Processing personal data as described in this privacy policy may be a prerequisite for entering into and fulfilling an agreement between the customer and Verkkokauppa.com. Except for browsing products and leaving reviews, our online store platform's functionalities cannot be used without creating a user account—meaning Verkkokauppa.com must process the data defined as core customer data. Furthermore, if you place an order, you must provide certain personal data in addition to core customer data so that we can process and deliver your order. If you do not provide the requested personal data in these contexts, we will be unable to provide the requested service, from account creation to order fulfillment.
The primary source of data is the customer. In addition, we may receive information from our partners, such as credit service providers. We will notify you of any personal data received from third parties in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) during our first contact or within one month of receiving the data. For B2B sales, we may collect public information about companies and their decision-makers from third parties, such as the Business Information System (YTJ) maintained by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office, or other similar services.
