In such a case, we will tell you in more detail about the data processing conjunction with a business purchase or another business transaction.

However, the use of certain services, such as participation in a campaign, processing a complaint, or purchasing products or services through an online service, requires that you submit your personal data. If you decide not to submit your personal data to us, we may be unable to provide all the offers or content to you, or provide as targeted and personal a service as we could if we had access to your data. You can quickly and easily see from the service-specific information how we process your personal data in each service.

3. Cookies

We collect data on the use of our online services with the help of cookies, for example.

We use cookies that work as intended on our website – they improve the user experience or monitor traffic on the Fazer website.

4. What is the data used for?

We process your data for business purposes, such as to deliver any products you have ordered, produce the service you have purchased or to fulfil some other contract. We also process your data if it is necessary for the realisation of Fazer’s legitimate interests. Under certain circumstances we are legally obliged to process your personal data in order to comply with our legal obligations. In some cases, we may ask you for your consent for the processing of your data. You can always withdraw your consent given for processing, but such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal. We combine the data we collect to be able to offer you as good service as possible.

We process your data for the following purposes:

Web and mobile services:

We process your data so that you can use our online services and mobile apps, on the basis of necessity for the performance of contract. Your data allows us to identify you, offer our digital services to you and fulfil a contract, by delivering an order, for example.

Customer service and communication:

We process your data for the purpose of providing customer services, such as responding to any feedback or complaint you have sent us, carrying out customer communication and resolving disputes, on the basis of necessity for the performance of contract and where applicable when necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

Direct marketing as well as marketing surveys and opinion polls:

We process your data to be able to market our products and services. We can also process your data in marketing surveys and opinion polls to gain a better understanding of our customers and thereby provide them with better services, which is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or, if necessary, based on your consent.

Targeting communication, marketing and services:

We process your data to target communication and marketing, on the basis of necessity for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or, where applicable, on the basis of your prior given consent. For example, we use the data in our customer register to create anonymous target audiences. This allows us to provide you with information about our products and services that is as relevant as possible. The targeting of content is based on interests the customer has indicated or information we have learned about the customer with the help of recorded data. Such data consists of information on which campaigns you have participated in and your activities in our online services.

Analysis, compilation of statistics, and the development of business, products and services:

We process your data based on your consent and on the controller’s legitimate interest for providing our services, for managing of customer and other such relationships and related obligations, customer communications and marketing and for ensuring security. Consumer marketing is always based on prior consent which can be withdrawn at any time. Personal data is also processed for provision, maintenance and further development of current and future services and/or products. By processing camera surveillance recordings, we also wish to ensure your safety. When we process your data we always strive to ensure that the processing is proportional and necessary for the described purposes.

Fraud prevention and compliance:

If necessary, we process your personal data to prevent fraud and comply with regulations (such as trade sanctions and anti-bribery regulation). Personal data is processed in accordance with applicable law and best practices in order to fulfil our legal obligations and on the basis of our legitimate interest. We collect much of the personal data that we hold about you directly from you. We may also receive your personal data from other sources, such as public databases and other trusted public sources, as well as third-party databases.

“Legitimate interest” refers to an interest that is legal and the realisation of which is important for Fazer’s operations. Fazer may act on the grounds of legitimate interest where a significant and pertinent relationship exists between the user of the service, i.e. the data subject, and Fazer. Fazer’s legitimate interests cover improvement of the quality and effectiveness of our services, protection of our visitors, detection of fraud and security incident, defending ourselves in legal proceedings and compliance with law. When assessing legitimate interest, the interests of the data subject and Fazer are evaluated, including the realisation of fundamental rights, the nature and purpose of use of the data collected, and data security. The data subject has the right to object to processing that occurs on the basis of a legitimate interest. You can find more information about your rights under the section 8. How can you influence the processing of your personal data?

6. Who can process your data and do we disclose it to third parties?

Your data is processed within Fazer Group. We may disclose your data to the authorities, for example, if the law requires us to do so, i.e. to comply with a statutory obligation (including court order), if this is necessary to prevent, investigate or prosecute criminal offence or if this is necessary to enforce our policies, or to protect the rights and freedoms of others. In addition, we may disclose your data in the context of any disposal of business or some other corporate transaction to the buyer of the business or another relevant party related to the corporate transaction.

To fulfil the agreement, we may disclose personal data to third parties. Such third parties include our partners offering payment agency or transportation services in our online stores or sales outlets; companies providing IT services or solutions, companies providing consultancy and audit services, companies providing marketing services; these partners may act as data processors, on our instructions and be contractually bound by us not to use your data for their own purposes but may also act as separate controllers in terms of personal data needed for the payment and transportation. Each online store provides information on the partners it uses. We advise you to read the data protection policies of such third parties. In order to be able to handle customer feedback or product enquiries flexibly, we may, if necessary, also disclose personal data related to feedback or product inquiry to a distributor, retailer, brand owner, or licensee on the basis of the legitimate interest of such party or Fazer.

