Data generated from network use and communication services and location data
When you use our communication services, such as browsing the internet, sending e-mail, calling or receiving phone calls or text messages, we process the data needed for providing these services. This data includes the data necessary for providing communications services.
Traffic data is technical data that reveals e.g. the sender of the message, the recipient, the size of the message and the time it was sent.
This traffic data is saved in our systems and processing it is necessary in order to implement communication. We process traffic data in accordance with legislation as particularly confidential and only for purposes permitted by the law. The content of the message itself is not considered traffic data.
The content of your phone calls, text messages and other communication is confidential. It is only processed in order to transmit the message and only for as long as necessary in order to transmit the communication.
We save and process the traffic and location data in accordance with communications legislation for the delivery, invoicing and technical development of our services. The data may also be processed for marketing purposes with the customer’s consent. We also process such information in situations of misuse and troubleshooting, in order to ensure data security, invoicing of other service providers, and to fulfil our legal obligations.
Providing communication services requires processing your location data. Your location data is processed in mobile technology with the accuracy of cell tower information and in fixed data transfer with the accuracy of the installation address. This accuracy varies from metres to several kilometres. Processing the location data for another purpose than transmitting communication requires your advance consent. If the data concern a child of under 15 years old, this processing requires advance consent from a guardian. With the help of the location data, we can improve the properties of our services: for instance, when you order a taxi, the call can be connected to the nearest service provider. Location data also enables us to send targeted offers and deals.
In connection with emergency calls or due to authorities’ provisions, location data may be disclosed without your consent.
We retain traffic and location data for as long as it is necessary. The data shall be processed primarily automatically and only a limited number of persons are involved in processing the data. Some delivery data are kept for authorities’ needs in a manner required by communications legislation.
