3. For what purposes is the register used?

The use of your personal data is based on your being a representative of our member organisation, our partner, or our customer. It may also be based on an agreement we have made with you. In addition, you may give us your consent to access your information. We can also use your information due to the fact that we need it for work purposes or to communicate on a website.

We will use your personal data if you have personally registered as a subscriber to news and press releases on the accessibility, equality and diversity of culture and art or have registered for our events. In addition, we will use your information if you are a partner or have otherwise indicated that you would like to receive information on our field.

Your information is used to send newsletters, provide information on the service and equality of culture, and provide professional contacts and services. Your data can also be processed for conducting studies and surveys.

Your data will not be used for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. What kind of information does the register contain?

Our register contains your contact information: At least your name and email address.

If necessary, we may also collect the following information:

NOTE! If you submit a job application to us, please do not enter your personal identity code or exact date of birth in your application or resume. We do not need this information during the recruitment process.

5. Where do we collect the information?

The information stored in the register is mainly obtained from you, for example, from messages sent using forms linked to the website, e-mail, telephone, contracts, email list/newsletter subscription form, other information forms, personal meetings and other situations in which the customer, partner, jobseeker, employee or fee recipient discloses their information to us.

If necessary, we will also collect contact information from public lists or websites for actors in the cultural sector, the media or public administration that is needed for contact and communication activities. Some public information (e.g. a Business ID), can be retrieved from the Internet, such as for invoicing.

6. How do we protect your personal data?

Personal data is collected in databases and on our server. Some information is stored in a paper archive. Databases, papers, files and their backups are kept in locked spaces and protected by firewalls, passwords and other technical means. The data is located in Finland (excluding data collected through Google Forms).

Data may only be accessed by employees of the Culture for All Service whose work requires the processing of data. Data can also be accessed by persons to whom the Culture for All Service outsources, for example, bookkeeping and service maintenance. All of these persons are obligated to keep this data confidential. Consequently, no data should be disclosed to anyone.

Examples:

Only the Executive Director has access to the rekrytointi@cultureforall.fi (recruitment) email account.
Only the persons involved in the selection of a new employee and the Executive Director may process personal data related to jobseeking. The selection of a new employee usually involves the staff of the Association for Culture for All service/Association For Culture on Equal Terms and, in some cases, also members of the Board of Association For Culture on Equal Terms or other experts.
Only the contact person for the fee payment, the Executive Director and the accountant process personal data related to the fee payment.

7. How long will your personal data be stored?

We will only keep your information for as long as necessary with regard to: communications; maintaining customer relationships and agreements; maintaining professional contact and service; the recruitment process; or the payment of fees. In addition, legislation affects the length of time we store the data.

We will delete your data from the register when we no longer need it. For example, we will delete event participant lists and registration information no later than 3 months after the event. Our employees involved in the recruitment process will delete all applications, CVs and emails related to recruitment no later than one month after the end of the recruitment process. All applications and CVs printed on paper will be destroyed in a data-secure manner. Then, only the Executive Director of the Culture for All service will have access to the material of the recruitment process and will permanently destroy them one year after the end of the recruitment process.

Open applications are kept for a maximum of one month from the date of their submission.

You may also request that we delete some or all of your data from one or all of our registers at any time.

We can only remove your data from the register if we do not have a statutory reason to keep it (e.g. a valid contract, accounting or other purposes for which your data is needed for the time being). For example, our accountants and Executive Director retain personal data related to the payment of fees and salaries for a period of six years.
