Talenom Privacy Policy

Last updated:  August 15th 2022

 

This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) applies to the Talenom Group and its subsidiaries located in Finland and  Sweden.  This Privacy Policy describes the data security and data protection practices, processes and technology that Talenom uses to protect its customers’ data. The policy applies to Talenom’s website, digital services targeted at customers and the production systems for financial management services.

 

Data protection principles

Talenom’s data protection principles include communicating the purpose of data processing and the criteria for making data processing legitimate, protecting the data by technical, administrative and physical means, as well as providing the statutory right of access and right to request changes to the data.

 

Limitations

This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, applications or services that may be available through the additional services of partners offered as part of Talenom’s services. By opening a partner website, the customer exits Talenom’s service, in which case a third party can collect and share information about the customer. Talenom recommends that before agreeing to the collection and use of his or her personal data in any third-party service, the customer should always review the data protection practices of the service in question.

Processing of personal data on behalf of the controller

In some of its services, Talenom will process personal data on behalf of a customer. In such cases, the customer is the controller of the personal data Register thus created and Talenom is the processor of personal data as referred to in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The measures related to the processing of personal data are always agreed on a case-by-case basis with the customer, using the description of the measures for processing personal data included in this document: Statement of Processing operations.

 

Technical protection of data Registers

Data contained in personal data Registers that are processed electronically are protected by digital means: using firewalls and passwords, offering Talenom’s customers two-factor authentication to the customer information systems and using other technical means generally accepted in the security industry. Data transfer between the customer and Talenom is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology in the following Talenom services: Talenom Online, Talenom App, Mezo and Talenom Link, Talenom Kevytyrittäjä and Tilijaska. Data are backed up regularly and backups are stored in a separate location from the primary data.

 

Talenom conducts internal and third-party assessments that cover both the technical security of critical information systems and the processes and guidelines related to administrative data security and data protection.

 

Administrative protection of data registers

Talenom has an information security policy that every new employee must read through when joining Talenom. Employees are informed of the existence and location of the information security policy, and reminded of its binding nature, at regular information security training sessions. The information security policy describes the general rules for information security and data protection that are binding on employees, including technical rules, information security processes, as well as practices and guidelines applicable to daily work.

 

The information contained in the registers is accessible to Talenom’s employees and to employees of companies operating on Talenom’s behalf based on access rights granted to them.

 

The access rights of users are monitored regularly, and the user access management policy prohibits the creation of dangerous combinations of access rights. The access rights of the administrators of various systems, in particular, are reviewed regularly and removed when the user no longer needs them. The access rights of departing employees will be deleted from all systems at the termination of employment.

 

Customer data are only processed by the employee assigned to that particular task. Processing customer data on any other grounds is prohibited, even if the employee has technical access to the data due to his or her role or for business reasons.

 

All Talenom employees, and any external persons operating on behalf of Talenom, are bound to secrecy regarding all customer and personal data held by Talenom. The obligation of secrecy is specified in the employment contracts of Talenom employees and agreements concluded with third parties.

 

Physical protection of data registers

Customer data are processed in information systems located in a data center in Finland or in cloud services within the European Union. In the data centers located in Finland, the most important production systems have been duplicated and placed in two physically separate data centers  to keep the data safe and secure the continuity of service under normal and emergency conditions. The data centers have certified security practices, access control and supervision in place maintained by the service provider.

 

The e-mail service used for customer communications and the systems for statistics on the use of digital customer systems are located on servers in the United States and are protected by those service providers in accordance with European Union data protection legislation. Statistical data in digital systems do not contain personally identifiable information.

 

Materials that are maintained manually are located on premises that have access control to prevent unauthorized access. The most important premises also have video surveillance, enabling the investigation and verification of possible breaches of physical security.

  3. right to erasure
  4. right to restriction of processing
  5. right to data portability

 

These rights apply to personal data stored in Talenom’s information systems.

One example of such legislation is the Accounting Act, which governs the storage of payroll documents, irrespective of the rights of data subjects specified in the General Data Protection Regulation.

 

If a data subject wishes to access or rectify his or her personal data contained in a data register owned by a customer of Talenom, the data subject must submit a request to the controller to access or rectify the data. The controller will then handle the request with the processor, i.e. Talenom. In such cases, the controller must submit a written request by email to: tietosuoja[at]talenom.fi

 

The request for access or rectify the data must specify the personal data that the data subject wants to access and provide the name of the data register concerned.

