Access to personal data is limited to individuals with unique user identities who need the information in order to carry out their assigned tasks at work.

      Why does the Foundation need to process your personal data?

        The Foundation exists in order to be able to provide benefits and services for co-workers employed by companies in the Ingka Group and the Inter Group, as well as for family members of those employees and for former employees who are now retired. The personal data that you share with the Foundation is used to provide benefits and services, administer your gym card, facilitate bookings for events and food, as well as offering other benefits such as the hiring of equipment and the booking of other facilities.

        How does the Foundation use your personal data?

          The Foundation registers and processes your personal data solely in order to be able to offer and maintain the services that you have required.

            What personal data does the Foundation collect?

            When you make use of the Foundation’s services, the Foundation registers personal data such as your full name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, personal identity number and also, in certain instances, your photo (for example, in connection with an application for a gym card).

            The legal basis on which the Foundation processes your personal data

              The legal basis on which the Foundation is entitled to process your personal data is your employment agreement or an agreement relating to membership in the IKEA Veterans Club (Vuxenklubben), or a justifiable interest in processing data relating to other family members who use the services of the Foundation.

              How the Foundation shares your personal data

                The Foundation shares your personal data only with your employer if you are employed by IKEA or Inter, or when the Foundation is otherwise legally required to do so. The Foundation may, in some instances, use suppliers as personal data processing representatives when sending mail or when using IT systems, shipping and logistics companies, banks and credit card companies. In such cases, the Foundation has entered into a Personal Data Processing Agreement to ensure that safe and secure measures are in place to protect your data. When the Foundation shares your personal data, this information will be used for the same purposes for which the Foundation originally collected it. Sharing this information will not involve transferring your personal data to a country outside the EU/EEA.

                Storage and deletion of data

                  The Foundation stores your personal data for as long as the information is required in order to meet the purpose for which the data was originally collected. Personal data may also be stored for the length of time required to comply with existing legal requirements. The Foundation has routines in place to regularly check that the Foundation is not storing unnecessary personal data.

                  – Information from CCTV security cameras is deleted 60 days after it has been registered.

                  – Information about an employee and his/her family members is always deleted (unless otherwise stated) no later than 6 months after termination of employment.

                  – Information relating to a member of the IKEA Veterans Club (Vuxenklubben) is deleted no later than 6 months after notification has been received that the individual’s membership in the club has expired.
