3. Categories of personal data to be processed, information content and sources of information

Kotipizza Group Oy only collects and processes personal data concerning data subjects that is relevant and necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement. This applies to both data obtained directly from the data subjects and from other sources of information.

Sources of information

As a general rule, personal data is collected from the data subjects themselves through surveys and other measures conducted in Kotipizza Group Oy’s channels and services.

Data collected from other sources than from data subjects

Kotipizza Group Oy processes also personal data obtained from third parties and uses external marketing service providers which process data subjects’ contact information for marketing and communications purposes.

Furthermore, personal data may be collected from communities on behalf of which the data subject acts. In addition, data may be, to the extent permitted by legislation, collected and updated from registers maintained by third parties.

4. Retention of personal data

Kotipizza Group Oy only retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes specified in this Privacy Statement, unless we are required to keep it longer by the legislation (for instance due to responsibilities and obligations concerning specific legislation, accounting obligations or reporting obligations) or in case the Company needs the data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

The data retention time and retention criteria depend on categories of personal data and the purpose of use of a certain category of personal data. Kotipizza Group Oy may, as required by the legislation, use personal data of data subjects for contacting purposes after the customer relation has ended or, if the data subject has given their contact details, for example, in connection to a competition, prize draw, feedback submission or newsletter subscription.

Personal data is processed throughout the duration of a customer or contractual relationship as well as after it, as long as necessary.

Data concerning customer identification will be retained for as long as required by legislation.

When personal data is no longer needed for the above-mentioned purposes, it is deleted within a reasonable time or rendered anonymous in such a way that individuals cannot be identified, directly or indirectly, from the data.

5. Processors and recipients of personal data

Kotipizza Group Oy processes personal data in accordance with the data protection legislation.

The Company may use external third-party service providers for data processing purposes. The Company selects service providers with due care and will ensure, with sufficient contractual measures, that the personal data is processed appropriately and lawfully.

The Company may have to disclose personal data concerning data subjects in an emergency or other unexpected situation where it is necessary to protect an interest which is essential for the life or health of other persons or for the protection of assets. Furthermore, in case the Company is involved in legal proceedings or other dispute resolution procedures, the Company may have to disclose personal data concerning data subjects.

In case of a merger, acquisition or similar event in which Kotipizza Group Oy is involved, it may have to disclose data subjects’ personal data to third parties.

As a general rule, disclosure of data to third parties is carried out via electronic communication links. Data may also be disclosed by other means, such as by phone or mail.

6. Data transfers outside the EU/EEA

As a general rule, no data is transferred outside the EU or the EEA.

If data is transferred outside the EU or the EEA, Kotipizza Group Oy will ensure the adequate level of protection for personal data, for instance, by agreeing on matters related to the confidentiality of personal data and its processing as required by data protection legislation, for example, by using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

Contracts and other documents to be stored in original form will be stored carefully with limited access granted only to those parties which are entitled to access the data. Documents will be destroyed in a confidential manner.
