5 Sources from which personal data is regularly collected

Upon consent of the data subject, personal data may be collected and updated also from other sources, e.g. from cooperation partners of the Data Controller or from authorities (e.g. credit information agencies, Vastuu Group). Personal data may be collected and updated also without a consent from the data subject provided this is carried out under circumstances where the legislation permits such collection.

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.

General Disclosures of Personal Data

The personal data stored in the register may be disclosed in accordance with and as required by applicable legislation, or with the consent of the data subject, to authorities that have a legal right to obtain information from the register, such as tax authorities and KELA (Social Insurance Institution of Finland), as well as to other parties involved in the handling of employment-related and light entrepreneurship matters, such as pension and accident insurance companies, trade unions, and occupational health service providers. In addition, personal information can be forwarded on to Eezy Plc companies for employment purposes.

In the Valtticard service and the associated employee management service, the disclosure of personal data to another data controller’s personal register is carried out through interfaces provided by Vastuu Group, in such a way that the light entrepreneur’s information is disclosed against the reading of Valtticard identifiers or otherwise in a manner where the contractual relationship between the data controller and the other data controller, and the purpose of the data use, is identified. Vastuu Group may disclose information from the Employee Management Service to authorities based on a binding order issued by a competent authority or when the provider believes that the authority’s request for information is justified to investigate suspected misuse related to the use of the services. Vastuu Group may use subcontractors located within the European Economic Area in the production of the Valtticard service and the associated employee management service and may transfer personal data to such subcontractors for the purpose of providing the service.

Transfers of Personal Data

In addition, personal data may be transferred to such cooperation partners of the data subject who process personal data on behalf of and under the instructions of the data controller, such as Vastuu Group. In this case, the cooperation partner of the data controller does not have the right to process personal data for its own account.

In principle, personal data will not be transferred outside of the Member States of the European Union or outside of the European Economic Area, unless it will be necessary for the purpose of processing personal data or for technically facilitating the processing, whereby the requirements of data protection legislation shall be complied with in transfer of personal data.

For the purpose of mailing the newsletters, the customer’s email address and name will be transferred to a separate customer register in which case the technical operator will be Liana Technologies Oy.

8 Protection of personal data

The Data Controller will implement appropriate technical and organisational data-protection measures to ensure protection of personal data. Personal data is recorded and saved in both electronic data bases and manually maintained materials. The electronic data bases are protected by fire walls, passwords and other generally in the data-protection branch accepted technical measures. The manually maintained and processed materials are stored in premises where access by unauthorized persons is prevented.

Access to the personal data is given only to persons that are separately determined and specified and who need to process the personal data in the register in order to carry out their duties. These persons will have access to the system only by using their personal usernames and passwords.
