Privacy policy and terms of use
The data protection of our customers and other stakeholders is very important to us. This page describes the terms of use for Asuntosäätiö and its online service, as well as the personal data files.
Asuntosäätiö’s privacy policy
Asuntosäätiö’s privacy policy defines the principles of data protection approved by Asuntosäätiö group regarding the processing of personal data of its customers, cooperation partners and other stakeholders, employees and job applicants. With our privacy policy and the guidelines derived from it, we strive to ensure that we process personal data in compliance with legislation and offer the appropriate level of data protection.
Use of personal data
Asuntosäätiö group also constructs, maintains and sells apartments and right-of-occupancy homes as well as offers rental apartments. The processing of personal data is a necessary part of these operating processes. Asuntosäätiö group comprises several subsidiaries, which also process personal data. Personal data are processed in compliance with Asuntosäätiö’s privacy policy and guidelines as well as data protection legislation.
Personal data are collected from customers who voluntarily provide their data to the subsidiaries of Asuntosäätiö group. In addition, personal data are collected from the credit register of Suomen Asiakastieto Oy and the population information system of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. Some of the services require users to register, and the data provided in this connection then form part of the customer register. Customer registers are used to maintain and handle customer relationships, to carry out customer surveys and to organise direct marketing concerning Asuntosäätiö group. Personal data are not disclosed to third parties.
Asuntosäätiö group has outsourced some of its services. The provision of these services is based on an agreement that allows the use of customer registers in operating processes related to the services. Such service providers include companies in charge of key orders and storage, contractors, the Help centre, maintenance companies and building management companies, as well as real estate agents brokering apartments.
We process personal data only to the extent necessary to perform the tasks defined for the personal data file in question. We process personal data, for example, to perform services and deliver orders, as well as to improve the service experience of users by personalising customer service (news content and personal offers) and targeting digital advertising, among other things.
Asuntosäätiö group processes personal data carefully and in compliance with the law, following good personal data processing practice and ensuring in every possible way that the privacy of the data subject is not compromised.
Under personal data legislation, individuals have the right to access their stored personal data. To request to review data please contact our data protection officer at tietosuoja@asuntosaatio.fi
Customers have the right to request the rectification, erasure or completion of their personal data in the data file that are inaccurate, outdated, incomplete or unnecessary for the purpose of processing. The rectification request must be submitted to customer service at one of Asuntosäätiö’s offices or to the service provider’s sales office.
Customers have the right to prohibit Asuntosäätiö group from using their personal data for direct marketing. By prohibiting direct marketing, the customer acknowledges that this means they will not receive offers from Asuntosäätiö concerning services designed for them. A previously granted permission for direct marketing can be cancelled by sending a notification by email to asiakaspalvelu@asuntosaatio.fi.
