Link to the agreement regarding joint data control

Link to the Data Processing Agreement

Under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), it is important to identify and clarify the roles of data controller, data processor, or joint controller, particularly when it comes to the processing of personal data.

It should be noted that the final determination of the scope of each service must be based on the specific agreement between Acture and the customer in question. The following is a general assessment based on the standard manner in which the services are provided and must be reviewed when the service is modified.

When evaluating Acture’s standard services, they can be categorized as follows:

Acture as the data controller

In this role, Acture determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

If the customer—typically the workplace—chooses to register employees with Acture via master data, this will constitute a transfer of personal data to Acture. This may, for example, include a list containing names, email addresses, phone numbers, departments, and other “tags” for the employees who are to receive the services. This transfer is not considered data processing on your behalf, but rather a transfer from you, as the data controller, to Acture, as the data controller, for the purpose of enabling us to create accurate user accounts for the employees to access the services you have ordered.

The legal basis for you as an employer will be Section 12(1) or (2) of the Data Protection Act, provided that you provide the benefits to employees as part of a collective agreement, or Article 6(1) of the GDPR(f) the “balancing of interests” rule, provided that you provide the services to employees as part of your workplace health and safety program.

Acture will then fulfill the obligation to provide information to the data subject (the employee) and ensure a valid legal basis for processing (most often consent).

The following services may fall under this category:

Health Check

At Acture, we offer health checkups designed to improve the lifestyle and health of your company’s employees.

A health checkup at Acture includes, among other things:

  • A health screening that includes questions about employees' health, well-being, and motivation.
  • Physiological measurements—including cholesterol, body fat percentage, blood sugar, fitness level, etc.
  • A motivational conversation focused on personal goals.
  • Follow-up via consultation and the health portal.
  • The company receives a detailed, anonymized report on average results.

Actures is the data controller, as Acture defines the questions in the health screening, and the health consultant, together with the employee, determines the next steps. Health information from health checkups for night workers is retained for 40 years in accordance with Danish Working Environment Authority Executive Order No. 1165.

Acture is responsible for the IT operations of DigiHealth, including the day-to-day operation and development of the solution, decisions regarding which personal data must be processed to ensure a positive user experience, privacy notices, obtaining consent where necessary, cybersecurity, and so on.

Psychological crisis support

Through our nationwide network of crisis psychologists, Acture provides assistance within 24 hours. Any employee may find themselves in a situation where they need professional help to cope with work-related or family issues.

The service is provided by Acture, which is responsible for selecting a licensed psychologist in accordance with the Psychologists Act.

Acture is the data controller for the processing that takes place up to the time of referral to the psychologist (the referral process), which occurs through direct contact between the individual employee and the crisis network of psychologists; thereafter, the individual psychologist is the data controller for the remainder of the treatment process, including record-keeping, cf. the Executive Order on the Duty of Licensed Psychologists to Maintain Orderly Records.

If the employer requests information, such as a report, it is obtained directly from the psychologist based on an agreement between the workplace and the employee.

Ergonomic Review

Acture ensures that physical working conditions are organized in a way that gives employees the best possible conditions to avoid pain and discomfort—and, in the worst-case scenario, long-term injuries. Our physical therapist will visit your workplace to demonstrate specific exercises, adjust workstations, and provide advice on healthy work and lifestyle habits. The session can also be conducted online, if preferred.

Acture is the data controller for the processing that takes place up until the time of referral to the physical therapist (the referral), after which the individual physical therapist is the data controller, as a licensed healthcare professional under the Authorization Act and makes decisions regarding which personal data is necessary to process, including any record-keeping, cf. the Record-Keeping Order.

Acture is responsible for the IT operations of DigiHealth, including the day-to-day operation and development of the solution, decisions regarding which personal data must be processed to ensure a positive user experience, privacy notices, obtaining consent where necessary, cybersecurity, and so on.

