Backup systems are in place to ensure the provision of the media service in all situations, such as during information system outages. Only email addresses are saved in the backup systems.
Personal data required to carry out customer satisfaction surveys (first name, last name, email address and phone number) may be disclosed to service providers carrying out such surveys commissioned by parties under the Police of Finland or the administrative branch of the Ministry of the Interior.
The personal data is protected by appropriate technical protection measures when it is transferred to the service providers. The contracts on data processing required by data protection legislation have been concluded with the service providers.
- Transfer of data to third countries
No personal data is disclosed or transferred outside the EU or EEA.
- Retention and erasure of data
Registered data and subscriptions will be erased when the data subject so requests or ends their membership with the media service. The controller erases any non-functional email addresses and their related personal data on its own initiative, at which time the data subject’s membership with the media service also ends.
- Protection of personal data
Personal data is processed by persons participating in the provision of the Police of Finland communications services and by partners under contract, e.g., service providers, who process the data for the controller.
Access to the Police’s data systems is controlled by means of identity and access management. The individuals authorised to process personal data log in to data systems by using a certificate linked to their e-service card. Access rights to systems are only granted to the extent required in official and work-related tasks.
The partners process the personal data in accordance with the contracts made. The representatives of the Police of Finland partners agree to non-disclosure provisions and to being subjected to a security clearance when necessary for data processing.
All electronic data is protected against third-party access by technical and organisational means. Personal data is processed in a non-electronic format only when necessary. In this case, the data is kept in a locked space and appropriately disposed of when it is no longer needed.
