Data protection and storage

Your personal data is only processed by those Finnvera employees whose work duties require them to process the data.

We use appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect your personal data. Such means include proactive and reactive risk management, various protection and filtration techniques as well as access control and safety systems. Safeguards also include security planning, controlled granting and monitoring of access rights, ensuring the competence of personnel involved in the processing of personal data, and careful selection of subcontractors. We update our internal practices and guidelines continuously.

We retain your data that is necessary for the customer relationship for at least the duration of the customer relationship. After the termination of the customer relationship, the retention period depends on the data in question and its purpose. We fulfil legal data retention obligations. For example, some data collected for marketing purposes is retained for six months, while the data in the identity verification document must be legally retained for five years.

We aim at ensuring that the personal data we process is accurate and up to date by erasing unnecessary data and updating obsolete data. However, we recommend that you check your information from time to time.
