This privacy statement describes how Comatec Group, Insinööritoimisto Comatec Oy and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as “Comatec” or “the controller”) process personal data. This privacy statement is applied to all processing of personal data, whether data is processed in connection with maintaining Comatec’s website, tending to customer relationships, or the products and services Comatec offers.

 

4 Purpose and basis of processing personal data

The purposes (and legal grounds, given in brackets) for processing personal data are as follows:

When processing data on the basis of legitimate interest, Comatec assesses the potential advantages and disadvantages the processing may cause to the data subject and ensures that the rights and interests of the data subject do not override the legitimate interest. Upon request, Comatec will provide more information on how information is processed based on legitimate interest.

 

5 Content of the register

The register may contain the following data or information that is necessary for identifying data subjects, as well as other data or information regarding contact persons of customer organisations necessary for fulfilling the purpose of the register:

 

6 Regular sources of information

Data and information on the data subjects is collected from customer organisations, potential customer organisations or stakeholders themselves when a data subject purchases or orders Comatec’s products or services for themselves or on behalf of the organisation they represent, in connection with other communication by telephone, using the internet or via email in connection with marketing activities, such as events. Sometimes information may also be collected from Posti’s address information system, contact lists of telephone companies and other corresponding private or public registers.

 

7 Regular disclosure of data

Personal data may be transferred with the controller between companies belonging to the group in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation and for the purposes described in this privacy statement.

Various service providers and other third parties, such as providers of technical solutions, server space or accounting and financial services, may also be contracted to process personal data. Group companies may also process personal data on each other’s behalf.

Comatec ensures that all processing parties sign relevant agreements as required by the applicable data protection legislation.

Personal data may be disclosed to third parties if so required by law or by a public authority, or in situations where disclosure is necessary to prevent or investigate any misconduct or ensure security. Personal data may also be disclosed to third parties in connection with trials or other legal proceedings. If an invoice is left unpaid, individual data may be disclosed to debt collection companies.

If the controller or a company belonging to the same group as the controller is involved in a merger, asset purchase or other business arrangement, personal data may be disclosed to other parties of the arrangement or parties that provide assistance for the purposes of the arrangement.

Additional information on the recipients of personal data can be provided upon request.

 

8 Transfer of data outside the EU or EEA

Data is not regularly transferred or disclosed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. However, service providers involved in the processing of personal data may be established outside the European Union or the European Economic Area and may therefore transfer personal data to third-party countries.

When data is transferred outside the EU or the EEA, Comatec will ensure that it is adequately protected. This is done by agreeing on matters related to the processing of personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation, e.g. using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or other measures based on the adequacy decision given by the European Commission, among other things.

Comatec will provide additional information on the transfer of personal data and associated data protection mechanisms upon request.

 

9 Retention of personal data

Comatec will only retain personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this privacy statement. In addition to this, data will always be retained for the period required by law (e.g. legislation regarding accounting or reporting obligations), or any period of time required for the purposes of ongoing litigation or a similar dispute resolution process. As a general rule, Comatec will retain customer data for a period of 10 years after the latest sale or other form of contact with the customer. After this, the personal data will be either deleted or anonymised without unreasonable delay.

Additional information on the retention of personal data is provided upon request.

 

10 Automated decision-making and profiling

Comatec does not use automated decision-making, nor does it profile its customers.

 

11 Data protection principles

Comatec does not collect manual data on its customer organisations, potential customer organisations or other stakeholders.
