Visit Turku Archipelago processes the contact information of its partners, stakeholders, and other contacts for communication, marketing, and other customer and partnership relationship management purposes. Examples of such communication include sending event invitations and notifications related to partnership activities. Additionally, the personal data of event participants is processed for event organization purposes.

Processed Personal Data
Visit Turku Archipelago may process the following personal data for the aforementioned purposes:
• Name and contact information, such as phone number and email address
• Role/title and information about the organization the person represents (company contact information)
• Information on direct marketing permissions and prohibitions, as well as other communications between the parties
• Additional information provided during event registrations, such as possible food allergies
-
Legal Basis for Processing
Processing is based on the consent provided by the data subject or on the legitimate interest of the data controller in communication between organizations. Communication may be directed at representatives of organizations under the so-called authority of position. However, all parties have the right to opt-out of direct marketing if they so wish.
-
Data Retention Period
Collected data is retained only for as long as necessary in relation to the original purposes for which the personal data was collected. Personal data stored in registers will be deleted when there is no longer a legal basis for processing them. Contact information is generally retained as long as there is a potential need for communication, for example, as long as the person acts as a designated contact for a partner.
-
Disclosure and Receipt of Data
Visit Turku Archipelago has external partners who may participate in the processing of personal data on behalf of Visit Turku Archipelago when providing certain services. These partners include, for example, suppliers and maintainers of the organization's information systems.
No personal data from Visit Turku Archipelago's registers is disclosed without the explicit consent of the data subject. Visit Turku Archipelago may receive personal data from individuals and the organizations they represent, as well as from other partners, for example, when the organizer of a jointly produced event provides us with the collected data on the event participants. Visit Turku Archipelago applies the same principles to such data as to data it has collected itself. The organization disclosing the data is responsible for communication with the individuals at the time of data collection and disclosure.
-
Principles of Data Protection
Visit Turku Archipelago Oy ensures the security, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal data registers through appropriate technical and administrative measures. Data is protected, among other things, by firewalls, physical security of device rooms, access rights, encryption technologies, and active monitoring of these measures. Only a limited number of people have the right to process the data. Personal data is generally not transferred, stored, or otherwise processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Exceptions to this relate to the international software or online services used by Visit Turku Archipelago, such as our customer relationship management (CRM) system. In such cases, Visit Turku Archipelago has ensured that the level of data protection guaranteed by the EU’s data protection regulation is implemented despite the transfer.
