• LEGITIMATE INTEREST: With legitimate interest, we refer to our company’s need to process information for direct marketing of our products and services, as well as business management and development. E.g., for product and service development, customer service and business reporting.

When using a legitimate interest, we carefully evaluate the benefits of the processing and the possible disadvantages for the processed. The person being processed has the right to object to processing based on a legitimate interest.

Services requested and used by the data subject and their payment information.
Information of people who have served the data subject. Other wishes or notes concerning professionals, services, operational units and other matters.

Necessary data related to the use of authorisation and verification devices and services.
Information related to data processing such as the date the data was saved and the data source.

7. Storage period of personal data

The company will store the personal data in its customer register until the customer relationship between the data subject and Controller’s can be considered having ended. The end date is determined by the data subject’s last service contact or contact request, plus eight years.

Due to legal obligations, some data may have to be stored longer than this. Data can be erased upon the customer’s request or if the customer relationship is ended.

8. Regular data sources

The customer’s basic data will be regularly saved from training registrations, phone calls or other notifications made by the customer to the controller during the customer relationship. Name and address data and information about the data subject’s death will be received by the actions of the customers and their communities. Direct marketing prohibition and the prohibition to record purchase information will be recorded based on separate notifications made by the customer to the controller.
Personal data can also be collected and updated from publicly available data sources, such as company websites and through service providers (e.g., Suomen Asiakastieto Oy) and through public and private registers.

9. Transfers and transfers of information within the group

The service provider and its affiliated companies have the right to use and disclose the information in the personal data register for legitimate purposes (such as direct marketing, sales and market research) in accordance with data protection legislation. Data subjects have the right to object to the disclosure and processing of their data for marketing, sales and direct marketing purposes by notifying the controller.

The disclosure of personal data is based on a legitimate interest (Data protection regulation 6 art.) to conduct business and manage customer relationships effectively.

10. Regular data disclosure and data transfer outside EU or European Economic Area

Controller’s can disclose customer data to the extent allowed by the valid legislation. Controller’s can use subcontractors for data processing. Data will not be transferred outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, unless this is necessary in order to provide the service. In such cases, Controller’s will continue to ensure sufficient level of data protection as required by the law, for example by utilising the EU’s model clauses about data transfers to third countries. Controller’s can disclose its customers’ contact information for the use of studies ordered by the Controllers.

11. Register protection

Controller’s follows a strictly regulated confidentiality obligation. Information concerning an individual customer will only be reported due to a reporting obligation based on a law, for example upon the customer’s own request or due to a legal authority request.

Manual materials will be kept in locked facilities that only separately authorised people can access.

Digital materials can only be accessed with the personal login and password of an authorised employee or partner. There are different levels of user licences, and each user will be granted a sufficient licence for managing their work, but these rights will be kept as limited as possible. The system is protected with a firewall and other technical measures that secure system contacts coming outside Controller’s.

12. Profiling

As a part of processing measures of the personal data saved in the customer register, Controller’s can also utilise the data for profiling purposes. Profiling is done by creating a customer ID for the data subject, which is then used to link together the various sets of data that are created in connection to using the service. As described above, the created profile can then be compared with profiles of other data subjects, for example.

The purpose of profiling is to review demand for the services and customer behaviour.

Recording camera surveillance

Register name

Recording camera surveillance system of MIF and Tieturi.

Personal data’s purpose of use

The personal data are used to protect the assets of MIF and Tieturi, prevent us from becoming the victims of a crime as well as for investigating crimes that have already occurred and incidents that have taken place in our locations or close by.

The processing is based on legitimate interest. Processing personal data is allowed when it is necessary for realising the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party. MIF and Tieturi considers data processing for the aforementioned purposes to be necessary to protect Controller’s assets and the employees’ personal safety, and the same interests cannot be achieved via other, lighter measures.

Register’s data sources

The register consists of time- and place-bound video recordings of a camera surveillance system. These comprise the register’s data content in its entirety. The camera surveillance system is in use in MIF and Tieturi’s office, in the yards and in the immediate vicinity at Keilaranta 1 A, 02150 ESPOO.

The personal data categories to be processed include the customers and employees of MIF and Tieturi. In addition to these categories, other building users are included in the personal data categories to be processed.

The data subjects will be informed of the recording camera surveillance at the locations with highly visible “recording camera surveillance” signs and/or stickers.

Data processors

The data can be processed by MIF and Tieturi’s employees whose job description includes the maintenance and development of the camera surveillance system or people whose assignments include handling criminal or damage investigations.

Data disclosure

Personal data are disclosed to the police and other authorities that have a legal right to process the camera recordings. Personal data will also be disclosed to authorities in situations where processing them is necessary in order to draft, submit or defend a legal claim. Furthermore, personal data will be disclosed to insurance companies for processing and solving insurance cases.

Personal data will not be disclosed outside the EU or EEA.

Register protection and data storage period

The register is saved in a password-protected camera surveillance system, which only authorised MIF and Tieturi’s people can access.

The data are saved in shared databases that are protected with firewalls, passwords or by other technical measures.

The camera recordings will be stored for two weeks counting from the moment of recording or as long as necessary for the personal data’s purpose of use when used for handling criminal or damage investigations.

The data subject’s other rights related to personal data processing

The data subject’s right to access the data (inspection right)

The data subject has the right to inspect the data concerning them that have been saved in MIF and Tieturi’s camera surveillance register. The inspection request must be submitted in accordance with this privacy policy. The inspection right can be declined based on legal grounds. Exercising one’s inspection right is principally free of charge.

The data subject’s right to demand the rectification or erasure of personal data or restrict the processing of personal data

The data subject also has the right to request the controller to restrict the processing of their personal data, for example while the data subject is waiting for MIF and Tieturi’s response to a request concerning the rectification or erasure of their data.

The data subject’s right to transfer data between systems

Primarily, the data subject has the right to receive their personal data in an organised, commonly used format that the data subject can use to transfer their data to the controller of another personal data register.

Due to the nature of the camera recordings, other people and their personal data may be included in the recordings. The data controller has the right to erase the possibility of identifying other people as well as their personal data from these data and files in a manner of their own choosing, and give the edited recordings to the data subject.

The police or other authorities may issue orders and prohibitions that prevent transferring the data to another system or disclosing them to the data subject, for example in connection to a criminal investigation.

The data subject’s right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority

The data subject has the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if the controller has not adhered to the applied data protection regulations.
