INFORMATION ON RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data is processed by employees of Stockmann or its partners whose duties require them to process such data. They are bound by a secrecy obligation.

Customer register data will not be disclosed to any party outside the Stockmann Group, except in cases described below, unless so required by law or in matters concerning acquisitions, restructuring or debt collection.

The holder of the principal card of a MyStockmann customer account is entitled to view the final sums of purchases registered on parallel cards. The holder of the principal card is not entitled to product-level information on purchases registered on parallel cards. The holder of a parallel card is not entitled to information on purchases registered on the principal card or on other parallel cards of the same account.

 

Customer data may be disclosed to partners in the following situations:

– In the case of Stockmann MasterCard holders, Stockmann will disclose to the Nordea Group the customers contact information and data on their MyStockmann customer category and validity;

– Customer data can be disclosed to providers of payment services such as banks, credit institutions and other payment service providers such as ePassi Payments Oy when necessary to provide a service.

– Data included in customer feedback may be disclosed to tenants operating in Stockmann’s department stores and real estate when the feedback concerns the tenant in question.

– When the customer purchases a gift card from a service desk in a department store for, for instance, Haikko Manor, Royal Restaurants, Långvik or Naantali Spa, the customer’s data is registered in the gift voucher sales system (the service provider is PK Verkkotaito Oy), through which the data will be passed to the target company.

– The customer’s name and contact details and the information associated with a service order may be disclosed to the service company in conjunction with the servicing of an electrical appliance or other product. The service company is only entitled to use the data for providing repair service to the customer.

In order to offer services, Stockmann operates as the processor of personal data on behalf of many partners that operate as controllers. Such partners include the Finnish National Opera and Ballet, Posti, Lippupiste, Ticketmaster, Tiketti, Global Blue Finland, Premier e Tax Free Oy, Helsinki Regional Transport Authority, Tampere Regional Transport and Turku Region Traffic Föli.

In addition to Stockmann, customers’ personal data is processed by Stockmann’s service providers and partners on behalf of and in accordance with Stockmann’s instructions. These subcontractors include providers of IT services responsible for the technical maintenance of systems and partners that participate in the delivery process of Stockmann’s products and services. Stockmann’s partners include transport companies, suppliers of security services, tenants in the sales departments of the department stores, and online store and campaign suppliers who deliver products and services directly to customers. When personal data is processed on behalf of Stockmann, the partner is bound by a secrecy obligation imposed by Stockmann and the partner is not entitled to disclose the data to a third party or use it for any other purpose than to carry out an order from Stockmann.

The key recipients and/or processors of Stockmann’s personal data are:

– Partners, e.g. Finnair

Whenever possible, Stockmann will process personal data primarily within the EU and the EEA. Personal data is considered to have been transmitted outside the EU and EEA in the provision of IT services when the personal data can be accessed from a country outside the EU or the EEA. For this kind of data transfer, an agreement is concluded with the service providers in compliance with the standard contractual clauses confirmed by the European Commission, or the receiving country has an adequate level of data protection in accordance with a decision of the European Commission, or the company processing the data has implemented Binding Corporate Rules, or there exist lawful grounds for transferring the data, such as the Privacy Shield framework between the EU and the United States. Servers containing customers’ personal data can be accessed from outside the EEA from the United States (Salesforce Marketing Cloud) and from India (Tech Mahindra). Oracle processes data globally.

Commission decisions concerning standard contractual clauses are available here.

Certain authorities also have a statutory right to receive data. Such authorities include the police, the customs authorities, the border control authorities and the tax administration.

 

RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH A SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

If in your opinion we are not processing your personal data in accordance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, you are entitled to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the EU Member State in which you have permanent residence or employment or where you consider the violation to have occurred. In Finland, complaints are lodged with the Data Protection Ombudsman.

DATA THAT IS NECESSARY FOR SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP 

In order to offer you MyStockmann customer and delivery benefits and services, or benefits and services referred to in another agreement, we must process personal data that is necessary to implement the relevant agreements.

Necessary data associated with MyStockmann customers are name, contact information, date of birth, gender, purchase data, transaction language and, when registering as a customer in the online store, telephone number and e-mail address. We need this data to be able to accumulate your purchases, to ensure that you stay abreast of the benefits that you are entitled to and of the changes to the MyStockmann customer programme, and to adapt our selection for our customers. You can read the terms and conditions of the MyStockmann customer programme here.

