9. Disclosures and transfers

Ilmarinen discloses personal data only to the extent permitted and required by legislation in force at any given time. In special cases, personal data may also be disclosed with the consent of the data subject.

Personal data may be transferred to Ilmarinen’s partners that participate in the production, provision or development of services, or that are otherwise involved in the processing and protection of personal data.

10. Right of access

The data subject has the right to know what information about him or her has been stored in Ilmarinen’s marketing register or that the register does not contain information about him or her.

A request for access to personal data must be made to Ilmarinen in a signed or otherwise comparably reliably verified document, or in person.

The data subject is entitled to object to the processing of personal data that applies to him/her when the processing is based on a general or legitimate interest, such as direct marketing.

The data subject can request that Ilmarinen restrict the processing of his/her personal data when:

    requires them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to the processing of the personal data,
    pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

The request must contain the name and identity number of the data subject and a specific and justified request for restriction.

Ilmarinen retains personal data for as long as any one of the processing grounds presented in section 4 of this privacy statement is valid and the personal data is necessary for its processing purposes. Telephone recordings are retained for 6-12 months. Once the retention period of personal data has expired or the data subject objects to the processing of personal data based on a legitimate interest and there are no other grounds for processing the data, the data will be erased.

The data subject is entitled to bring the matter before the Data Protection
Ombudsman, if the data subject considers that the processing of the personal data that apply to him/her breach the relevant legislation.
