About Eventor
What is Eventor?
Eventor is the Swedish Orienteering Federation's central IT system, which handles event calendar, entries, results and reporting. The system is constantly updated with new functionality.
Terms and Conditions
Orienteering consists of four disciplines – orienteering (traditional orienteering), ski orienteering, mountain bike orienteering and trail orienteering. A club, which is a member of the Swedish Orienteering Federation (SOFT), is entitled to use Eventor for events and activities that are included in any of the four disciplines. The category events includes international events, championships, national events, district events, club events and local events (“närtävlingar”). The category club activities includes, for example, entries for trainings, camps and club trips.
Eventor may not, without the approval of SOFT, be used for events and activities that are not included in any of the four disciplines.
For international events in Sweden, World Ranking Events (WRE) excluded, special conditions will be handled in a certain contract between SOFT and the organiser.
SOFT provides support for championships, national events and district events. For club events, local events and club activities, limited support is given.
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation applicable in EU Member States as of May 25, 2018.
The aim is to protect your privacy and provide you with better Internet protection. This means that personal data should be processed legally, correctly and transparently in relation to the person being registered. For the sports movement in Sweden, it means that each type of data process should be based on a valid legal basis, such as an agreement or the task of public interest.
How is Eventor affected?
For Eventor, GDPR means the following:
- Purpose Limitation, Data Minimization and Transparency of Information
- That the information retrieved to Eventor from IdrottOnline is only stored and otherwise processed for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes, and later not otherwise processed in any other way. The information should also be reasonable, relevant and not unnecessarily detailed in relation to its purpose.
In section "Transparency of stored personal data" below, there is a list of what personal data is being stored in Eventor, why they are stored, and who has access to it. The information can also be accessed via a link from My Pages. - That the information provided by Eventor to external event-related services and systems is only processed by these systems for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes, and later not otherwise processed in any other way. Here, a so-called PUB agreement (personal data agreement) is signed between SOFT and providers of the external services and systems that access the Eventor information.
- That the information retrieved to Eventor from IdrottOnline is only stored and otherwise processed for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes, and later not otherwise processed in any other way. The information should also be reasonable, relevant and not unnecessarily detailed in relation to its purpose.
- Development and update of features
- Eventor contains a log system to track changes made by administrators and entry managers to better protect you as an individual.
- Eventor ends with the so-called club login, for example, to be able to track who made an entry for another person in order to better protect you as an individual.
- Eventor no longer allows the home address to be included in the personal file that is shared with external timing programs (OLA, MeOS, SportSoftware etc.).
- Eventor contains a system to easily identify and delete users who have been inactive in Eventor for 24 months.
- Storage Limitation
- You may request that your personal information is to be unidentified in Eventor. In section "The right to be removed from Eventor" below, you will find information on how to proceed. Inactive users are deleted after 24 months, see point above.
For you as a club
We do not see that you as a club need to take any action in Eventor or other event-related systems with regard to GDPR. However, as a club, you can still be affected by what information is now available and how it may be managed by you as a club.

Transparency of stored personal data
Roles in Eventor and access to personal data
The following table shows who or who has access to your personal information. In addition to yourself, three administrator roles can also access many of your personal data. These three roles are administrator, organiser and entry manager. The administrator can do all the other two roles can do. For the sake of simplicity, all these three roles are referred to as "Administrators" below.
Stored personal data retrieved from IdrottOnline
For member in a SOFT joined club, Eventor retrieves personal and organizational information from IdrottOnline, which is the Sport Federation's management and communication tool.

Accuracy
Personal data processed in the sports movement in Sweden must be accurate and updated, if necessary. This means that the person handling personal information should take reasonable steps to ensure that incorrect personal data is deleted or corrected without delay, for example, when you as a registered person request correction of incorrect personal data.
Incorrect Personal Information
Because Eventor retrieves your personal information from IdrottOnline, this is where you need to change the information if something is incorrect.
Enter your personal page on your club's IdrottOnline website. Log in via the padlock on the top right of the page by entering the same username and password as in Eventor. Then click on your name in the top right and in the box that appears, on the "My Page" link. Please note that it may take up to 24 hours for the changes to take effect in Eventor.
Incorrect data in entry, start or results list
Because all handling of event-related data is made by the current organiser, this is where you turn when something needs to be corrected. The organiser then uploads the information again to Eventor.
Integrity and Privacy
Consent to publish your name
According to the SOFT event rules and regulations, with your event entry you agree to your name being stored in event documentation, such as entry lists, startlists, and results lists, as well as publicity on the Internet and in other media. You also agree that any GPS tracking will be published.
Consent that administrators and entry managers can view and manage your personal data
Because your federation and club should be able to:
- Provide support for entries and managing your data
- Get in touch with you, both before activities, but also during activities
- Manage your events entries, such as youth events and relays
... you, as a member of your club, agree to that administrators in the federations your association belong to, your own club administrator (may be several), as well as your entry manager, are able to view and manage your personal information.
Eventor saves log information about all changes made in the system to claim abuse.
Consent to receive SOFT information and offers from SOFT sponsors and partners
On My Pages >> Personal Settings >> Information, enter your consent to receive SOFT information and offers from SOFT:s sponsors and partners. No sponsorship offers or promotional items will be sent without your consent.
Despite the consent of receiving SOFT sponsors and partners, SOFT never shares your personal information with sponsors, partners, or other third parties. All contacts and all mailings are handled by SOFT.
SOFT never shares your personal information with sponsors, partners, or any third party without your consent.
Social security number, username and password
Social security number for member in SOFT-connected club
For members of a SOFT-connected club, the social security number in IdrottOnline is used only once and for identifying a member. The social security number is then replaced with a unique so-called idrotts-ID, i.e. Eventor never retreives the social secuiry number from IdrottOnline. However, Eventor stores your last successful login so you can log in to Eventor even when IdrottOnline is not working, and then, if you have filled in your social security number as username it will be stored together with a so-called hashed password in Eventor.
The decision on identification by social security number is taken by the sports federation (RF) who is responsible for IdrottOnline. Read more about why in the FAQ question here.
Social security number for Swedish citizens who are not members in a SOFT-connected club
For Swedish citizens who are not members of a SOFT-connected club, but registered in Eventor, the social security number is stored. The purpose is to avoid duplicates in the system, but above all, in order to easily handle later requests for membership in an SOFT-connected club in a simple and correct manner.
Data shared to timekeeping programs (OLA, MeOS, SportSoftware etc.)
Only necessary information about you is included in the so called personal register file, used by timekeeping programs, to organise and administer an orienteering event. This means, among other things, that your information will automatically appear in the timekeeping program on the event when you make an entry with your electronic card for an open class.
Data shared to other external services and systems
All information provided by Eventor to external event-related services and systems is only processed by these systems for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes, and will not be processed later in a different manner. Here, a so-called PUB agreement (personal data agreement) will be signed by SOFT and the suppliers of the external services and systems that, through a so-called API, can access Eventor's information.
Some of your personal data is also accessible to your club via an API:
First name, last name, date of birth, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, postcode, preset classes, and IOF ID.
The right to be removed from Eventor
You can always get your personal information removed from Eventor.
- If you are a club member, contact your club administrator and ask to no longer be set as active in orienteering in IdrottOnline. Your Eventor user will then expire within 24 hours.
- If you are not a club member, please contact the Eventor support at eventorsupport@orientering.se to make you user expire within one week.
After 24 months, the information is deleted.