To deliver orders made in the online store, we need the customer’s name, address, telephone number, date of birth and data on the payment transaction.

If you want to have your MyStockmann customer data in your Stockmann mobile app, you must enter your MyStockmann customer number in the application.

To offer Stockmann’s services, including the fashion, interior, gift, tailoring and sewing services and cosmetics consultation, we need your contact information and the information required by each service, such as measurements and gift wishes.

Consent to electronic marketing is not necessary data but without it we cannot send you the newsletter that is part of electronic direct marketing.

Stockmann is entitled to interrupt the provision of services or offering of products or prevent access to services to customers who do not provide information essential to a service or demands its erasure.

 

INFORMATION ON AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING AND PROFILING

Profiling means the processing of personal data where the data is used to evaluate some of your personal aspects. We profile customers to target marketing and invitations to events. In our opinion the profiling conducted by Stockmann does not have the legal effects referred to in the regulation or other material effects on the target of the profiling.

In addition, we profile online store customers who prefer to pay by invoice or using commodity-specific one-time credit. Such profiling constitutes assessment of the credit applicant’s creditworthiness as required by law and necessary under law for the purpose of an agreement between the credit applicant and provider or for its implementation. In such an event the controller must take action warranted to protect the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject; at minimum, this applies to the right to demand that the data is processed by a natural person on behalf of the controller and to express an opinion and to dispute a decision.

Stockmann’s partner and service provider in invoicing and installment payment services in Stockmann.com and Crazy Days (Hullut Päivät) -webstores is Norion Bank AB. The creditor in invoice and installment payment matters is Norion Bank AB, which is Walley’s independent registrar for customers who choose to pay through invoice or by installments.

As a data subject you are entitled to object to profiling that is based on the controller’s legitimate interest on the grounds of a particular personal reason. You can also at any time object to profiling that is carried out to target direct marketing.

 

YOUR DATA IS NOT USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE

We will not use your data for other purposes than those declared in this document. Should new uses later emerge that are compatible with the uses for which the data was originally collected, we will inform you of the new uses and associated legal grounds for processing. If needed, we will request your consent to process your personal data for new purposes.

 

DATA OBTAINED FROM SOURCES OTHER THAN YOU

We update address and change of name data and prohibitions of addressed direct marketing (Posti-Robinson) based on data from our partners such as the Population Register Centre if the data subject has not prohibited the disclosure of the data.

Data on MyStockmann customers’ accumulated purchases are collected from the following sources: Nordea provides data on the total sum of purchases registered on Stockmann MasterCards outside of Stockmann; the insurance company Chubb provides information on Stockmann insurance taken out by the customer and of the amount of paid insurance premiums.

If you register your MyStockmann customer card when you make purchases, Stockmann’s partners will provide Stockmann with data on the purchase (date, sum and place of purchase).

In addition, we collect data from the following sources: Suomen Asiakastieto Oy credit data register; feedback systems of shopping centres and feedback received by partners and tenants insofar as they concern Stockmann; data from Lindorff Oy on the termination of collection in the case of invoices that Lindorff has been assigned to collect.

 

EFFECTS OF THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

Stockmann is committed to protecting its customers’ privacy and ensuring safe processing of personal data in accordance with the requirements of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and other applicable laws.

We protect our business locations, IT systems and the data on the users of the services we provide with appropriate technical and administrative information security solutions and we develop our protection methods continuously. User and access rights related to the processing of personal data are personal and their scope is determined on the basis of the user’s job duties.

We develop our personnel’s competence in matters related to data protection. We also strive to make sure that the personnel of our partners understand the importance of confidentiality and safety when processing personal data.

We monitor transactions involving processing of personal data, react to any deviations detected and strive to prevent any damage caused by such deviations. If, despite all our protection efforts, your personal data falls into the wrong hands, it is possible that, as with other services involving the processing of personal data, a third party may misuse your personal data. We will inform the appropriate authorities and the data subjects of any data protection breaches in the manner required by law.

We assess data protection risks regularly as part of Stockmann’s risk management process.