 

Communicating personal data breaches

The controller will inform the data subject of a personal data breach if the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of the data subject. The notification will describe the nature of the personal data breach and the measures taken, as provided by law.

 

In cases where the personal data breach concerns personal data contained in a personal data register owned by a customer of Talenom, the customer is responsible for informing the data subjects. The controller must be informed of the breach without undue delay. The notification must describe the nature of the personal data breach and the measures taken, as provided by law.

 

The data protection authorities must be informed of a personal data breach within 72 hours of its discovery if the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of the natural person. The notification is made in accordance with the  current guidelines of the Data Protection Ombudsman

Data are backed up regularly and backups are stored in a separate location from the original data.

 

The Supplier will protect the customer’s data from unauthorised use and distribution. Only identified employees of the Supplier and the employees of companies operating on behalf of the Supplier have access to the data contained in the register, based on access rights granted to them. The access rights of users are monitored, and the user access management policy prohibits the creation of dangerous combinations of access rights. The creation of such combinations is monitored as part of access rights management. The access rights of the administrators of various systems, in particular, are reviewed regularly and removed when the user no longer needs them. The access rights of departing employees are deleted from all systems at the termination of employment.

 

Customer data are only processed by the employee assigned to that particular task. Processing personal data on any other grounds is prohibited, even if the employee has
technical access to the data due to his or her role or for business reasons. All the Supplier’s employees, and any external persons operating on behalf of the Supplier, are bound to secrecy regarding all the Customer’s financial management and personal data. The obligation of secrecy, including sanctions, is specified in the employment contracts of theSupplier’s employees and the agreements concluded with third parties.

 

Employees who process the Customer’s data receive regular training, a key part of which is the criteria for making data processing legitimate.

Customer data are processed in information systems located in a data center in Finland or in cloud services within the European Union. In the data centers located in Finland, the most important production systems have been duplicated and placed in two physically separate data centers so as to keep the data safe and secure the continuity of service under normal and emergency conditions. The data centers have certified security practices, access control and supervision in place maintained by the service provider.

 

Materials that are maintained manually are located on premises that have access control to prevent unauthorised access. The most important premises also have video surveillance, enabling the investigation and verification of possible breaches of physical security.

 

The Supplier will conduct internal and third-party assessments that cover both the technical security of critical information systems and the processes and guidelines related to administrative data security and data protection.

 

For their own part, the Customer is responsible for implementing and maintaining adequate technical and organisational security measures.

Rights of data subjects

The controller will describe the matters that are communicated to data subjects in a separate document created by the controller. In accordance with Articles 15 to 22 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, data subjects have the following rights:
• right of access to personal data
• right to rectification
• right to erasure
• right to restriction of processing
• right to data portabilit

 

These rights apply to personal data stored in Talenom’s information systems. Certain rights of data subjects are restricted by other legislation, based on which Talenom has the right and obligation to legitimately refuse to rectify or erase data, restrict processing or transmit data from one system to another. One example of such legislation is the Accounting Act, which governs the storage of payroll documents, irrespective of the rights of data subjects specified in the General Data Protection Regulation.

 

If a data subject wishes to access or rectify his or her personal data contained in a data register owned by a customer of Talenom, the data subject must submit a request to the controller to access or rectify the data. The controller will then handle the request with the processor, i.e. Talenom. In such cases, the controller must submit a written request by email to: tietosuoja[at]talenom.fi

 

Controller’s instructions for processor

The Customer can draw up more detailed data processing instructions for the processor that the Supplier will keep in customer-specific folders and that will form part of the customerspecific instructions.

 

Communicating personal data breaches

To the controller
The controller will be informed of a personal data breach without undue delay. The notification will describe the nature of the personal data breach and the measures taken, as provided by law.

 

To the data subject
The controller will inform the data subject of a personal data breach if the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of the data subject. The notification will describe the nature of the personal data breach and the measures taken, as provided by law.

 

To the supervisory authority
It is the responsibility of the controller to notify the information security authorities within 72 hours of the disclosure if the data protection breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of a natural person. Talenom will assist the controller in making the notification, upon a separate request. The notification is made in accordance with the current guidelines of the Data Protection Ombudsman.
