID or member number and a password of your choice so that we can check whether you are a member of Finansforbundet and also make sure you can log in without an ID or member number in the future. You will also choose the topics you are interested in so that we can make sure you only see the events that are relevant to you.

We supplement the data that we ask you for on the first visit with data that we otherwise have about you, e.g. local union, geography and position of trust. The supplemental data also helps ensure that you are only shown relevant events, e.g. events in your region.

When you use the app, we collect and process this information about you:

• ID number
• First name
• Interests
• Local union
• Position of trust
• Registration for events

In addition to the personal data, we collect information that makes it possible to see statistics on the general use of the app. For example, we keep statistics on how many people have downloaded the app, interests selected, and events registered for. The statistics do not contain any information that can be traced back to you as an individual, and we exclusively use the information to help us improve the app and selection of events and news and as part of our service to show you content that is as relevant to you as possible.

If you want to get your information deleted, you must delete the app itself. In addition, you must send an email to gdpr@finansforbundet.dk asking us to remove your information in the app, i.e. your interests, your registration for push notifications and the statistics that can identify you as a person.

You should be aware that we need to store the information about your registration and payment for events.
