NAME OF THE REGISTER

Meadow Cosmetics Oy's marketing and customer register.

DATA CONTENT OF THE REGISTER

The following information can be stored in and processed by the register. Not all of the information mentioned below may be available for every user.

  • The data subject's name, address, phone number, email, customer information, payment information, company and its billing information, other information possibly provided by the customer themselves
  • Changes to the aforementioned information
  • In addition, the register may contain other notes related to the data subject and their potential customer relationship, and other information necessary for the proper management of the customer relationship. This may include, for example, information about the data subject's contact requests or newsletter subscriptions.

PURPOSE AND LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

The controller aims to provide the best possible service through its customer and marketing activities, and to offer data subjects content that is specifically of interest to them. Personal data is used by Meadow Cosmetics Oy for:

  • Targeting customer communications and marketing measures
  • Managing, maintaining, and developing customer relationships
  • Producing services and handling service deliveries

Personal data is processed based on the data subject's consent, for the legitimate interests of the Controller, or for the preparation or execution of a contract to which the data subject is a party.

DATA SOURCES

The personal data in this register is always obtained directly from the data subject themselves.

RETENTION PERIOD OF PERSONAL DATA

Data collected in the register is retained only for as long as and to the extent necessary and legally permitted in relation to the original or compatible purposes for which the personal data was collected. We retain personal data based on the nature of the customer relationship as follows:

Data of regular customers is generally retained for three (3) years from the last active event between the data subject and the Controller.

Data of loyal customers and repeat subscribers may be retained for up to five (5) years from the last active event, as our cosmetic products may have a longer purchase cycle.

Data is deleted when its defined retention period has expired. Personal data may be used after the customer relationship ends if required by applicable law, such as for information required by accounting law (6 years). In addition, the Controller takes all reasonable steps to ensure that inaccurate, erroneous, or outdated personal data is corrected or deleted without delay with respect to the purposes of processing.

PRINCIPLES OF REGISTER PROTECTION

The confidentiality of customer personal data is important to the Controller. The Controller has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, disclosure, misuse, alteration, loss, or unauthorized access.

The use of the register within the controller's organization is instructed, and access to the personal data register is restricted by access rights such that only employees who have the right to access the data stored in the system due to their work duties and who need the information for their tasks are authorized to use it.

The information systems used for processing personal data are technically protected in adequate ways, and access to them is secured by appropriate methods, including personal user IDs and passwords. Special attention is paid to the data security of register data backup and the destruction of materials containing personal data.

DISCLOSURE OF DATA

The processing and storage of personal data is partly outsourced to external service providers. The Controller guarantees that such outsourcing takes place in accordance with current data protection and personal data legislation and that external service providers do not utilize the data in this personal data register for their own purposes.

Personal data will not be disclosed outside the Controller or its data storage service providers in a way that allows the data to be identified as pertaining to an individual user, except in the following exceptional circumstances: as required by law or official order, by court order, or if otherwise necessary to prevent or investigate alleged breaches of law, terms of use of online services, or good practice, or to protect the rights of the controller or third parties.

TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

The Controller may transfer personal data outside the EU and EEA areas due to the technical implementation of data processing when using external service providers for data storage, based on a cooperation agreement between the parties. These transfers are carried out securely in accordance with data protection legislation and within its limits.

For international data transfers, we use appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or other transfer mechanisms in accordance with the GDPR. All transfers of personal data are carried out in compliance with high-level data security practices, such as data encryption during both transfer and storage. We also ensure that service providers processing data comply with internationally recognized data security standards.

RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

The data subject has the right to inspect the data concerning them in the register and to request correction of any incorrect, incomplete, or outdated data. An inspection request can be made free of charge once a year. Inspection and correction requests must be addressed to the contact person for the personal data register, whose contact details are at the beginning of this policy, either by visiting them in person or by sending a signed letter or similarly verified document to ensure the requestor's right to the request. Inspection requests will be answered within one month of their submission.

The data subject has the right to withdraw their previously given consent for data processing at any time or to lodge a complaint regarding the processing of their personal data with the supervisory authority. The data subject also has the right to request the erasure of their personal data from the register, provided that it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, or that there are no statutory obligations for the Controller to process or retain it. The data subject also has the right to request the restriction of processing of their personal data or to object to the processing of their personal data.
