Transfers of personal data to third countries

Personal data may be transferred outside the EU and the European Economic Area.

Personal data protection

The controller processes personal data in a manner that aims to ensure appropriate security of personal data, including protection against unauthorized processing and accidental loss, destruction or damage.

The controller uses appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to ensure this goal, including the use of firewalls, encryption technologies and secure hardware environments, appropriate access control, careful management of user IDs for information systems, and instruction of personnel involved in the processing of personal data.

All employees who process personal data are subject to a duty of confidentiality regarding matters related to the processing of registered personal data, based on the Employment Contracts Act (55/2001) and the supplementary confidentiality agreements.

Data retention period

The controller will process personal data for as long as necessary. However, no more than 36 months have passed since the last registered activity on the part of the customer. After this period, the controller will delete or anonymize the data within 2 weeks in accordance with its deletion processes.

The controller may be obliged to process some of the personal data in the register for a longer period than stated above in order to comply with legislation or official requirements.

Profiling

Personal data is used for profiling and other automated decision-making.

Data subject rights

Right to access personal data

The data subject has the right to obtain confirmation as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed, and if so, the right to obtain a copy of his or her personal data.

Right to rectification of data

The data subject has the right to request that inaccurate and incorrect personal data concerning him or her be corrected. The data subject also has the right to have incomplete personal data completed by providing the necessary additional information.

Right to erasure of data

The data subject has the right to request the deletion of personal data concerning him/her if:

a. the personal data are no longer needed for the purposes for which they were collected;

b. the data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing of the personal data was based and there is no other legal basis for the processing; or

c. personal data has been processed unlawfully.

Right to restriction of processing

The data subject has the right to restrict the processing of personal data concerning him or her if:

a. the data subject disputes the accuracy of his or her personal data;

b. the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of his or her personal data and instead requests the restriction of their use; or

c. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the original purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to object

The data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular personal situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

The controller may no longer process the personal data of the data subject unless the controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or if it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing, including profiling when it is related to such direct marketing.

Right to withdraw consent

The data subject has the right to withdraw their consent to processing at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out based on consent before this.

The right to transfer data from one system to another

The data subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and the right to transfer that data to another controller.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

The national supervisory authority for personal data is the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman, which operates under the Ministry of Justice. You have the right to refer your matter to the supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the relevant legislation.

Changing privacy policies

The controller is constantly developing its operations and may therefore need to change and update its data protection practices as necessary. Changes may also be based on changes in data protection legislation.

If the changes include new purposes for processing personal data or otherwise change significantly, the controller will notify you in advance and, if necessary, request consent.
