Effective Date: 17 October 2017
Protecting the integrity of your data, whether about you, your company, your transactions, your products or your service, is our highest priority. The commitment to keep your personal data confidential and secure at all times and the personal data processing practices in our business activities are explained below. Your personal data is processed in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
When you are representing our customer or vendor company and engaged with us (e.g. using or buying the products or services, or selling products or services to us) (“Business Activity”), this Contact Data Protection Statement ("Statement") is intended to provide you with general information on the processing of your personal data ("Contact Data").
We arrange and process the Contact Data we collect in two data files, one for our customer contacts and another for our vendor contacts. Additional and more detailed data protection information applicable to each of these data files and Contact Data processed in the context of them is available in:
- Customer Contact Data Protection Description; and
- Vendor Contact Data Protection Description (each "Description", further references to this Statement below include also the contents of the relevant Description or both Descriptions unless otherwise stated case by case).
In case of possible discrepancy, the information provided in the relevant Description prevails over the information presented in this Statement.
Please read this Statement carefully prior to accessing or participating in any Business Activity. By accessing or participating in the Business Activity and/or submitting (directly or indirectly) your Contact Data in connection with the Business Activity, you express your understanding to the processing of your Contact Data in the manner provided in this Statement. Otherwise, we expect you will immediately discontinue accessing or participating in the Business Activity, and you will not provide or will cease to provide your Contact Data to us. However, please note that absence of your Contact Data might fully or partially prevent us from fulfilling or executing the Business Activity.
Our Data Collection Methods
Accessing or participating in some Business Activities may require you to register personally for a user account in which you will need to provide us with certain basic Contact Data. Depending on the Business Activity, it is also possible that all or certain Contact Data is collected interactively from you (e.g. in a sales meeting or by phone) without subjecting you to any computerized data collection method.
In addition to collecting Contact Data from you personally, we may collect your Contact Data from your employer (or your colleagues or superiors) or from our own employees and other persons providing services for us.
Furthermore, in the course of your participation in any Business Activity electronically, we may automatically track certain Contact Data concerning you, such as IP address, the source of visit and type of your web browser even prior to explicitly requesting any of your Contact Data.Kerättävät ja käsiteltävät tiedot
The Data We Collect and Process
Basic Contact Data consists typically of your name, email address, street address, country of residence, telephone number and the name of your employing company (if applicable).
In addition, we may collect other types of Contact Data that are necessary for the Business Activity in question. Detailed information concerning the types and processing of Contact Data is available in the relevant Description.
Generally, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, we retain your Contact Data at most ten (10) years after the last Business Activity where you have been involved. Additionally, as the case may require, we may have to extend Contact Data retention on the grounds of establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or execution of our internal investigations. This retention period is justified due to our obligations or needs related to e.g. product and service warranties, product liability statutes as well as burdens of proofs in possible litigation situations.
The Purposes of Data Collection and Processing
The primary purpose of collecting and processing your Contact Data is to make the Business Activity and related products and services available for you. Additionally, among other defined processing purposes, we may use your Contact Data to communicate with you. For instance, we may provide additional information relating to our products and/or services or other similar topics. The information may contain advertising in the form of electronic direct marketing or otherwise. If direct marketing is included in the Business Activity, we take into account related special safeguard requirements, including consistently providing you with the option to unsubscribe from our marketing activities. We may also use your Contact Data for research and development purposes such as improving and developing our IT systems and business processes. All detailed purposes of processing of your Contact Data are available in the relevant Description.
At all times and independent of any single purpose of processing we strive for efficient and secure Contact Data processing. This includes continued development of the Business Activities to ensure high quality and a broader scope and availability of our products and services.
Lawfulness of Processing of Contact Data
Processing of your Contact Data is generally and primarily based on legitimate interest of the data controllers. Based on defined purposes of uses of Contact Data and relationship between data controllers and Contact Data subjects, the primary legitimate interest of the data controllers is the possibility to conduct justified and lawful business according to applicable legislation.
Secondarily, for certain Contact Data subjects, our processing of Contact Data is based on direct or indirect contractual relationship.
Disclosures and Transfers of Contact Data
Your Contact Data is generally not disclosed (to be independently processed for purposes other than ours) to third parties outside our affiliates. In some circumstances, we may have to disclose your Contact Data by law, because a court or the police or other law enforcement agency has asked us for it. Your Contact Data may, however, be transferred to our affiliates or to third parties (e.g. subcontractors) who process Contact Data on our behalf for the purposes described in this Statement and in the relevant Description. In this way, we do not release the Contact Data from our effective control.
Due to technical and practical requirements, your Contact Data may be processed in locations other than the country in which you are situated, including locations outside the European Union or European Economic Area (incl. Switzerland). Therefore, countries to which your Contact Data may be sent/accessed from may have a different standard of data protection than the country in which you are situated. However, in all such cases, the processing of Contact Data shall be in accordance with applicable legislations (e.g. justified by EU Commission standard contractual clauses) and our data processing policies and instructions.
We may also share your Contact Data with a purchaser or potential purchaser of our business.
We may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and other related Business Activity information to reputable third parties, but these statistics are anonymized and will not include your Contact Data.
Security
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We cannot fully guarantee the security of your Contact Data transmitted to us; any such transmission is therefore at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorized and illegal access, alteration and denial of use of your Contact Data.
Use of Cookies
From time to time, we may place information on your computer which allows us to recognize your computer. This information is commonly known as a “cookie”. Typically, cookies enable collection of certain information regarding your computer, including your internet protocol (IP) address, your computer’s operating system, your browser type and the address of any referring sites. Cookies are intended to improve availability and quality of the Business Activity. A separate Cookie Statement explains the cookies in detail (references to this Statement above and below include also the contents of the Cookie Statement unless otherwise stated case by case). In case of possible discrepancy, the information provided in the Cookie Statement prevails over information of this Statement and relevant Description.
