6. Purposes of Processing Personal Data

Personal data is processed for the provision of the JVA Turva service and for the occupational safety activities of Jyväskylän Vuokra-asunnot Oy.

Personal data is processed in particular for the following purposes:

JVA Turva includes occupational safety-related forms that users can complete in the application.

Completed forms are stored in the JVA Turva system. The information stored with each form includes the identity of the user who completed the form and the answers provided by the user.

The information contained in the forms is used for the implementation, monitoring and documentation of occupational safety activities by Jyväskylän Vuokra-asunnot Oy.

Users should avoid entering unnecessary personal data in free-text fields.

8. Processing of Location Data

JVA Turva uses the device’s location data only when the user initiates an SOS alert.

The purpose of processing location data is to enable the user who initiated the alert to be located and to facilitate the provision of necessary assistance.

The GPS location obtained in connection with an SOS alert is stored in the JVA Turva system as part of the relevant SOS alert event. The alert event also contains information identifying the user who initiated the alert and the timestamp of the alert.

The application does not continuously track the user’s location and does not collect location data outside SOS alert events. The application does not create a continuous history of the user’s movements or locations.

9. Disclosure of Personal Data

When an SOS alert is initiated, the information necessary for handling the alert is transmitted to Securitas Oy, which is responsible for handling SOS alerts generated through the JVA Turva service.

The information transmitted may include information necessary to identify the user, information concerning the SOS alert, the time of the alert, and the GPS location obtained in connection with the alert.

Persons authorized by Jyväskylän Vuokra-asunnot Oy may have access, according to their assigned access rights, to user information, completed occupational safety forms, form responses and SOS alert information.

Aware Applications Oy processes personal data stored in the service on behalf of Jyväskylän Vuokra-asunnot Oy to the extent necessary for the technical implementation and maintenance of the service.

Personal data is not sold to third parties or disclosed for advertising or direct marketing purposes.

10. Push Notifications

JVA Turva may send users push notifications related to the operation of the service.

Push notifications are used only for communications related to the JVA Turva service and its occupational safety functions. They are not used for advertising or direct marketing.

11. Data Retention

Personal data related to a user account is retained for as long as the user has access to the JVA Turva service or for as long as retention is otherwise necessary for the purposes of the service, occupational safety documentation, or applicable legal or contractual obligations.

Occupational safety forms completed by users, together with the associated user information and responses, are stored in the JVA Turva system.

SOS alert events are stored in the JVA Turva system. Stored alert events include information identifying the user who initiated the alert, the timestamp of the event, and the GPS location obtained in connection with the alert.

A user account may also be deleted by a person authorized for this purpose by Jyväskylän Vuokra-asunnot Oy.

Deletion of a user account does not necessarily result in the immediate deletion of all historical event and form data associated with the user. Information relating to previous SOS alerts and completed occupational safety forms may be retained where retention is necessary for occupational safety documentation, contractual obligations, legal claims or applicable legal obligations.

If information has been transmitted to Securitas Oy in connection with the handling of an SOS alert, such information may be processed and retained by Securitas Oy in accordance with its applicable obligations.
