What personal data is

Personal data is information of any type that can be linked to you as a person, such as your name, address, apartment number and contact details like your telephone number and e-mail addresses. IP numbers, cookies and electronic identities are also personal data if they can be linked to you.

Processing of personal data at our premises

When you apply for accommodation at Studentbostäder

When you register in our queue for accommodation, we process the personal data that you provided during registration in order to create Mina Sidor [My Pages] and to place you in the queue for accommodation. During the period when you are in the queue, we collect and process your personal data in order to manage your application/expression of interest. We do this with balancing of interests as the legal basis for processing your personal data. Processing of personal identity numbers is necessary with regard to the purpose of the processing. The data will be retained for as long as you are in our queue.

When you are offered accommodation with us

When you are offered accommodation, we need to process more data on you. If a guardian or trustee exists, we need to process that data. If you are offered student accommodation, we will process the notification of admission or other certificates proving that you are studying. If you are refused an apartment with us because we cannot approve you as a tenant, we will retain your personal data for three months after the decision to refuse you.

When you have a rental agreement

When you become our customer and receive an agreement, we process your personal data to enable us to fulfil and manage our obligation as a landlord and as a party to the agreement. During the contractual relationship, we process your personal data when, for example, we send rent notifications and manage your payments, when we obtain information on consumption of electricity and/or water/heating, when we negotiate the rent and when we send you information that you require. We may also need to update your personal data against public records to ensure that it is correct.


If you have protected personal data, we will process your data according to our established procedures.
We also process your personal data to enable us to provide our services to you and to market ourselves and our services. This processing is necessary for our legitimate interest in developing and improving our services and maintaining satisfactory customer contact with you.


Your personal data will also be processed to enable other companies to market products that you can benefit from in connection with the contractual relationship, such as broadband companies, insurance companies and electricity companies. You can inform us at any time if you do not wish your personal data to be processed for marketing purposes.
We also process your personal data when this is necessary to attend to a legal claim. This applies if, for example, there are disturbances in the accommodation, rental payments are late or unpaid or there is any damage to the apartment.

We may also process your personal data in other cases: if you wish to change apartments and we receive information about you from the tenant who is the leaseholder of the apartment you wish to rent.

We may also be required to disclose your personal data to the Social Welfare Board or other relevant authorities in accordance with laws and regulations.
We may engage personal data processors to process your personal data.

If the data is transferred to a country outside the EU, we ensure that such a transfer is lawful.

This can be a question of camera surveillance in communal areas where tenants or others move around, such as laundry facilities and recycling facilities. You are informed by clear on-site signage in locations where camera surveillance is in operation. The image and video recordings obtained via camera surveillance are stored for a maximum of 14 days and may be handed over to the police for investigation of possible crimes.

If you are one of our suppliers and/or contact persons

We process personal data on you if you are a contact person or employee at one of our suppliers or business partners. We do this because we have a legitimate interest in being able to enter into, manage and fulfil the agreement with the supplier or business partner.

If you have a sole proprietorship, we process your personal data in order to fulfil the agreement with you.
