More about privacy for data obtained from the payroll and personnel system and the financial systems

Anyone with a role in the payroll and personnel system and the financial systems must have a conscious approach to how they process data related to the privacy of others. Guidelines for processing personal data from the payroll and personnel system and the financial systems (in Norwegian) have therefore been prepared.

Here are some of the most important points:​​​​​

  • Use the pullprint solution where available. In this way, printouts with potentially sensitive information will not remain in the copy room. You also save the environment.
  • Lock up documents containing personal data – don't leave them on your desk when you go home.
  • Do not send your national identity number, bank information or other sensitive personal data in e-mails. Instead, use access-regulated areas in Vortex.
  • Use the employee number rather than the national identity number where possible.
  • Do not save documents in the home area or unencrypted USB memory. Use common areas where few others have access.
  • Always remember to lock or log off your PC when you leave it.
  • Your user ID in the systems is personal and must never be shared with others.
  • Keep your passwords secret.
