Safety and Privacy Policy

Player Safety

The regulations of the Swedish Bandy Association clearly stipulate safety distances between the ice surface and fixed objects in the arena to minimize the risk of injury. Serwenthallen complies with these regulations with a wide margin:

Side lines: The Association requires at least 1 meter of ice surface and 1 meter of anti-slip protection before fixed objects. We have chosen to exceed these requirements to further enhance safety.

Behind the goal line: The regulations require 4 meters of ice surface and 3 meters of anti-slip protection. Here too, Serwenthallen provides greater safety distances than required.

To further protect players, all pillars behind the goal line are covered with both tires and soft protective padding, reducing the risk of injury in the event of collisions. Along the side lines, all edges – including those on the players’ benches – are covered with semi-rigid or soft protection, even though the benches are already located well beyond the recommended safety distances.

Fire Safety

Serwenthallen is equipped with modern fire safety and voice evacuation systems to ensure the safety of all visitors:

Fire alarm: The arena is fitted with an advanced fire alarm system.

Voice evacuation system: In the event of an emergency, a voice evacuation system is activated in both Swedish and English, providing clear instructions to all visitors.

Emergency exits: There are 11 emergency exits as well as a large gate to enable quick and safe evacuation. With a maximum capacity of 1,000 visitors and an open layout, the level of fire safety is considered very high.

Fire extinguishers: Fire extinguishers are available at each emergency exit and are easily accessible if needed.

Media & Camera Coverage
The bandy match is subject to media and camera coverage, which may involve the collection of personal data in the form of still images, video footage and audio recordings. The material may be used by press, TV and other media or on social networks. The arena’s internal and local production may also include appearances on the media cube, TV screens and social platforms.

Privacy Policy

Data Controller
The Swedish Bandy Association (org. no. 818500-2733) is the data controller for your personal data.

What personal data is collected
The event is equipped with surveillance cameras that record images, never audio. To the extent that a person in the footage can be identified, the recording constitutes personal data. The purpose of the camera surveillance is to prevent, detect and investigate crime, monitor visitor flow, and prevent and investigate accidents. This is done to increase safety for our staff, visitors and others present at the event.

Legal basis
The legal basis for processing your personal data is that the processing is necessary for purposes related to our legitimate interests in preventing, deterring and investigating crime, handling lost property, and preventing and investigating accidents. This means that we consider our interest in conducting camera surveillance to be proportionate and reasonable in relation to the potential impact on you as an individual. In our assessment, we have taken into account how the cameras are positioned, that such surveillance is common practice at similar events, and that it complies with the Swedish Camera Surveillance Act (2018:1200).

Data retention
Recorded material is generally stored for a maximum of three days. If the material is relevant to a criminal investigation or the investigation of an accident, it will be deleted once the investigation has been completed and the material is no longer required for evidentiary purposes.

Sharing of personal data
We may share recorded material with the police in connection with criminal investigations. If we transfer your personal data to another company acting as a data processor on our behalf, we ensure that appropriate agreements are in place.

Your rights
You have the right to receive information about the local camera system and to request a copy of all personal data we process about you. You also have the right to request correction or deletion of personal data, as well as restriction of processing concerning you. To access or correct your personal data, or to exercise your rights, you can contact our security department responsible for handling personal data for this event. If you believe that your personal data has been processed incorrectly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).
