YTK Worklife register of members 

The processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(c) and (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679). The processing of personal data is necessary to maintain YTK Worklife's register of members and provide members’ benefits.

In principle, the processing of personal data is based on YTK Worklife's legal obligation to maintain a register of members and the provision of members’ benefits pursuant to agreement. YTK Worklife can process your personal data if other legislation requires it, such as those based on the obligation to retain accounting material pursuant to the Accounting Act. YTK Worklife has certain legitimate interests related to carrying out its activities, such as developing the activities further and investigating possible abuses, and your personal data can also be processed on this basis. 

The purpose of the register is the management of up-to-date personal data of members during their membership, maintaining and developing the register, marketing, direct marketing, and management of the documentation of terminated memberships in a personal data system. 

As a rule, we process the personal data of our members.

YTK Worklife records customer service calls in order to ensure the rights of the parties related to using the service. These recordings can also be used to improve the quality of customer service. The recording is carried out in a way that ensures data security, and the recordings are not used for other purposes or disclosed to external parties.

Personal data is primarily collected from the admission form that each member submits when joining YTK Worklife. In addition, when YTK Worklife updates the contact details of its members, data are also retrieved from the Population Information System and Posti. With regard to the mutual members of the YTK Unemployment Fund and YTK Worklife, the membership and contact information is processed and received between the parties based on the consent given by the member for the purpose of providing membership benefits to members pursuant to agreement.

At YTK Worklife, the right of the personnel to process the personal data of members is determined by the authorisation for use in accordance with the description of duties of the member of personnel. External service providers authorised by YTK Worklife can also process personal data to a limited extent. They process data for and on behalf of YTK Worklife. A binding agreement on processing has been drawn up by the parties, which takes the requirements concerning data protection and obligation of secrecy into account. The ownership of data is not transferred from YTK Worklife to the third party, and the third party does not have the right to use the data for purposes outside the assignment.

YTK Worklife may share your personal data by order of a Court or a similar body.

With regard to the mutual members of the YTK Unemployment Fund and YTK Worklife, the membership and contact information is processed and received between the parties based on the consent given by the member.

In principle, information is not transferred outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. In some situations, YTK Worklife may use resources and servers around the world while providing services. Therefore, YTK Worklife may transfer your personal data outside the country, in which the services are used, and possibly also to countries outside the EU and EEA, where the legislation does not provide special protection for personal data or where the legislation on data protection is very different. In these cases, YTK Worklife ensures that there is a legal basis for the transfer of information and that the personal data of the user is protected in accordance with the applicable legislation by using (if necessary), for instance, standard agreements approved by the appropriate authorities and requiring compliance with the appropriate technical and practical data protection measures.

YTK Worklife processes your personal data in this register as long as YTK Worklife has a valid basis for processing the data as described in section 4 of this privacy statement, as well as for a reasonable period afterwards.

YTK Worklife only collects personal data that is necessary and required for the purpose of processing. Data is not collected or stored in any larger amounts or for any longer time than required for this purpose.

Secure maintenance and disposal of the data storage media used for the processing of personal data guarantee that unauthorised third parties will not gain access to personal data. The IT hardware and data network are physically protected and located in locked and supervised premises. The data network is protected with a firewall and other technical means.

Only persons authorised by the controller have access to the register. Access to data, software and systems is limited by technical means (username, password) to persons that handle the duties of the unemployment fund. Access to premises where confidential information is processed or archived is only permitted to persons who need to access the premises to carry out their duties. The outer doors of the production premises are covered by a surveillance system. The employees are supervised through an access control system. The register users are bound by non-disclosure agreement and therefore must not pass on the data they process.

As the data subject, you have several options for influencing how your personal data is processed. We will respond to requests as soon as possible, within one month at the latest. If we need more time, we will contact you during the month. We ask you to contact the contact person mentioned in section 1 of the privacy statement with regard to exercising your rights.

The access request must state in detail what information and during which period the person wants to access. As a rule, the access request is free of charge once per year.

b) Right to demand the rectification of incorrect personal data collected about you

If you notice any errors or deficiencies in your information, you can submit a rectification request to us.

c) Right to request the erasure of your personal data

In this case, the processing of your data will be limited to storage until the correctness of the data can be established, or until it is assured that our legitimate interests override your interests.
