How is my information stored and protected?
All customer information is located in a secure data center in encrypted databases to which access is restricted. The technical and process security of data centers and trading systems is at a very high level. Servers are protected against hacking and denial of service attacks. We follow good data protection practices in the processing of personal data and technical solutions.

Our staff sees and processes customer information only to the extent necessary to perform their duties. We use trusted contractors to transfer information to a third party. Agreements with all partners have taken into account the requirements of the EU Data Protection Regulation and other legislation. Partners are not permitted to use or redistribute the information for their own purposes.

 

How long will my data be stored?
We will only retain your personal information for the time necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this statement. In addition, some information may be retained longer to the extent necessary to fulfill statutory obligations, such as accounting and consumer trade responsibilities, and to demonstrate their proper implementation. At the customer's request, personal information about him may be deleted or anonymized. The deletion and anonymization process is irreversible, and we are unable to recover deleted customer accounts.

For some information, the legislation imposes obligations on the longer-term storage of information, e.g. for the following purposes:

Cookies
Suomen maaastovaruste uses cookies. Cookies are small text files between the browser and the server. Cookies and other tags have an expiration date, after which the browser deletes the tag. We use these technologies to implement functions, personalize them, and perform analytics and marketing targeting. Functional cookies e.g. customer identification, login maintenance, and Shopping Cart functions. Acceptance of the use of cookies for these functions is mandatory. Functional cookies set by the server remain in the browser for 15 minutes to 24 months, unless they are specifically deleted from the browser settings.

Tags that are associated with the customer in some way are also treated as personal information. The validity period of the tags used for analytics and marketing targeting is 30s-24 months. We utilize Google Analytics e.g. in analytics related to the use of our site, popular products, trends and sales.
