In the process of carrying out actuarial and statistical calculations a number of parameters are used which are based directly on personal data. Such parameters include mortality rates, marriage/cohabitant rates or estimate of the number of children per member. The calculations include, for example, the price for an ATP pension, or estimates of how much money ATP needs to set aside to ensure that all member pensions can be met in full. The results of the calculation are aggregated and anonymised so that personal information such as cpr numbers cannot be seen by end users.

Identifying information about employers, including industry information, is stored in a database for the purposes of documenting employment for employees.

If you have previously lived or worked in a non-EU/EEA country or if you are currently or at a later date resident in or working in a non-EU/EEA country, we may need to transfer information about you to relevant authorities in that country so that they can process your case.

Similarly, it may also be necessary to obtain information about you or your spouse/common-law partner plus your children, if relevant, in connection with payments.

We store your information while processing your case and, as a rule, delete them 10 years after your death. The information can be stored for longer periods after the case has been concluded pursuant to the provisions in the Danish Limitation Act, the Danish Bookkeeping Act, and the Danish Archiving Act.

If you have accepted that ATP Livslang Pension can record a conversation, it is deleted after two months. You can always have the conversation deleted earlier by contacting ATP Livslang Pension.

We may make decisions that are solely based on automated data processing. The automated decisions are made by us obtaining information from public registers that is combined automatically with information in your case and which together determines whether you are entitled to pension payments and payment in case of death.

When you share your ATP information with a company or a public authority via ATP's self-service, ATP follows fixed procedures to ensure the correct handling and storage of your data.  

Sharing ATP information via ATP's self-service 

ATP provides a self-service solution on borger.dk, where you can share your ATP information with a company or a public authority.  

You choose the company or a public authority you want to share your ATP information with by entering their CVR number and following the instructions provided in the self-service on borger.dk. The company or the public authority can then retrieve your ATP information. They have 2 months to retrieve your information before the sharing ends. 

Note: ATP only provides the self-service and assumes no responsibility for how companies or public authorities use the information you share with them. ATP does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information shared via the self-service. It is your responsibility to check the information before sharing it.  

Information you can share via ATP's self-service 

When you share your ATP information via ATP's self-service, you give them permission to see: 

  • When and how much you and your employers have paid into your ATP Livslang Pension. 
  • When and how much you and other entities such as the municipality, the state, or your unemployment insurance fund have paid into your ATP Livslang Pension.   

You choose the time period the information should cover – for example, the last 1 or 3 years. 

ATP information provides insight into your employment history: ATP is a mandatory pension scheme where you, your employer, the municipality, the state, or your unemployment insurance fund must continuously pay into as long as certain conditions are met. When you share information about your payments to ATP Livslang Pension, you give the recipient insight into your employment history.  

Storage period for shared information 

ATP stores the shared information for a limited period of time, depending on whether the company or the public authority has retrieved the information: 

  • If they have retrieved your information: ATP stores it for 1 year. 
  • If they have not retrieved your information: ATP stores it for 3 months. 

After these periods, ATP deletes the shared information from ATP's systems.

Note that if the company or the public authority has already retrieved the information, they may still have access to it in their own systems even after the storage period has expired. Therefore, you need to contact them if you want them to delete your information.  

You can always see your own ATP information 

Even though ATP deletes the information you have shared, the information will still be available to you in ATP's self-service. This means that you can always see information about payments to your ATP Livslang Pension and choose to share the information again.  

You can stop sharing your ATP information

If you regret sharing your ATP information with a company or a public authority, you can choose to stop sharing via ATP's self-service. If the company or the public authority has already retrieved your information before you stop sharing, they may still have access to your information in their own systems. Therefore, you need to contact them if you want them to delete your information.

You can receive a copy of the data we process about you (insight). You can complain about us processing your personal data (objection).

  You may also request:

  •  to have your personal data corrected or erased
  •  to have the data sent to you or another party (data portability)

And finally, you can object to us making automated decisions.

If you ask to have your personal data erased, we may not be able to comply with your request.

There may be conditions or limitations to the rights mentioned above. Therefore, it is not guaranteed that, for example, you have the right to have your personal data deleted in a specific context - this will depend on the specific circumstances in connection with the data processing. Among other things, this may be due to your personal data being used in a case involving a payment to a third party or for legal compliance reasons.
