The purpose of this GDPR Privacy Policy is to inform you as a visitor about how Big Science Sweden processes personal data submitted via the website. Additionally, we want to clarify how the technology used on our website respects and relates to the visitor’s personal privacy.

What is personal data?

Personal data is information that can be linked to an identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is someone who can be identified directly or indirectly, for example, through a name, photo, or location data. The key factor is that the information, either on its own or in combination with other data, can be connected to a living person.
