How do we handle donor data?
The controller of donor data is Digitaalisen itsenäisyyden puolesta ry. We store your name, your phone number and the amount and time of the donation. We receive the data from MobilePay when you donate.
We use the data for the association’s bookkeeping and for disclosures required by the Act on a Candidate’s Election Funding. A donation reveals your political views, so we use the data only for these purposes. The data is seen by the association’s board and by Lauri Lavanti, who files the election finance disclosure. We do not share the data with anyone else unless the law requires it. We do not use the data for marketing.
We keep the data for as long as the Accounting Act requires, which is six years from the end of the financial year.
MobilePay processes the payment data under its own terms.
You have the right to access your data and to ask for incorrect data to be corrected. More information on your rights is available from the Data Protection Ombudsman.
How do I give feedback or make a complaint?
Send feedback or complaints by email to lauri@lavanti.fi. We reply within two weeks.
If you believe the processing of your data breaches data protection law, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman.
