11. Customer Profiling

The register holder can use the data for customer profiling. Customer profiling is achieved with the help of identifiers, with which the data generated by the service, concerning the subject of the data, can be combined. The resulting profile can be used, for example, for comparisons with other profiles created in a similar manner. The purpose of customer profiling is to examine the demand of products and services and customer behaviour.


12. Data Subject Right to Object to Handling of Data and Direct Marketing

The subject of the data has the right to object to customer profiling and other data handling activities which the register holder may perform using the subject’s data, so long as the basis for these data handling activities is the customer relationship between the subject of the data and the register holder. The subject of the data can present their objections by the means specified in this document’s article 14. (‘Contact’). The subject of the data will need to specify the particular instances which their objections are based on. The register holder can abstain from carrying out requests regarding objections on the basis of current laws and regulations. The subject of the data can at any time accept or withdraw their consent for the use of their data for direct marketing and customer profiling purposes.


13. Other Rights of the Subject of the Data

Right to Inspection

The subject of the data has the right to inspect what data concerning them has been stored in the register holder’s register. The request for inspection must be made according to this document’s article 14. (‘Contact’). The register holder can abstain from requests to inspect the data on the basis of current laws and regulations. Data inspection requests are usually free of charge when made only once a year.

The Right to Demand Correction of Data, Removal of Data or to Restrict its Use

The subjects of the data have the right to demand the correction of incorrect data, as well as the right to prohibit the use of their data for direct marketing or similar purposes. Such requests must be made according to this document’s article 14. (‘Contact’).
