The purpose of processing data in the general administration personal data register is to conduct Diak’s general administration, decision-making and management of affairs. An additional purpose of the data processing is to manage of Diak’s agreements, contracts and archives.

Processing the general administration register is based on a legal obligation (Universities of Applied Sciences Act, Limited Liability Companies Act, Administration Act, Administrative Procedure Act, Act on the Openness of Government Activities, Accounting Act, Archives Act, etc.), contracts and legitimate interest. The legitimate interest is to make decisions, document the history of Diak, and ensure due process for the organisation.

The general administration personal data register contains data about Diak’s current and past staff, administration and students, as well as data about Diak’s external partners.

Personal data was provided by the data subject themselves.

The general administration personal data register includes the following personal data:

• Names, contact details and organisational details of current and past employees and administration of Diak.
• Names, contact details and organisational details of contracting parties.
• Names and contact details of persons involved in Diak’s activities.

Data in the general administration personal data register is stored for a period specified in the information management plan. Additionally, some of the data has been assigned for permanent storage. Permanently stored materials are dictated by the National Archives of Finland.

Digital materials: Using the data requires personal access rights, which are granted only to persons whose job is connected to processing this data. Diak’s systems are protected using both administrative and technical means: with personal user IDs, limitations of access rights and IT measures.
Paper materials: Paper materials are stored in locked rooms and cabinets. After the storage period ends, paper materials will be taken to a locked bin (“data protection bin”) for disposal.

Personal data will not be disclosed outside of Diak, but Diak may contract external companies, who will process the personal data. An external processor may be an IT system supplier, for instance.

Systems using the register do not have automatic decision-making functions.

Data will not be transferred outside the EU/EEA.

Data is transferred or disclosed outside the EU/EEA, where and to whom:

As a rule, the personal data contained in the register is not transferred outside the European Union or the European Economic Area or to international organisations. However, due to the international nature of the operations, Diak may use resources, applications and servers located outside the EU or EEA when providing the services. In these cases, Diak ensures that there is a legal basis for the transfer of data and that personal data is protected, for example by requiring standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission and compliance with appropriate technical and organizational security measures. In addition, where appropriate, a TIA assessment will be carried out in connection with such data transfer, as well as monitoring the overall level of data protection in known countries. In all cases, the data transfer is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and only to the extent strictly necessary.

You have the right to information on how and for what purpose your personal data will be processed. You can also request access to records of your personal data, and request that incorrect information be rectified.

You can also submit a request to delete your data or restrict its use. However, in some cases the data cannot be deleted or its use restricted, for example if the personal data is being processed to fulfil a legal obligation, complete a task in the public interest orexercise public authority vested in Diak.

In certain situations, you also have the right to transfer the personal data you have provided to us to another controller or to object to the processing of your personal data, i.e. to request that we do not process them at all. In addition, you may request that we do not make a decision on your part based solely on automated processing of personal data.
