5. How we handle your personal data when you participate in an international consulting project

Purpose:

When we are in contact with you as an existing, future or potential project participant, we process your personal data and/or your business data for the purpose of preparing offers and contracts and delivering and invoicing services in the project in accordance with the concluded agreement. In this way, the agreement is the legal basis for our processing of your data (the legal framework is Article 6, paragraph 1(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation).

Categories of personal data:

Expert, project assistant, interpreter or representative of local business partner
We process your contact and professional data, including your name, date of birth, personal ID (e.g. CPR no.), telephone number, email, nationality, sex, passport details, occupation, education, work experience, qualification details and, if relevant, your bank and/or business data.

Expatriate adviser
We process your contact and professional data, including your name, date of birth, personal ID (e.g. CPR no.), telephone number, email, nationality, sex, passport details, occupation, education, work experience, qualification details and, if relevant, your business data.

For expatriates and any accompanying family, we also process data about health conditions for the purpose of taking out an expatriate insurance policy under the terms of the contract.

Representative of donor organisation
We process your contact and professional data, including your name, telephone number, email and occupation.

Receivers of the data:

In connection with your participation in international advisory projects, we may share your personal data with other institutions and authorities in and outside Denmark.

Any general personal data we receive on you as a project participant is included in offer and contract. Accordingly, the donor organisation of the project as well as the local business partner receive this data.

If you are a project participant with a business of your own, we will pay your invoices via Navision Stat (the Agency for Public Finance and Management), which will consequently receive the name, CVR number, EAN number (if relevant) and address of your business as well as your name.

If you are a representative of a donor organisation, we issue invoices to your organisation via Navision Stat (the Agency for Public Finance and Management), which will consequently receive the name, CVR number, EAN number (if relevant) and address of the organisation as well as the name of the representative from the donor organisation.

If as a project participant you receive fees for your services via SLS (the government’s payroll system), SLS will receive your name, address, CPR number and banking details.

As a local project participant (e.g. interpreters and project assistants), you will be paid a fee for your services via a local bank, which receives your name, address and account details.

If as a project participant you need to get a visa with the assistance of Statistics Denmark, we will share your passport details and any general personal data with the passport-issuing embassy or the company that can manage the visa application.

In most cases, international advisory projects pertain to cooperation with countries defined as insecure third countries in the General Data Protection Regulation. We will only transfer your personal data in cases where compliance with the contractual obligations and consequently your work and the completion of the project depends on it. The work with international advisory projects is of major public interest as stipulated by the Act on Statistics Denmark. For this reason, the transfer of personal data to insecure third countries falls within Article 49, paragraph 1(d) of the General Data Protection Regulation. For projects funded by the EU, any transfer of personal data to other institutions, regardless of country, additionally falls within Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 (IDPR).

To take out an expatriate insurance policy, the insurance company GOUDA will receive the health information we received about you and any accompanying family that you may have, if you are an expatriate adviser.

Where we get your data:

We primarily receive the personal data that we process from you or your employer.

How long we store your data:

If you participate in a project funded by the EU, for documentation purposes for subsequent auditing, we store your general personal data physically and electronically for seven years after the closing of the project in accordance with EU’s “Practical Guide for Procurement and Grants for European Union external actions” (PRAG).

If you participate in a project funded by other donor organisations, for accounting purposes and for subsequent auditing, we store your general personal data physically and electronically for five years after the closing of the project in accordance with the Danish Bookkeeping Act, unless our contractual terms with the donor organisation stipulates otherwise.

If we help you with your visa application, we will store your passport details and personal data entered in the application until a visa is issued, after which we will delete the data physically and electronically.

We will delete any health information we may receive from you in order to take out expatriate insurance as soon as we have transferred the information to GOUDA.
