• Data in documents included in our accounts are stored for seven years

5. What are your rights?

Right to information

You have the right to be informed of our processing of personal data and to obtain a copy of the data we process. If we are not processing your personal data, you also have a right to have this confirmed.

Right to rectification

You have the right to rectify or amend personal data that are inaccurate or incomplete according to the purpose of the processing.
Right to erasure
You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data from our register. Your personal data will be erased if we no longer have any legal ground to retain them.

Right to object

We may process your personal data as a part of our business operations to satisfy our legitimate interests once we have verified that the processing does not breach the protection of your privacy. In such situations, you have the right to object to the processing for personal reasons.
You may also at any time object to the processing of personal data for direct marketing.

Right to restriction of processing

You may have a right to restrict the processing of your personal data. When the processing has been restricted, the controller will only process your personal data by storing them.

6. How to exercise your rights

You can exercise your rights via [email protected]. When you make such a request, we will need to verify your identity.

7. Information about the recipients of personal data

As the controller, Kesko AB processes the personal data inhouse, but the company also cooperates with various service providers. Onninen, which is a part of Kesko AB, strives to only cooperate with the best partners and is responsible for its service providers’ activities related to the processing of personal data. Such service providers may vary but include:
• Providers of IT services
• Providers of logistics services
• Providers of payment services
• Providers of marketing services

Personal data are considered to be transferred outside of the EU and EES via our IT services partner, as they are given access to personal data in India. We have entered into an agreement with our service providers regarding the transfer of data, which are consistent with the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. These standard contractual clauses are available at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32010D0087

Certain authorities, such as the police, customs, border control and tax authorities, also have a statutory right to obtain personal data.
