8. Principles of register protection and disclosure of data

A. Physical data
Physical data are stored in locked facilities and can only be accessed by persons authorized to process the data.

B. Data stored in digital format
Personal data included in the register are stored and backed up as confidential data securely. The controller’s organization has been given instructions on the use of the register, and access to the person register is limited in such a way that the data included in the register and stored in the IT system can only be accessed and used by those employees of the controller who are authorized to do so on the basis of their job description. The controller makes sure that the processors are committed to confidentiality either on the basis of their job description or an agreement.

The IT system is protected by data-protection software in the operating system. Access to the system requires every user of the register to enter their user ID and password. The data on the website is protected by a firewall and other adequate technical measures, such as encryption.

The processing of personal data can be outsourced to a third party.  Sisters & Company Oy guarantees, by way of agreements, that any personal data are processed in accordance with the information security legislation and the effective EU regulations.

10. Rectification of data and implementing the rectification of data

The data subject has the right to influence the processing of their data.

The controller shall rectify, erase, or supplement, on the data subject’s request, any personal data in the register that are erroneous, unnecessary, defective, or outdated from the perspective of the purpose of the processing. The controller may also rectify such data independently.

The data subject’s request shall be sent as a separate written and signed document to the address:

11. The controller’s obligations, the data subject’s right to data portability, and the data subject’s right to be forgotten

The controller shall, without undue delay, independently and or on the data subject’s demand, rectify, erase, or supplement any personal data in the register that are erroneous, unnecessary, defective, or outdated from the perspective of the processing purpose. The controller must also prevent the spreading of such data in case the data may endanger the data subject’s privacy protection or their rights.

The controller shall notify those to whom the controller has disclosed the erroneous personal data or from whom they have received the data of the rectification of the data. However, there is no obligation to notify if the notification proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

Personal data are stored for as long as there are grounds for processing them. When there are no more grounds for processing, the data will be removed in an adequate manner. The data subject has the right to cancel their consent to data processing. If a data subject cancels their consent, they can send a request to the controller on the erasure of the data concerning the data subject unless their processing is based on other legal grounds.

The request shall be sent as a separate written and signed document to the address:
