Customer relationship management

The legal basis for processing personal data for customer relationship management, managing donor and supporter relations, and keeping in contact with partners is either JNS’s legitimate interest or to enable JNS to implement agreements.

In connection with customer relationship management, the primary purpose of processing personal data is to carry out business transactions between the customer and JNS, for example, when you make a donation or order products from the Foundation’s online store. Personal data can be processed for purposes such as invoicing, customer service, product delivery or collecting overdue invoices.

In connection with the management of donor and partner relations, we also process personal data for publishing the information specified by the donor in a public donor register or providing information about how donations have been used.

Competitions and prize draws

Within the framework of our activities, we organise a variety of competitions and prize draws on our website, in our communication channels (such as social media) and on our partners’ premises. In this case, the legal basis for the processing of your personal data is JNS’s legitimate interest in running promotional prize draws and/or competitions, and sending associated communications or carrying out other related activities after you have entered a competition or prize draw arranged by us, or when you have given us your permission to publish content submitted at exhibitions, on our website, or in another of our communication channels (including social media). When you enter a prize draw, we may ask for your consent to direct digital marketing.

Direct marketing

We may process your personal data for direct marketing purposes and to target marketing, in which case the legal basis for processing data is JNS’s legitimate interest. In this case, we may contact you by phone or letter in order to market things such as fundraisers or activities. You have the right to prohibit the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time.

Direct digital marketing

We process your personal data for direct digital marketing with your consent. In this case, we may contact you by email in order to market things such as fundraisers or activities. Our direct digital marketing also includes our newsletter, which contains information about progress on JNS’s projects and other current topics that we believe will be of interest to you.

We may also send direct digital marketing on the basis of an earlier customer relationship or an authorisation based on your position. In this case, the legal basis for processing your personal data is JNS’s legitimate interest.

Based on our legitimate interest, your personal data may also be used for profiling, for example, for marketing purposes. JNS does not make any automated decisions that would have legal implications.

At any time, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of direct marketing or profiling for direct marketing.

We also use cookies and other similar technologies on our website and in our newsletters, to ensure the functionality of our website, to develop and improve our user experience, and to target relevant marketing.

These include Posti’s consumer register update service, Suomen Asiakastieto Oy’s decision-maker register and Profinder’s corporate and consumer information registers.

In addition, we collect personal information using cookies and other similar technologies on our website and in our newsletters.

6. Will your personal data be disclosed or transferred to third parties?

We only transfer your personal data when it is necessary to carry out one of the aforementioned purposes.

When JNS administers pages on Facebook and Instagram, JNS and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd (“Facebook”) are the joint controllers of JNS’s Facebook and Instagram pages, as applicable. Your personal data will be used for purposes such as keeping you informed about JNS’s work/events and how donations have been used; running competitions and prize draws; marketing and collecting feedback; purchasing and measuring the performance of Facebook advertisements; and better targeting communications. The legal basis for processing your personal data is JNS’s legitimate interest.

JNS collects data through its Facebook and Instagram pages in the form of, for example, likes and other reactions, comments, visits, post visibility, and personal data submitted in connection with competitions. The information that JNS receives from Facebook is the person’s user name, public profile picture, and any other data that has been marked as public. Data subjects may provide other personal data in comments on social media pages or via messaging services.

Where applicable, we are also joint controllers with Facebook with respect to the cookies used in Facebook’s social media plugins and certain services relating to Facebook’s advertising networks. You can read more about cookies and social media plugins in our Cookie Policy.

In Facebook’s privacy policy, you can read how and on what legal basis Facebook processes your data, and how you can exercise your rights under data protection legislation. We have signed a joint controller agreement with Facebook that describes JNS’s and Facebook’s responsibilities with respect to the data we collect. Please note that if you wish to exercise your rights under data protection legislation with respect to data processed by Facebook, you should contact Facebook.

You can restrict the processing of your personal data by unliking and/or unfollowing a page. You can also request a conversation to be deleted from a messaging service. You can also choose not to accept non-essential cookies when you visit our website, or withdraw your previously given consent.

8. How is your personal data processed and protected?

JNS processes your personal data only for the aforementioned purposes and only for the purposes for which the data was originally collected. The protection of your personal data is important to us, and we comply with both good data management practices and the due diligence and obligations laid down in Data Protection Legislation. We adhere to generally accepted technical and organisational measures to prevent any unauthorised or unlawful processing or misuse of personal data, and to protect personal data from loss, alteration or deletion. The electronically processed personal data contained in the register is protected by means of firewalls, passwords and other technical means that are generally used and accepted in the information security industry. Workstations and IT systems are protected using personal usernames and passwords. Our workstations also utilise two-factor authentication. Manually maintained material is located in facilities to which unauthorised access is prevented. Access to the personal data contained in the register is granted only to designated employees of the Foundation or of an enterprise acting for or on behalf of the Foundation, and only to the extent that is required to carry out the task at hand. Our employees have signed a non-disclosure agreement.

9. For how long will your personal data be retained?

We comply with statutory retention periods, and will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary, and to the extent that is required, to carry out the purposes for which the personal data is being processed as defined in this Privacy Policy (for example, for the duration of a contractual term).

10. What are your rights as a data subject?

As a data subject, you have the following rights with regard to your personal data in the customer and supporter register:

– The right to access and verify your data: You have the right to receive confirmation from us about whether or not your personal data is being processed; and if your personal data is being processed, you have the right to access and verify all of the personal data being held about you in the customer and supporter register.
– The right to correct, delete and restrict the processing of your data: You have the right to require us to correct any inaccurate, unnecessary, incomplete or outdated personal data without undue delay. You have the right to request us to delete any of your personal data that is no longer required for the purpose for which it was originally collected or processed, or if you suspect that your personal data is being processed illegally, or if your personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation (that applies to the controller). You also have the right to request a restriction on the processing of your data. Please note that deleting or restricting the use of your personal data may, for instance, result in a deterioration in your customer service experience, that you can no longer be a monthly donor, or that you no longer receive our newsletters or information on our project progress.
– The right to object to the processing of your data: When the basis for processing personal data is JNS’s legitimate interest, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data with respect to a specific personal situation. The exception to this is when JNS can demonstrate that there is a very important and justified reason that overrides the data subject’s interests, or if processing is necessary for the preparation, presentation or defence of a legal claim. However, you always have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling) without any justification. Please note that objecting to the processing of your personal data may, for instance, result in a deterioration in your customer service experience, that you can no longer be a monthly donor, or that you no longer receive our newsletters or information on our project progress.
– The right to transfer data from one system to another: You have the right to transfer the personal data you supplied to JNS to another controller. This transfer right covers automatically processed personal data whose processing is based on your consent or an agreement to which you are a party. JNS will send the data in a machine-readable and commonly used format to you, and will also send the data directly to the other controller if this is technically possible.
– The right to withdraw consent: If your personal data is being processed on the basis of your consent, you may withdraw your consent to such processing at any time by contacting us.

If you would like to exercise any of the rights described above, would like to receive more information about the processing of your personal data, or have any comments on its processing, you can contact us at any time by sending an email to rekisteri(a)jnfoundation.fi.
