Processing of personal data

Skanska AB and its group of subsidiaries (jointly referred to as Skanska Group) respect the right to privacy and take all appropriate precautions to protect the personal data entrusted to us. We process personal data responsibly and in accordance with data protection legislation. 

This Personal Data Processing statement applies to Skanska AB.

We encourage you to read our personal data processing statement applicable to your local site. It details, among other things, what personal data we process about you and for what purposes. Please access your local site’s information by selecting the processing of personal data link at the bottom of the local website.

Collection and processing of personal data

The term 'personal data' means any information that, directly or indirectly, identify you as an individual. This includes, for example, your name, image, personal ID number, contact details, competition entries, selections made, behavior or IP address. The processing of personal data includes any operation performed by us or by a third acting on our behalf, such as collecting, registering, reviewing, storing, or deleting personal data.

Personal data may only be processed for specific and clearly defined purposes and must not be further processed in a way that is inconsistent with those purposes. At Skanska, we process personal data that you have given us for the sole purpose of administering inquiries and agreements from/with you, as well as providing information and services in connection with such inquiries and agreements. 

For example, this may concern competitions advertised on our website and which you choose to participate in, or subscriptions to our newsletters which you have ordered. Your personal data may also be used for marketing and follow up as well as for our sales and product development with the aim of improving our products and services. In the event that you do not wish to receive marketing and/or any offers, please contact us via the contact details listed under Contact information below.

Server‑Side Data Processing

We use server‑side data processing to support the functionality, security, and performance of our website. When you interact with the site, certain technical information—such as IP address, device and browser details, and usage data—is first collected and processed on servers controlled by Skanska. This allows us to apply privacy‑protective measures, such as filtering, pseudonymization, or IP masking, before any information is shared with external analytics providers. 

When using features on our website that allow you to post information or other material on it, please note that such information may also contain personal data. In the event that your information contains data about other individuals, you may only post such data which you have received their consent to provide.

Legal basis for processing and storage period

Skanska processes your personal data when necessary for the performance of an agreement with you and when we have another legitimate and justifiable interest in processing your personal data, such as an interest in marketing ourselves to visitors to our website, an interest in developing our website or our products and/or services, or to support the functionality, security and performance of our website.

If we were to process your personal data for any purpose which, according to applicable legislation, requires your consent, we will obtain your consent before commencing  such processing.

The data we collect in accordance with the above is deleted when the purposes of the processing have been completed. 

Security for the protection of personal data

Skanska ensures that access to your personal data is limited to personnel who are authorized to see it and have a legitimate reason to do so. We also safeguard your personal data with a high level of security and takes appropriate technical and organizational

security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, amendment, dissemination or destruction (such as privacy by design and default, access controls, encryption, logging, and monitoring). 

Sharing information with parties outside of Skanska

We may appoint external partners to perform tasks on our behalf, such as providing IT services or helping with marketing, administration of press releases, data analysis or statistics. The performance of these services may mean that our partners, both within and outside the EU/EEA, are able to gain access to your personal data. Companies that process personal data on our behalf must always sign a data processing agreement or the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission with us so that we are able to ensure a high level of protection of your personal data even with our partners. 

Special safeguards are taken with regards to partners outside the EU/EEA, such as performing transfer impact assessments to ensure the data is transferred to a country deemed to provide adequate level of protection.  

Skanska may also disclose your personal data to third parties, for example the police or other public authorities, if it concerns criminal investigations or if we are otherwise required to disclose such data by law or public authority decision. Skanska will not disclose your personal data to any extent other than described in this section.
