We use your personal data to manage your account. This includes, for example, corresponding with you online, processing your orders, analysing and improving our products and services, direct marketing, organising events and prize draws, and conducting opinion polls and market surveys. We also sometimes use your personal data to analyse, plan and improve our own business and that of other companies belonging to the same group of undertakings.

Your personal data help us to plan, target, implement and improve our marketing campaigns.

Our partners’ and their representatives’ data are used to manage the partnership.

 

5)    ON WHAT BASIS DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We use your information to draw up and execute a contract with you, to process your orders and give you access to our services and prize draws. We also process our partners’ data for similar purposes.

Our right to process your data is based on our legitimate interests that arise from our relationship with you. Once you have given us your contact information in connection with purchasing our products or services, we can use the information to send you direct marketing communications relating to the same or similar group of products online.

If we have asked you for permission to send you direct marketing communications and/or newsletters, our right to process your personal data is based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by e-mailing us at GDPR@finntack.com or by clicking on “Unsubscribe” in the bottom corner of our newsletter.

 

6)    HOW DO WE GET YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We mostly get your personal data from you when you order products from us or participate in our events or prize draws. All our marketing communications include an option to refuse further correspondence.

If you represent one of our corporate customers, we mostly get your personal data from you. We also collect information about our corporate customers from their websites and other public sources, Suomen Asiakastieto Oy’s business database and other commercial operators who provide information about businesses and their representatives. We use the services of Intrum Justitia and Craydon to check our corporate customers’ credit history.

If you have given us permission to send you electronic direct marketing communications, we can ask our partners, such as equestrian sports organisations, for your contact information.

 

7)    TO WHOM DO WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We only disclose your personal data when permitted or required by law.

We can disclose your information to our partners, such as delivery companies and online payment service providers, in order to fulfil our contractual obligations.

We also have the right to disclose your personal data if, for example, we have a legal or procedural obligation to do so, if we have reason to believe that a crime has been committed and in order to protect and defend our rights and interests as well as the rights and interests of our partners, suppliers or customers.

We can also disclose your personal data to other companies belonging to the same group of undertakings for the purposes listed in section 4 above.

Should our business or a part thereof be sold, we have the right to disclose your personal data to the buyer.

We have outsourced some aspects of our personal data processing to the following kinds of service providers:

13)  WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF THE PROCESSING OF MY PERSONAL DATA?
Right of access

You have the right to ask us for confirmation as to whether or not we are processing any personal data that concerns you. When you exercise your right to access your data, we send you a copy of the personal data concerning you that we process. If you need more than one copy, we can, within reason, charge you a fee based on our administrative costs.

 

Right to rectification
You have the right to ask us to promptly correct any inaccurate or incorrect information that we have about you. You also have the right to have any incomplete data supplemented by sending us additional information.

 

Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’)
You have the right to ask us to promptly remove any personal data of yours that we have in our possession if

  • the data are no longer needed for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed,
  • you withdraw the consent on which our right to process your data was based and we have no other legal basis for processing your data,
  • you object to us processing your data due to your personal circumstances and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing or you object to us using your data for direct marketing purposes,
  • we have processed your data unlawfully, or your personal data must be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation.

 

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data so that, in addition to storing your data, we can only process your data with your consent or in order to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person if

  •  you contest the accuracy of your personal data, in which case we will refrain from processing your data until we have verified their accuracy,
  • we have been processing your data unlawfully but instead of asking us to erase your data you wish to restrict their use instead,
  • we no longer need to process your personal data but you need the data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or
  • you have objected to us processing your data due to your personal circumstances and you are waiting for confirmation as to whether our legitimate grounds for processing your data override the grounds for your objection.

 

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive any personal data that you have given us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and transmit those data to another controller if

  • we process your data by automated means and
  • our processing of your data is based on your consent and necessary for the execution of our contract with you or for preparatory work requested by you to enable the execution of our contract.

The right to data portability can only be exercised in so far as it does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

 

Right to object
You have the right to object to us processing your personal data due to your personal circumstances unless we are able to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing.

You have the right to object to us using your personal data for direct marketing purposes. The easiest way to opt out of electronic direct marketing communications is to click on “Unsubscribe” in the bottom corner of our messages.

 

Right to withdraw consent
You can withdraw your consent to us using your personal data for marketing purposes at any time. The easiest way to do this is to click on “Unsubscribe” in the bottom corner of our newsletter.

 

Right to complain to the authorities
You have the right to file a complaint with the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman if you feel that our processing of your personal data violates your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation.

For more information, see www.tietosuoja.fi.

 

14)  FOR HOW LONG WILL YOUR PERSONAL DATA BE STORED?

We only keep your personal data for as long as we need them for the purposes for which they were collected or to meet our legal obligations. The period for which we store your data therefore depends on, for example, limitation periods for bringing legal claims, accounting regulations, our obligations under money laundering laws and legal recommendations on document retention periods.

We keep accounting records for a period of six years from the end of the year during which each financial year ends. If you miss a payment, we will keep your details until you have paid the amount in full or until the debt can no longer be collected.

Any personal data that we have collected for marketing purposes are kept until we are asked to stop processing the data for that purpose.

 

15)  HOW DO WE ENSURE INFORMATION SECURITY IN THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA?

Your personal data are stored in a system that is protected by firewalls, passwords and other technical means that are generally accepted as the norm in our industry. Any information that we keep manually is stored in a locked space that cannot be accessed by unauthorised persons. Only employees who need to process personal data to perform their work have access to the information.
