How we handle personal data
  • How we use your personal data

    We at Länstrafiken and the Länstrafiken Data Processors use your personal data to improve service provision. The data could also be used by carefully selected partners for marketing and statistical purposes.

    We never give away or sell personal data to a third party. We only use personal data to improve its services and the traveller’s journey with us.

    Before public documents are handed over, a confidentiality review is conducted in accordance with the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act. This is handled by Region Örebro County and further information is available here.

These plans govern how long various items of data may be saved.

    You are entitled at any time to request details of which items of personal data we have saved about you. Further information about this right and the procedure you need to follow is available on the Region Örebro County website.

    Länstrafiken's General Travel Terms and conditions

    Collecting Personal Data for surcharges

    To administer and issue a surcharge, we need to collect information about the individual who has received the surcharge. The information we need to collect includes:

    • Name
    • Address
    • Personal identification number

    After issuing the surcharge, we also need to collect information about payment or non-payment. Personal data is used for invoicing through a partner collaboration. We are allowed to collect this information because, as a passenger using Länstrafiken's transport, you enter into an agreement with us. In that agreement, you commit to following our rules when travelling with us. This agreement is the legal basis we have for collecting and managing the data.

    Collecting Personal Data in Case of Dispute Over a surcharge

    By submitting a dispute over the surcharge, you agree to our handling of your personal data. The personal data we collect includes:

    • Name
    • Address
    • Personal identification number
    • Email address

    We use your personal data to investigate the case and for statistical purposes.

    Image and Sound Material during Ticket Inspection

    Our ticket inspectors use body cameras. The image and sound material have a legal basis in the balancing of interests. We use video and audio recording to prevent threatening situations during ticket inspections. We also use it to facilitate investigations afterward if threatening situations have occurred. In these situations, our interest in maintaining safety in our transport is considered more significant than the registered individuals' interest in not being filmed or photographed. This applies to the safety of passengers, bus drivers, and inspectors alike.

  • Personal data when using Wifi

    In some cases, we may collect personal data when you use our internet on board. This is the email address and information about the device being used. This data is used to provide the service and improve it through statistics.
