Data protection

We process personal data in compliance with data protection legislation and good data management and processing practices. When it comes to client data, we operate according to the obligation of confidentiality laid down in Section 5 of the Act on the State-Owned Specialised Financing Company (443/1998). Our web pages may contain links to the web pages or services of other companies that have their own data protection practices, unconnected to those of Finnvera. In such cases, we recommend that you familiarise yourself with the data protection practices of the third parties in question.

Further information about data protection may be presented in connection with individual services, products, websites and applications. In such cases, the further information provided takes precedence over this text.

Our data protection practices may change when we develop our services or when legislation changes. Up-to-date information about our practices can be found on this website.