Online training

Acture offers skilled and energetic instructors who tailor the training to your company’s goals. They are trained to guide and adapt exercises online so that everyone can participate regardless of skill level, and they are dedicated to motivating all employees. The online training takes place via your preferred online communication platform—such as Teams or Zoom—and can be set up as either public links or an invitation in employees’ calendars.

Acture is the data controller, as it is Acture’s instructors who interact with the employees and determine which personal data needs to be processed to ensure a successful training program, taking into account each employee’s individual needs.

Acture's combination therapy consists of four elements:

Hands-on

Manual therapy. Joint manipulation, physiotherapy massage, acupuncture, kinesiology, etc.

In most cases, Acture’s data responsibility will be limited to the time when the process consultant begins the assignment. Prior to this, Acture will, as agreed with the client, disclose anonymized data in the form of APV or MTU (employee well-being survey) results.

Psychomotor therapy – Relaxation therapy

The primary form of treatment provided as part of Acture’s “Relaxation Treatment” program is psychomotor therapy. Psychomotor therapy is an evidence-based treatment approach that promotes better harmony between the body, mind, and health.

Relaxation Treatment should be viewed as a complement to other therapeutic treatments, such as physical therapy. The difference, however, is that employees do not necessarily need to be experiencing musculoskeletal pain to receive Relaxation Treatment. This may include employees who experience high stress levels or need to find calm through relaxation exercises. It may also include employees who experience physical challenges, such as muscle tension, recurring headaches, or heart palpitations.

Acture's practitioners decide which personal data is necessary to ensure effective therapy, and as a result, Acture becomes the data controller.

Acture is responsible for the IT operations of DigiHealth, including the day-to-day operation and development of the solution, decisions regarding which personal data must be processed to ensure a positive user experience, privacy notices, obtaining consent where necessary, cybersecurity, and so on.

Corporate Fitness

Acture offers Corporate Fitness, which includes solutions for all types of physical activity that can take place in the workplace—ranging from the setup and operation of new or existing fitness facilities to active breaks, personal training, group classes, and more.

They are trained to guide participants and adapt exercises so that everyone can participate, regardless of their fitness level, and they are fully committed to motivating all employees.

Acture as a data processor

In this role, Acture processes personal data solely on behalf of a data controller, who determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

In this situation, the customer—typically the workplace—will enter into a data processing agreement with Acture that includes precise instructions regarding the data processing to be performed. The customer will be responsible for ensuring a clear legal basis for the processing and will also bear the majority of the obligations under the GDPR.

Generally speaking, Acture’s services do not fall into this category, but specific agreements with you may result in us acting as a data processor, in which case we will enter into a data processing agreement with you.

Acture and the customer share joint responsibility for the data

In this role, both the data controller and the data processor share responsibility for certain aspects of data processing. An agreement on joint data control is entered into based on the template provided by the Danish Data Protection Agency, in which responsibilities are allocated.

The following services may fall under this category:

Workplace Assessment

The basis for the processing of personal data is a comprehensive solution in which Acture has designed the questionnaire and thus determines which personal data is to be processed and for what purposes the data is collected—for example, overall quality assurance of the APV survey.

Since the client participates in decisions regarding the customization of questions—including whether to modify the questionnaire framework and whether to add additional questions to meet any CSR requirements (e.g., diversity in hiring and workplace well-being)—this will generally be a shared responsibility between Acture and the client.

Acture is responsible for the IT operations of the DigiHealth system, including the day-to-day operation and development of the solution, decisions regarding which personal data must be processed to ensure a positive user experience, privacy notices, obtaining consent where necessary, cybersecurity, and so on.

In some cases, an alternative IT system called Enalyzer may be used. Enalyzer is used by agreement with the customer in cases where DigiHealth is not compatible with the customer’s needs.

Employee Satisfaction Survey

A well-being survey will typically be based on Acture’s standard questionnaire, which Acture uses to define what personal data will be processed and for what purpose. Since the client will assist with customizing or adding questions, the starting point will be joint data control between Acture and the client.
