Processing of personal data
The purpose of the Privacy Policy is to protect personal data. Personal data means any information that can be used to identify a person directly or indirectly.
Traficom has a number of statutory obligations, which may involve the processing of personal data. If we process your personal data for compliance with a legal obligation, we do not need your explicit consent. Besides complying with legal obligations, Traficom also collects personal data with your consent for providing certain services. In such cases, we request your consent to process your data and you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
We process your personal data in accordance with legislation and good data processing practice. Traficom's Privacy Policy contains the principles and aims regarding the processing of personal data and the implementation of data protection in line with the EU GDPR and the Finnish Data Protection Act.
