Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Autoinspect processes personal data and what rights you have as a consumer in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679. Autoinspect is responsible for all processing of personal data within its operations.

What Personal Data Is Processed?

Autoinspect primarily processes personal data to provide the company’s services, such as vehicle inspections, emissions testing and vehicle registration services. Personal data is provided directly or indirectly in customer service situations, via the website, email or telephone. Information is also obtained from public authorities, such as the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency and the Tax Administration.

The information typically processed includes names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, Finnish personal identity codes and vehicle registration numbers. Billing and payment information, as well as customer numbers for corporate customers, may also be processed. During recruitment and employment, additional personal data relating to the employment relationship may be processed.

Other information that may be processed includes details of the customer relationship and interactions with Autoinspect on the website, IP addresses, device information, platform, language settings, and geographical and demographic data. Information about website usage is collected through cookies. For more information, please see Autoinspect’s Cookie Policy.

What Is Personal Data Used For?

Autoinspect processes personal data to maintain customer and service relationships, manage communications, provide services and comply with applicable legislation.

All personal data processed by Autoinspect is processed for one or more of the purposes listed above. Processing must also have a lawful basis, such as consent, a contract or a legal obligation. Only personal data necessary for the relevant purpose is processed.

Who Is Personal Data Shared With?

Autoinspect may share personal data with selected third parties under controlled conditions to ensure that the data is handled securely. These third parties may include service providers or public authorities to whom information is disclosed due to legal obligations or to maintain business operations.

Personal data is not sold or shared without a legitimate basis.

Where Is Personal Data Processed?

Autoinspect processes personal data exclusively within the EU/EEA.

How Long Is Personal Data Stored?

Autoinspect stores personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil its obligations and for as long as the data must be retained in accordance with statutory retention periods and other legal requirements, such as accounting obligations.

How Is Personal Data Protected?

Autoinspect protects personal data through appropriate technical and organisational measures. Access is restricted through login authentication to ensure that only authorised persons can access the data. Encryption is used where necessary.

Databases are protected by technical measures such as firewalls and passwords. Databases and backup copies are kept in locked premises and handled in accordance with data protection principles.

The level of protection applied to personal data is proportionate to the sensitivity of the information and the risks associated with its processing.

Your Rights

In accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to access the personal data Autoinspect processes about you and to request corrections if the information is inaccurate.

You also have the right to request the deletion of your personal data from Autoinspect’s systems if the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. However, in certain cases, legislation may require information to be retained, for example for accounting or tax purposes. In such cases, access to the information may be restricted so that it is available only for those purposes.

If your personal data is processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EU Member State where you reside, work or where the alleged infringement took place.
