The Parent Company sees to the general guidelines and principles governing online services and customer service and supervises the operation of the websites. The Parent Company ensures that the processing of personal data carried out by Snellman complies with data protection legislation and Snellman’s general data protection guidelines.
The Subsidiaries are responsible for the processing of personal data for the purpose of developing and marketing their own operations, products and services.
Snellman processes personal data for the purpose of improving product safety and satisfaction with the products as well as for the purpose of business development. This includes collecting and responding to customer feedback and any complaints. The processing is based on Snellman’s legitimate interest based on a factual connection between Snellman and the Data Subject emerging when the Data Subject buys Snellman’s products or is interested in or otherwise interacts with Snellman.
Snellman processes personal data for direct marketing purposes when the Data Subject subscribes to Snellman’s newsletter or orders other marketing material. The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes is based on the consent of the Data Subject when the marketing is targeted at consumers. We may carry out direct marketing to organisations (such as retail stores), unless the organisation in question has specifically prohibited this.
Subject to the Data Subject’s consent, we may also collect personal data through Snellman’s online services about the Data Subject’s use of the online services. For more information on the use of cookies, see section 10 below.
Snellman processes only the personal data that is necessary and essential for each processing event. Snellman processes the following categories of personal data, for example:
- Personal identification and contact information: Data Subject’s first and last name, postal address, e-mail address and telephone number.
- Feedback and complaints: information about the Data Subject’s feedback and complaints, including any photo attachments
- Consents given by the Data Subject: consent to or prohibition on direct marketing and the use of cookies
- Information collected through cookies: IP address, terminal device, operating system, browser type, time, web address from which the Data Subject came to the website, time spent on the site, language settings
Snellman processes personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose of the processing and only to the extent required.
Personal data shall be stored as follows:
a) Customer feedback and complaints, as well as personal data processed as a result of them, is deleted 12 months after the submission of the feedback or complaint, if the matter is not pending or otherwise requires further investigation.
b) Direct marketing data will be processed until the Data Subject wishes to cancel the subscription.
c) Personal data may be retained on the basis of Snellman’s legitimate interest for as long as this is necessary to protect Snellman’s legitimate interest. The retention periods will then be based on the duration of the pending official or other legal proceedings, as well as on the time limits for bringing actions and statute of limitations under the relevant legislation.
Snellman collects personal data only from the Data Subjects themselves when they use Snellman’s online services (website forms) or in connection with other transactions by telephone or e-mail. Calls may be recorded to improve customer service.
The personal data of the Data Subject is processed by those Snellman employees who have a need to process personal data to carry out their duties. Personal data may be transferred inside Snellman on the basis of a legitimate interest.
In certain circumstances, Snellman may disclose personal data to third parties. For example, Snellman may use third-party service providers to process personal data on Snellman’s behalf and in Snellman’s name. In these situations, we will properly ensure that the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with Snellman’s data protection practices and in accordance with the agreements concluded with the service providers.
Snellman may disclose personal data in connection with a possible business acquisition.
As a rule, we process personal data within the EU/EEA. However, we may transfer personal data outside the EU/EEA when a third-party service provider used by Snellman operates wholly or partly outside these territories. In these cases, we always ensure the legality of the transfers by complying with the standard contractual clauses adopted by the EU Commission and by ensuring that an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in the third country.
