Why do we handle your personal data?

Personal data is used for organising events, stakeholder cooperation, and communication.

 

Why are we allowed to handle your personal data?

The handling of personal data is based on an EU-wide General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The grounds of handling data are granted by approval of the registrant.

In event-participations, we handle also private data (e.g. information regarding diet). The grounds of handling such private data are granted by approval of the registrant.

 

Do we use automated decision-making or profiling?

We do not automate decisions or use profiling.

Automated decisions mean a decision based on an evaluation of an individual’s certain attributes, which is only done via means of automated personal data handling and has either a judicial or an otherwise significant impact on the registrant. Examples of automated decision-making are e.g. creditworthiness and profiling.

Profiling means the automated handling of personal data, which evaluates the personal attributes of an individual. Profiling specifically means the analysis and prediction of an individual’s job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences and interests, credibility, behaviour, location, or movement. Profiling is either fully or partially automated, is focused on personal data, and evaluates the personal data of an individual.

How do we protect your personal data?

The data security regulations and guidelines of the University of Eastern Finland are followed in all information systems handling personal data. In technical terms, the information systems and their user interfaces are protected by e.g. firewalls and a backup copy of the system data is executed regularly as a safety measure.

Access rights of information systems are limited through access right groups so that each user has only access to the data required in their given job.

Persons who are employed by the university and who carry out positions of trust are subject to the duty of confidentiality in accordance with section 23 of the Act on Publicity of Government Activities. In addition, university employees may not use or disclose the employer’s professional or business secrets to others during the employment relationship (Chapter 3, Section 4 of the Employment Contracts Act).

All confidential data, along with their time of retention, archiving, or disposal are defined in the records management programme of the University of Eastern Finland.
