Someturva is the data controller under data protection legislation.

If you have any questions about the processing of personal data, we will be happy to help you.
Personal data means information about a person, such as you, from which the person can be directly or indirectly identified. The concept of personal data is very broad in law. In addition to your name or address, it can basically be any piece of information that makes it, either individually or by combining it with some other piece of information, possible to identify that the information concerns you.
We process information that is necessary to the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. The purpose determines what kind of information we process about individuals in different situations.
1. Communication and marketing

We use personal data for the purposes listed below. We only process data where there is a legal basis for doing so.
If the processing is based on our legitimate interest, we have ensured that your right to privacy is protected by assessing and weighing the legitimate interest using the balance test in accordance with the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman’s instructions. If you would like to have more information on the legitimate interest assessment and balancing test, please contact us.

You will mainly provide us with the personal data yourself, for example when you register for a training, subscribe to our newsletter, use our online shop or fill in our survey form.
In addition, we may collect names and contact information from public sources, such as organisations' websites, for marketing to businesses and communities and for communicating with stakeholders.

Information relating to purchase transactions and any cancellations will be stored as part of our company’s accounting records for the period defined in the Finnish Accounting Act, which is six years from the end of the calendar year in which the financial year ends.
The information necessary to handle feedback and complaints is kept for the time required to process the matter, which typically does not exceed two years.

At Someturva, your personal data will be handled only by persons who have a work-related need and the right to do so.
We may use subcontractors and service providers, for example, for technical maintenance, managing and analysing customer data or implementing various campaigns.

They may not use your information for any purposes other than the ones we have specified to carry out the purposes described above.
We process personal data primarily through operators and services located in EU or EEA countries. In some cases, service providers acting on our behalf may process personal data outside the European Economic Area, such as in the United States.
Where we use such services to process your data, we use accepted standard safeguards, such as the standard contractual clauses (SCC) adopted by the European Commission, whereby our service provider commits to appropriate data protection measures to safeguard your personal data.
We will not disclose your personal data to third parties. The only exceptions are:
We have appropriate technical, administrative and physical security measures in place to protect your personal data from destruction, loss, misuse and unauthorised access.
We restrict access to personal data only to the appointed employees and persons contracted to us who have an essential work-related need and the right to handle the personal data in question and to the service providers who can process the data only in accordance with our instructions. We require our subcontractors to process personal data with confidentiality and to ensure the adequate level of security to protect personal data. All persons who have access to personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations.
We continuously implement data protection and information security, for example by training our staff and regularly reviewing our compliance with data protection legislation and good data security practices.

You can withdraw your consent or opt-out of the use of your data by clicking the "unsubscribe" button in newsletters and marketing communications.
