4. Regular data sources

The personal data of Senate employees comes from Senate’s HR information system automatically, and the data on Defence Properties Finlands personnel comes from Defence Properties Finlands HR information system.

Data on persons from outside Senate Group is obtained from the users themselves if they register in the system using an email. If a user registers using VIRTU, the data is stored in the system automatically (except for the phone number, which the user stores in the system themselves). The controllers register some external persons centrally (when the user gains access to the internal network). Users may then supplement their information.

The data is available to administrators and the service provider’s designated operators to use in order to provide the service.

The data in the system is protected using normally available protection methods. The system can only be used with a personal username and password. Access to personal data is restricted to persons who have a justified need for it based on their agreed work duties. Users can only see their own data in the system. The designated administrators of Senate and the service provider have more extensive rights to access the data.

8. Data retention period and the criteria for determining it

Every three months, the service provider erases the data on persons who have not used the system for two years.

In addition, data subjects have the right to file a complaint with the supervisory authority (Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman, Article 14(2)(e)).
