    Certification of users

    All users working with data in one of Statistics Denmark’s microdata schemes must achieve certification. The certification ensures that everybody knows the data security rules under Statistics Denmark’s microdata schemes and feels safe using and transferring data. To ensure continued high focus on the data security rules, all users must subsequently achieve re-certification once a year.,  , Certification in practice, In practice, the certification takes place via DDP App, where you must pass a test with questions on the data security rules described in , Denmark's Data Portal's data security rules under the microdata schemes (pdf), . It is a good idea to read the rules before you start. You have three attempts per day to pass., See the video guide for user certification (in Danish), This is how you do it:, Log into DDP App with your three/four-character ident and password., On your landing page, select the window ‘Learning and certification’. , Then select the tab ‘Certifications’. If it does not drop down automatically, click the small blue arrow., Answer the certification questions by clicking ‘Start certification’ and ‘OK’ in the info box that pops up., Answer the questions by clicking the option you believe to be correct., When you have answered all the questions, you click the button ‘Submit answer’, which has turned blue meanwhile., If you answer all ten questions correctly, you have passed the certification and you are considered able to handle data in accordance with our data security rules., Under ’Result’, your status will be indicated as ’Passed’, and a green info box appears with the text ’Congratulations, you have passed’., Under ’Resultat’ vil din status figurere som ’Bestået’, og der vises en grøn infoboks med teksten ’Tillykke, du har bestået’. , If you do not answer all ten questions correctly, you can see under ’Result’ how many questions you answered incorrectly in your attempt and how many remaining attempts you have. Furthermore, a red info box appears with the text ‘Sorry, you have not passed’., a) If you have more attempts left and want to re-take the test, press ’Certification front page’ and start over. Note that you have three attempts per day and that the questions change from time to time. Consider re-visiting the data security rules, before you try again., b) If you do not have any attempts left, your access to your projects will be locked for 24 hours. The small watch icon indicates when the 24 hours are up. After that, you can take the test again., The certification questions, The test contains questions about the data security rules (, data security rules under the microdata schemes (pdf), ). Since Statistics Denmark’s data security rules may differ from the practice in other institutions, it is important to read and know the rules under the microdata schemes. Knowing the rules is also the basis for answering the ten certification questions correctly. , Read more about the data security rules under Rules on transfer of analysis results , The questions are about access to researcher machines, pseudonymisation, transfer rules and working in general with data. Below you will find an example of a question that you can encounter in the certification test:, Question 1:, You have collected a survey that you are working on locally. You have registered the survey with the Danish Data Protection Agency, so the permits are in place. You have also sent the survey to Statistics Denmark to have the option of linking the survey with register data on the researcher server. Which is the correct statement?, Reply options:, a. You are allowed to download/transfer microdata from the survey that you have uploaded yourself., b. The only microdata you are not allowed to transfer, is microdata provided by Statistics Denmark to your project., c. Retrieval of microdata is never allowed regardless of data source.

    Access to business data

    Business data refers to data on Danish enterprises and Danish trade and industry. This page gives an overview of who can get access to business data from Statistics Denmark and the possibilities to apply for an exemption to get access. , Business data and business data with limited access, Business data from Statistics Denmark covers a wide range of data on industries and data on the size, location, accounts, employment, development over time, etc. of Danish enterprises. Some types of business data involve competition- and market-sensitive information, which is why access is limited. For example when data concerns the activities or financial affairs of enterprises., See the overview of business data with limited access in Statistics Denmark (Excel, in Danish) , Note, : To protect competition- or market-sensitive information, business data with limited access is not available until at least one year after the reference year., Business data – who has access?, A person can get access to all (pseudonymised) business data in Statistics Denmark, including business data with limited access, if that person has an approved association agreement with a Danish institution that is authorised under Statistics Denmark’s Research scheme and that is , a Danish public institution, or , a private Danish institution in the category “interest organisation, think tank, etc.”, ‘Danish institution’ means an institution within the national community of Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. You can find the special rules for Greenland and the Faroe Islands under , Authorisation of institutions, ., Business data with limited access – who does not have access?, Generally, people employed in Danish private consultancies may not get access to business data with limited access., People employed by other Danish or foreign private companies (such as banks, pension funds and insurance companies) or by foreign consultancy firms are not permitted to access business data with restricted access., Business data with limited access – who can apply for an exemption? , In connection with specific projects, Danish private consultancies that do not have access in general to business data with limited access can apply for an exemption. This is only an option if:   , the data controller institution for the project is a public, Danish and authorised institution (see “a” above) or , the data controller institution for the project is a private and Danish institution in the category “interest organisation, think tank, etc.” (see “b” above) or, the data controller institution for the project is a public, Danish institution and an institution authorised as a client, which engages a private consultancy to perform an analysis for the institution for which business data with limited access is needed and the consultancy’s authorisation does not grant access to this data. , Read more under Authorisation of institutions, Apply for an exemption , If you are eligible to apply for an exemption (and thus comply with item 1, 2 or 3 above) and want to apply, please inform the project owner in Statistics Denmark early in the project proposal process. This ensures that the project owner can take this into consideration during the approval of the project proposal.  , Furthermore, you need to complete the request template from Statistics Denmark and send it to your project owner, when the project for which you are applying for business data with limited access has been approved., Template for request for exemption for business data with limited access (docx, template only available in Danish), Note, : The request template must be adjusted with your own official business stationery design, signed and sent (in Word or PDF format). If you need help filling in the template, for example purpose and description, you can consult Statistics Denmark’s guide on , how to create a project proposal, . , Request for exemption – how does it work?, For every request for exemption, Statistics Denmark makes a thorough assessment in four steps: , When the project proposal has been approved, the data controller institution completes a request template, adapt it with their own official business stationery design, sign it and send it to the project owner in Denmark’s Data Portal., The project owner in Denmark’s Data Portal assesses if there are grounds for an exemption. Note: The criteria for approval are the same as for a project proposal. , Read more in How to create a project proposal, The project owner in Denmark’s Data Portal sends the request for exemption for approval by the Director General of Statistics Denmark., When the request for exemption has been approved, the approval is returned to the data controller institution and the consultancy charged with the task., If you have questions about exemption, please contact , danmarksdatavindue@dst.dk, or your project owner in Denmark’s Data Portal.

