Historical data of mail recipients contained in the address system are not retained; we only process the most recent information we receive from Posti.

5. Data Transfers and Disclosures
We do not transfer or disclose personal data from the register to third parties except in the situations mentioned in this section. Personal data may be transferred and processed between companies within our group for the purposes described in this privacy policy. Personal data may be disclosed to authorities based on a legal requirement. We use subcontractors in our operations (such as subcontractors involved in the processing and distribution of deliveries and IT service providers), to whom we may transfer personal data from the register as necessary to fulfill the subcontractor's tasks. In these cases, we ensure through contractual arrangements that the subcontractor processes your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and our instructions. Data are not transferred outside the EU or EEA. If a transfer is necessary for the technical implementation of our services, we ensure through contractual arrangements and other necessary safeguards in accordance with data protection laws that your personal data are properly protected.
6. Register Protection Principles
Personal data are stored on a server protected by firewalls and other necessary technical measures. Access to the register is restricted at the application level or only to persons who need the data. Manual processing of data, if necessary, takes place on a separate firewall-protected computer, with encrypted data. Data transfer is always encrypted, and access control to the necessary servers during the transfer is carried out using a username-password procedure or a public key-based procedure.
7. Rights of the Data Subject
The data subject has the right to obtain confirmation of the processing of their personal data, to access their personal data, and to request the correction or completion of inaccurate or incorrect data by providing the necessary additional information.
Rights of the Data Subject
The data subject has the right, under the conditions provided by law, to request the deletion, restriction, or transfer of their personal data. To the extent that the processing is based on consent, the consent can be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Requests from the data subject are handled on a case-by-case basis, as when processing is based on compliance with a legal obligation, all rights may not be available to the data subject in all circumstances.
Each data subject has the right to file a complaint with the supervisory authority if they believe that their personal data has been processed in violation of this policy or data protection legislation.
