6 Purpose and legal basis of processing of personal data
The Data Controller shall process personal data to administer the processes of invoicing the work performed, payment of salary and managing thereto related matters.
Personal data shall also be processed to manage customer communication by the Data Controller. Communication may be directed to the data subject e.g. electronically, for example by newsletters sent by email. The processing of personal data is in such cases based on the legitimate interest of the Data Controller to inform the service users of current issues of the Data Controller and to offer the service users benefits and information concerning the use of the service and self-employment. The user is entitled to reject to receive communication by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter or by contacting the customer service of Eezy.
Personal data is also processed to implement the customer experience by random sampling. If you wish, Eezy can reply to the open feedback you provide. In this case, the processing of your personal data is based on your consent to implement the customer experience.
Personal data is also processed to implement the Valtticard (Occupational Safety and Health card) and related worker management services maintained and administered by Vastuu Group Oy. The services implement the statutory obligation to clarify under the Contractor’s Obligations Act for light entrepreneurs working on a Finnish construction site or a Finnish shipyard. The implementation of the Valtticard Services also includes the data protection statement regarding Vastuu Group’s Valtticard Service. You can find the data protection statement here.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is the legitimate interest of the data controller and the data subject based on the use of the service, as well as legislation related to billing and payroll, such as tax, attachment, contractor liability, occupational safety, and statistical legislation.
When reporting expenses and address information, Eezy is utilizing Google Maps (API) and Places (API) interfaces, making the Google Privacy Statement applicable.