We use services provided by third parties in the processing of personal data, but we do not, as a rule, disclose your data to them in such a manner that they would be able to use it for other purposes than those defined by Fazer.

We use subcontractors and service providers for the processing of your data, such as for technical maintenance or the implementation of campaigns and direct marketing. In such cases, we obligate our subcontractors and service providers with appropriate contractual means to maintain a level of information security that is adequate to protect your data and to comply with the valid personal data legislation. The subcontractors and service providers we use only use your data for the purposes defined by Fazer, described above. We do not disclose your data to them in a format that would allow them to use it for other purposes.

7. Do we transfer your data beyond the borders of the EU or EEA (“third countries”)?

If we use your data for electronic communications, your data may be transferred to our service provider located in the United States. Your data may also be transferred to the US and Canada when you complete transactions in our online stores.

We can also transfer your data outside the EU or EEA in other cases than those mentioned above if this is necessary for the purposes of processing, for inventory management and shipping purposes or the technical maintenance of the data, provided that the requirements set in the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation are met, such as by carrying out the transfer by applying the model clauses approved by the European Commission.

We use the digital tool of our service provider in the United States to implement digital marketing and customer communication, due to which your data may be transferred to the United States when we use the data for digital communication. We also use an inventory and shipping management service provider in the United States which uses subcontractors located in other third countries, due to which your data may be transferred to other third countries when we use the data for inventory management and shipping purposes. We use a digital user interface development tool which shows a different version to a particular user group and reports back to us through its interface. The service provider uses a platform provided by a subcontractor located in the United States. Therefore, when accessing our online services, your data may be transferred to the United States for the purpose of development of our online services.

The service provider which offers the platform for Fazer’s online stores (Fazer Store online store, Fazer Experience online store, Gateau artisan bakeries online store, Shop-in-Shop bakeries’ online store, Fazer Café cake shop and Fazer Café’s takeaway service online stores, Custom Fazer service and Fazer Proshop online store) is located in Canada, and data may be transferred to the Unites States in connection with the data processing of this service provider. Therefore, when you make purchases in the above-mentioned online stores, your personal data may be transferred to the United States and Canada to enable your online transaction. In connection with making a purchase at the above-mentioned online stores you also disclose information to a payment service provider of your choice. In case Stripe is the chosen payment service provider, the company may process data e.g. in the United States. You can find out more about data processing in relation to webstores in the service specific information.

According to a decision by the EU Commission, the level of data protection in Canada is sufficient, which secures the transfer of personal data to Canada. In case we transfer your data to the United States or other countries outside the EEA, the transfers are legitimized by contractual measures (such as by applying the model clauses approved by the European Commission) or by other measures fulfilling the requirements set in the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (such as adequacy decisions).

8. How can you influence the processing of your personal data?

You can control how Fazer collects and uses your data. Because your rights are important for us, we have established several means by which you can influence the processing of your data. Below, you can read about your rights and the methods you can use to exercise them.

You are entitled to influence the processing of your data in the following ways:

• You have the right to forbid the processing of your personal data for the purposes of direct marketing at any time (right to object). If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer be entitled to process your personal data for such purposes. Please note that if you unsubscribe from a newsletter you earlier subscribed to through the link in a newsletter but have given us general marketing permission, you may continue to receive marketing communication from us. In such cases, you can withdraw the consent you have given by filling in the form found on our website or contacting our customer service. Please note that even if you opt out of direct marketing, you may still see our advertisements in online services external to Fazer and receive customer communication from us, such as confirmation of an order you made through our online store. In addition, you may receive marketing communication like this from Fazer in relation to your work or area of responsibility. The easiest way to opt out is to unsubscribe via the link at the end of the message you receive.

• In some situations, you may have the right, for reasons related to special personal circumstances, to object to the processing of your personal data beyond the purposes of direct marketing. In such cases, your right only pertains to your data that we process by virtue of Fazer’s legitimate interests. When you ask us to stop processing your personal data on these grounds, you must tell us what the special personal reason is due to which the processing of your data should be stopped.

• You have the right to request access to the data concerning you or to receive confirmation that we do not process data concerning you (right of access). The easiest way to make such a request is to fill in the relevant form found on our website. In certain situations, you also have the right to receive the personal data you provided to us in digital format so that you can transfer it to another controller (right to data portability).

• You have the right to have data rectified (right to rectification). This means that if your data is incorrect, inaccurate or deficient, you are entitled to ask us to rectify or complete the data. In certain situations, you may have the right to restrict the processing (right to restriction of processing). This means that if you dispute the accuracy of your data, you have the right to restrict its processing for a period of time that allows us to ensure that your data is accurate.

• You have the right to have your data erased in certain situations, including situations where the processing of your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or if the processing of your personal data was based on your consent and you wish to withdraw your consent, and there are no other grounds for processing your personal data (right to be forgotten). Please note that if the processing of your personal data is necessary for the purpose of, for instance, delivering an online store order you have made or complying with your desire to opt out of direct marketing, we cannot remove your data.

You can exercise your rights related to the processing of your personal data by contacting us via the form found on our website.

