I overstayed by 12 days in Sweden. The last time I applied for a short-term Schengen visa it was denied because of the overstay. How can I find my personal data in the Schengen information system about my penalty?

2Note that even if there is no "ban" in the system, any new visa decision will take your history into account.– o.m.Commented Aug 27, 2017 at 17:45

You can submit an access request to Sweden (if they were the ones who recorded your overstay). Also, which member state gave you a refusal?– Gayot FowCommented Aug 28, 2017 at 4:48

As was noted by @GayotFow, you can make an Subject Access Request to Sweden and/or to the country which refused your visa application (should it be other than Sweden).
The Schengen Information System Guide for Exercising the Right of Access provides the contact details for Sweden, at page 62 (as well as the other Member States):
Requests for access must be made to the National Police Board (Rikspolisstyrelsen), which is the authority responsible for the Swedish unit of the Schengen Information System.
