Old forms with personal data

You are not allowed to save personal data longer than necessary. If you do this, old personal data will be removed automatically. This document describes how we mark forms with personal data as old and which data that will be removed.

About personal data in Nettskjema

Nettskjema is a tool for designing and managing data collection, and it is not intended for storing data. General Data Protection Regulation states that personal information must not be stored any longer than is deemed necessary to carry out the purpose of the processing. Personal data is all data that can be connected to a person, e.g. name and e-mail address.

If you collect personal data in Nettskjema and have not received any submissions within that last 12 months, we assume that you do not have a necessary need to keep these data. If you do not remove the personal information from the form we will do it for you.

Automatically removing personal data in Nettskjema

Nettskjema will send out an e-mail to users who have access to edit the form that should be cleaned up before any data are removed.

Which forms will be cleaned up

Old forms with personal data will be selected by the following criteria:

Forms that have no submissions within the last 12 months and include personal data.

We assume forms include personal data if at least one of the following criteria are met:

  • Forms that include one of the Custom Fields: "Full name", "E-mail", "Username", "Person ID" og "Attachment".
