3. Basis and purpose for maintaining the register

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is the contractual relationship between the controller and the data subject. Data processing for the event and marketing is based on the controller’s legitimate interest, and, for marketing, on the consent of the data subject.

Personal data are only processed for purposes defined in advance, which are the following:

  • providing information about an event
  • invoicing for an event
  • gathering feedback on an event
  • marketing of similar events

We market Suomen Yrittäjät membership to businesses that attend events.

4. Data stored in the register

The event register contains both company data and business contacts.

  • name
  • contact details
  • invoicing details
  • membership in the association

If the nature of the event so requires, we ask for:

  • allergy information
  • date of birth
  • professional title

5. Data subject’s rights

You have the following rights. If you have questions about exercising them, contact the contact person named in the event’s enrolment instructions.

Right of inspection and rectification

You have the right to check the personal data we store about you. If you notice any inaccuracies or defects in your data, you can ask us to correct or complete the data correctly.

Right of withdrawal

If you feel that processing some of your data is not necessary for our tasks, you have the right to ask us to erase such data. We will process your request, after which we will either erase your data or provide you with a justified reason the data cannot be erased. If you disagree with our decision, you have the right to file a complaint with the Data Protection Ombudsman (guidelines on how to file a complaint here). You also have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of controversial data until the matter is resolved.
