Your rights and contact details

As a data subject, you have certain rights with regard to personal data in Finnvera’s possession.

You have the following rights:

A) Right of access to your personal data

You have the right to access your personal data in our possession. More detailed instructions on submitting the request can be found on this page.

B) Right to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data 

If the data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request the rectification of such data, unless this right is restricted by law.

C) Right to erasure

As the result of legislation, Finnvera is in many cases under an obligation to store your personal data for the duration of the client relationship and even after that if the processing of the data is necessary for fulfilling legal obligations or processing legal claims, for instance.

You have the right to request the erasure of your data in the following circumstances:

• You withdraw your consent to the processing of data and there are no other justified grounds for the processing. 
• You object to the processing of the data and there are no acceptable grounds for continuing the processing.
• You object to the processing of the data for direct marketing purposes. 
• The processing of data is contrary to law.

D) Right to restriction of processing of personal data

If you contest the accuracy of the data recorded by us or the lawfulness of the processing of the data or if you have objected to the processing of the data in line with your rights, you can request us to restrict the processing of your personal data to data storage only. In this case, the processing of the data will be restricted to storage only until the accuracy of the data is verified or until it has been possible to verify whether our legitimate interests take precedence over your interests.

If you do not have the right to request the erasure of data from our data files, you can request instead that we restrict the processing of this data to data storage only. If the processing of data recorded about you is necessary solely for exercising a legal claim, you can also request that the other processing of the data is restricted to data storage only. We may use your data for other purposes if the exercise of a legal claim so requires or if you have given your consent to that.

E) Right to object to the processing of data on the basis of our legitimate interest

You always have the right to object to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes or for profiling related to direct marketing.

If you want to exercise your above-mentioned rights, requests will be assessed separately for each case and circumstances. Please note that we may also store and use your data if that is necessary for the fulfilment of legal obligations, the resolution of disputes or the performance of a contract.

If you have any questions about the privacy statement, you can contact Finnvera’s data protection officer by sending e-mail to tietosuojavastaava(at)finnvera.fi.

Alternatively, you can contact the national data protection authority in any matters related to data protection. The data protection authority also handles complaints related to data protection.

A data subject should submit the request to access their data through the Messages function of the online service with the topic “Other”. Log in to Finnvera's online service through the Suomi.fi e-Authorizations service with your personal online banking credentials or mobile certificate.