    Population description

    In the project proposal, you must describe the population shortly and precisely (without technical terms, details or data specifications), and document who creates the population. You do so under the population description in the DDP App. , Private institutions are able to create the population themselves and get a full register extraction if the project is surveying a major group of entities. To get a full register extraction, private institutions must give reasons for this need based on the size of the population. ,  , When Denmark’s Data Portal must create the population, If Denmark’s Data Portal is going to create the population for your project, this is done on the basis of a framework agreement. Under the population description in the DDP App, you describe the population shortly and precisely (without involving technical details) and add that Statistics Denmark is going to create the population. When Denmark’s Data Portal have received the project proposal, they will contact you about the creation of the population. , Examples of population descriptions:, `The population consists of all persons who have been hospitalised with asthma, which is matched with five controls on sex and birth year per case. The controls must be alive and be residing in Denmark on the index data of the case. Statistics Denmark creates the population.', `The population consists of persons who have had residence permits as refugees, and family members reunited with refugees. Statistics Denmark creates the population.', Framework agreement for extraction description and population creation , Denmark’s Data Portal prepares a framework agreement, which covers counselling regarding the extraction description as well as the subsequent population creation. Based on the framework agreement, we prepare a detailed extraction description in collaboration with the relevant institution. Denmark’s Data Portal uses the extraction description for the final population creation. Based on the institution's criteria and needs regarding the population, we give advice on which registers, variables and variable values that are necessary to create the wanted population. The final extraction description is attached as an appendix to the project proposal. When the extraction description is ready, Denmark’s Data Portal creates the population for the project., How to make the extraction description for the population?, The following elements must be uncovered for the extraction description:, Registers or additional data to be used , Periods, including if you want to use registers that are updated annually, quarterly or monthly (for example, BEF (population) is updated quarterly), Conditions based on specific variables and delimitation on specific variable values (for example, if the population must be delimited by age from 15-76 years), How registers must be linked (if several registers are applied), including linking based on specific variables and, if relevant, key register,  , Especially about case control populations , Denmark’s Data Portal uses the term 'case control populations' for analyses where cases (e.g. exposed) are compared with a reference group (controls). The term is used regardless of the type of study. Under the population description in the DDP App, enter a short and precise description of the criteria for cases and controls in the case control population, without involving technical details (including registers and variables). , In collaboration with Denmark’s Data Portal, a detailed extraction description of the case control population is prepared. The final extraction description is attached as an appendix to the project proposal. Please note that the DDP App only creates case control populations based on date and register criteria, not based on more complicated statistical methods such as for example Propensity Score Matching., How to make the extraction description for the case control population?, The following elements must be uncovered for the extraction description: , What characterises cases:, Registers, periods, conditions, and how registers are linked (see description below), If relevant, index date (for example date of first completed vocational education, first hospital discharge date), What characterises the pool of possible controls:, Registers to be used for creating the pool of possible controls, Inclusion and exclusion criteria based on specific variables and variable values (for example sex = 2 (women), municipality = 607 (Fredericia), residence in the period 01-01-2020 until 31-12-2023), Specific criteria for the case control population including:, How many controls are extracted per case?, Whether cases are allowed to be controls of other cases, If controls are allowed to change status in the inclusion period, Extraction with or without replacement: , is a control allowed to be used as a control for more than one case (replacement)?, or can a control only be a control for a specific case (without replacement)?
