  1. Legal basis and purpose of personal data processing

According to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, the legal basis for processing personal data is the person’s unequivocal consent and the legitimate interest of the data controller formed by the customer relationship.

The purpose of personal data processing is customer relationship maintenance and marketing. Personal data is used for direct advertising, distance selling or other direct marketing, opinion or market research, or other similar addressed mailings of the controller and the companies belonging to the same group as well as its associated companies and partners.

The controller does not use personal data for automated decision-making.

In principle, the controller keeps the customer’s personal data until the customer requests the deletion of the data. In certain cases, the controller can delete customer data that has been inactive for a long time.

  1. Regular sources of information

The information to be recorded in the register is obtained from the customer himself via web forms, by e-mail, by phone, through social media services, from contracts and other situations where the customer discloses his information.

  1. Regular transfers of information

The registrar can hand over the customer’s personal data for justified purposes, in accordance with valid personal data legislation. In order for the service to be implemented, the data content of the register (section 5.) must be able to be handed over to the controller’s partners, such as payment providers and The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom. In order to use the service, the customer must agree to the disclosure of the data.

The controller also hands over personal data to companies that the controller uses for e-mail and text message marketing. The companies in question are not allowed to use the data for anything other than the provision of the services they provide to the data controller.

The controller has the right to hand over personal data to the authorities in the event that the law, the interest of the controller or a third party so requires.

In the event of a change of ownership of the service, the information can be handed over to the new owner.

Information may be disclosed to third parties in such a form that individual users cannot be identified. In this case, it is not personal data.

  1. Data transfer outside the EU or EEA

Data can also be transferred by the controller outside the EU or EEA.

The controller uses the MailChimp e-mail service in its electronic marketing, in which case personal data is transferred outside the European Union to the USA. The USA is on the European Commission’s list of countries that guarantee an adequate level of data protection. The company is not allowed to use the data for anything other than the provision of the services it provides to the data controller.

  1. Principles of registry protection

Care is taken when processing the register and the information processed with the help of information systems is properly protected. Register data is stored on Internet servers and the physical and digital data security of their hardware is taken care of accordingly. The registrar ensures that stored data as well as server access rights and other data critical to the security of personal data are handled confidentially and only by those employees whose job description it is.

The register does not contain manual material.

  1. The right of inspection and the right to demand correction of information

Every person in the register has the right to check their information stored in the register and demand the correction of any incorrect information or the completion of incomplete information. If a person wants to check the information stored about him or demand correction, the request must be sent in writing to the controller. If necessary, the registrar can ask the requester to prove his identity. The controller responds to the customer within the time stipulated in the EU data protection regulation (generally within a month).

  1. Other rights related to the processing of personal data

A person in the register has the right to request the removal of personal data about him from the register (“the right to be forgotten”). Those registered also have other rights according to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, such as limiting the processing of personal data in certain situations. Requests must be sent in writing to the controller. If necessary, the registrar can ask the requester to prove his identity. The controller responds to the customer within the time stipulated in the EU data protection regulation (generally within a month).
