Purpose of processing personal data

STUK’s website makes use of online forms that enable visitors to the website to contact STUK. The website includes forms for feedback and questions. Furthermore, visitors may send page-specific feedback on each content page via the page. Visitors to the website can also send email messages to the addresses [email protected].

Visitors can use the form to submit their email address or other contact information in order to enable contact requests desired by the sender and to respond to feedback/enquiries. However, a message can also be sent without the sender giving their contact information.

The information provided in the online forms and the emails sent to the Registry are stored in the ticketing system (Efecte) of STUK's Registry.

Legal basis of processing

The processing of the personal data of the person submitting feedback is based on their consent.

Groups of data subjects

Persons who send messages via feedback or online forms on the stuk.fi website or via stuk(at)stuk.fi or other email addresses provided on the website.

Personal data processed

The online web form will request the submitter of feedback to give their email address if they want to receive a response from STUK. All the information that the sender of feedback or responder of an enquiry has given of themselves, such as a name, is stored in the ticketing system of the Registry.

An individual message is only issued to those of STUK’s experts whose expertise is needed in order to reply to the inquiry or to whom the feedback has been addressed. No information will be handed over to third parties for purposes other than processing the messages.

Questions and answers can be published in the Frequently Asked Questions section of the STUK website. The questions and answers are published in generalized form from which the sender cannot be identified.

Where does personal data originate from?

Personal data is obtained from the data subjects themselves who send personal data via online forms or email messages.

Groups of personal data recipients

Personal data will not be handed over by STUK to other parties.

Will data be transferred outside the EU/EEA or to international organizations or will they have access to the data?

Personal data will not be forwarded to other parties and no outside parties have access to it.

Scheduled erasure of data groups

Messages sent to STUK's ticketing system via the Stuk.fi online service or sent to email addresses will not be deleted unless specifically requested by the data subject.
