Legal Basis for Processing

Under GDPR, we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

Consent: When you provide explicit consent for us to process your personal data for specific purposes, such as receiving marketing communications.

Contractual necessity: When processing is necessary to fulfill a contract with you, such as processing workshop registrations or responding to your service inquiries.

Legitimate interests: When we have a legitimate business interest in processing your data, such as improving our services, preventing fraud, or ensuring network and information security, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Legal obligation: When we are required to process your data to comply with legal obligations under Finnish or EU law.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you. These providers are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information when required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS protocols, secure storage systems, access controls, and regular security assessments.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any passwords or account information.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The retention period varies depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

Contact form submissions and general inquiries are typically retained for up to two years unless ongoing communication or business relationship requires longer retention. Workshop registration information is retained for the duration of the workshop and up to three years afterward for record-keeping purposes. Technical and usage data collected through cookies is typically retained for up to 12 months.

When we no longer need your personal information, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data retention and deletion policies.
