In this respect, the lawful basis for the processing of personal data is the fulfillment of a contract (employment contract) and the fulfillment of legal obligations related to the employment relationship, sometimes also the consent of the employee.

Is it mandatory to provide personal data

The provision of personal data is a prerequisite, in particular, for the conclusion of a contract and the fulfillment of legal obligations. In an employment relationship, Tower Media needs personal information to the extent that it is able to fulfill its obligations under employment contracts and the law. For potential clients and job seekers, the provision of personal information is largely voluntary. However, incomplete information may affect how Tower Media can handle a contact request, for example.

Automated decision-making and profiling

Profiling refers to any automatic processing of personal data in which, for example, a person's interests are assessed using personal data. Tower Media may use profiling primarily to target digital advertising. Profiling aims to make content and marketing more relevant and personal. However, a person has the right to object to the processing of personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest (including profiling for marketing purposes). Profiling in the context of Tower Media marketing does not include automatic decision-making that would have legal or other similar effects on the individual.

Sources of personal data

Tower Media obtains personal information about customers and potential customers mainly from the person him-/herself, including in connection with contacts, contracts, customer meetings and other situations in which the customer discloses their information. Information about potential customers may also be obtained from service providers that provide marketing registers, such as Posti. In the context of digital marketing, personal information may also be collected and processed, for example, from website visitors.

Information about employees is obtained primarily from the individual and, with his or her consent, from others, such as recruitment agencies or referrers.

Information about shareholders is obtained from the shareholders themselves.

Processors of personal data, disclosures and confidentiality

Personal information will be processed by Tower Media personnel and Tower Media's subcontractors (eg, cloud service and server capacity providers) for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Statement. The data is maintained primarily in electronic form on the servers of third-party service providers. Tower Media may also use subcontractors in other areas such as digital marketing, CRM systems, financial management and invoicing. Subcontractors are contractual partners of Tower Media and are not entitled to use Tower Media's personal data for their own purposes. All personal information will be treated as confidential.

Otherwise, Tower Media may disclose personal information when required to do so by law, court or competent authority, in response to or in preparation for a legal claim, or if the person has consented to the disclosure. Tower Media may also disclose personal information if it is involved in a corporate or business transaction or other business or corporate arrangement.

However, Tower Media will always ensure that the transfer of personal data outside the EU takes place using adequate safeguards as required by data protection law. This may mean, for instance, transferring personal data to a country approved by the EU Commission with adequate data protection or by concluding standard contractual clauses on the transfer of personal data published by the EU Commission.

How personal data is stored and protected

Personal data is stored almost exclusively in electronic form and is protected in accordance with general industry standards. Tower Media will not use the personal information for any other purpose or disclose the information other than as described in this privacy statement. Tower Media's physical premises are also well protected and locked.
