What is the goal of donating data?

Like donating blood and organs, donating data is a new way to share what belongs to yourself and at the same time contribute to something important to society.

As you know, every person with type 1 diabetes is unique. Hence, your data is as important as another person's data living with type 1 diabetes. Collecting large amounts of data from as many people as possible who have type 1 diabetes - increases the opportunities to come up with new innovative solutions and ideas that describe all of us.

By donating data you give yourself the best conditions for a healthier life and future.

How do I know if my data is managed right ?

Your data will be de-identified, meaning that all information that allows personal information to be linked to a specific person is deleted permanently.

( Name, Personal id, complete address, Telephone number, email address as well as IP  address  or other ID.s ) We ask you for the postage number but it will be converted to an DeSO kod – (Swedish Demografiska statistikområden).

This means that your data will be anonymized and can therefore be used for the hackathon to find patterns in datasets that might give valuable insights

The aim is to find a passable path where the usability of the data is good enough for the Hackathon, and at the same time, the data is safeguarded from an individual's perspective with the privacy protection to which she is entitled.
