What Personal Data We Collect and How We Use It?

The use of the site does not require registration. Individual personal information such as name, address, or email address may be collected via email, messages, or contact forms, and information provided during the ordering process may be stored. Personal information may also be collected and updated from population registers, credit registers, and other similar public and private registers. Additionally, we maintain a register of subcontractors and collaborators to ensure smooth cooperation.

We process personal data for managing customer relationships or other relevant connections, analysis, statistics, the provision and development of services/products, and marketing. Relevant connections include, for example, providing personalized services or processing related to the management of service operations. Our operations are based on legitimate business, so we also comply with EU legislation on the storage of personal data:

  • Information stored about individuals is legal, reasonable, and transparent regarding processing. This means you can access your data at any time.

  • Data has purpose limitation – for example, the information we collect about individuals is tied to specific purposes. We do not disclose your information to external parties unless there is a legitimate reason, such as providing a mailing list to a subcontractor for product delivery. The subcontractor is part of Slope Graphics' collaboration network.

  • We minimize the data we store – we only store necessary and usage-appropriate information.

  • We strive to keep our information accurate and update the register as often as possible and whenever requested by the customer.

  • We limit data retention – data is assigned a lifespan, after which it is automatically or routinely deleted unless there is a legal reason to keep it. The data retention period is 4 years.

8. Principles of Register Protection

In the processing of registers, we exercise care, and information processed through data systems is adequately protected. While we cannot guarantee the security of any information you send to us or receive from us, we take this task seriously and maintain reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information. When register data is stored on internet servers, the hardware's physical and digital security is appropriately maintained. The data controller ensures that stored information and critical information for personal data security, such as server access rights, are treated confidentially and only by individuals whose job includes such tasks.

​

This includes the following measures:

  • Access to accounts with a password and the use of two- or multi-factor identification whenever available

  • Storing electronic data on reputable third-party storage service providers with appropriate protections

  • Restricting access to personal information to individuals who need the information.

  • Using payment service providers that are PCI DSS compliant

  • We do not store your payment information

​

9. Right to Inspection and Right to Request Data Correction

Everyone in our register has the right to inspect what information we have about them and request the correction of any inaccurate information or the completion of any incomplete information. If a person wishes to check the information stored about them or request corrections, the request must be sent in writing to the data controller at Selkätie 130, 48810 Kotka. We will verify the person's identity with an official identification document to ensure that we are checking the correct person's information. We will respond to the request within the time frame specified by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (usually within one month).