9. Who can you turn to if you have questions concerning the processing of your data?

You can read more about our data protection policies at www.fazergroup.com/privacy , where you can contact us, for example, or exercise your rights related to the processing of your data.

If you think that we, despite the principles mentioned in this Privacy Statement, have infringed upon your rights based on personal data legislation, you can also file a complaint with your local data protection authority. We nevertheless recommend that you first get in touch with our customer service to clear up the matter.

To fulfil the agreement, we may disclose personal data to third parties. Such third parties include our partners offering payment agency or transportation services in our online stores; these partners may also act as the controller in terms of personal data needed for the payment and transportation.

We do this on the basis of the customer relationship or Fazer’s legitimate interests. When the local legislation so requires, we will ask for your consent to such marketing. If you receive marketing communication like this from Fazer in relation to your work or area of responsibility, the easiest way to opt out is to unsubscribe via the link at the end of the message you receive.

Feedback, complaints and other customer service

You can give us feedback, make a complaint concerning a product or service of ours or send us an idea through our customer service aimed at consumers. In this context, we will collect data such as your name, your contact information and possible data on representation, based on the customer relationship. This data facilitates the processing of the idea or complaint and allow us to respond. We may also collect health-related data if this is necessary for the processing of compensation or an investigation concerning legal liability. We will do this in cases where our products have caused you health-related symptoms of some kind.

Opinion polls and surveys allow us to collect information important for our operations. It is voluntary to answer to them, and we will process your data on your consent. When you participate in a poll or a survey, we may ask personal details that are necessary for carrying out the poll or survey or if the poll or survey involves a prize draw, in which case we need the personal data to send you your prize. We will also process your information for providing MyFazer membership related services in case you are a member.

Mobile applications

We provide our customers with mobile apps, through which you can place orders or receive benefits when you visit our cafés or restaurants. For you to be able to use an app, we will collect personal data from you (such as your contact information, change data and customer relationship data, as well as information on your interests, such as information on the use of the app, so that we can send you offers suitable for you).

MyFazer mobile application

MyFazer is a mobile app that can be downloaded to your smartphone. The MyFazer mobile app is a service that is part of the MyFazer loyalty programme. To use the app, we collect your name and email address from you based on your customer relationship. If you give your consent, we may use the mobile application to track your location and target you with current offers. You can also give us marketing permission if you wish. For more information, see MYFAZER LOYALTY PROGRAM.

The MyFazer loyalty programme

MyFazer is the loyalty programme of Fazer Group. The loyalty programme includes a variety of services, benefits and offers, as well as an opportunity to participate in the development of Fazer’s products and services. The loyalty programme can be joined through Fazer's online service or by downloading the MyFazer mobile app. A member can terminate their membership at any time in the MyFazer service.

The processing of data related to the MyFazer loyalty programme is based on the loyalty agreement you have signed. We ask for your name and contact information to administer the MyFazer loyalty programme. You can modify and manage your own data in the MyFazer service.

In addition, we use cookies and other similar technologies to collect data on the online service browsing, purchases, and product and service evaluations of the members of the MyFazer loyalty programme as well as information provided by the members themselves, such as feedback and answers given in different surveys and studies. We may combine the collected data with other customer information and use the data to provide interesting, targeted benefits, services and contents to the members of the MyFazer loyalty programme and for the programme’s analytics, statistics and development. 

The MyFazer loyalty programme includes marketing communication, and when you join the programme, you will receive Fazer’s newsletters, benefits and offers via e-mail and possibly by other electronic means, if you so wish. You can manage your message settings in the MyFazer service. The push messages of mobile applications related to the loyalty programme can be managed in the relevant application.

We use the services of third parties for the implementation of the loyalty programme, which means your data may be transferred to the United States. You can find further information on the transfer of data to third countries in 7. Do we transfer your data beyond the borders of the EU or EEA (i.e. to "third countries")?

Video surveillance systems

Video surveillance enables us to ensure the personal safety, protection of property and food safety of our employees, customers and other persons staying at or visiting our facilities as well as to prevent and resolve situations that jeopardise safety, property and production processes.

Video surveillance stores data on persons who are within the range of the cameras at any given time. Surveillance may target, among other things, public spaces, loading docks, factory areas and, under certain conditions, areas where money is handled. This will enable us to ensure safety and protect people and property from harm. If Fazer uses video surveillance systems in the premises, the covered area is marked with clear notice tags (for example with camera images or with a notice reading “video surveillance” or other similar notification).

Fazer processes the data based on the legitimate interest of the controller. The retention period of the data is defined based on requirements of local legislation and/or supervisory authority recommendations and the initial retention time ranges from two weeks to three months, as applicable country-by-country. The data may be retained for longer if required by presenting, resolving or defending a legal claim; in other words, until the judgment is legally valid or the matter has been finally settled. Surveillance has been outsourced to a security company whose security guards monitor events on the property through a TV monitor. The security guards have technical access to the video surveillance material and they are allowed to access the material if necessary on prior consent from Fazer security manager. The security system is maintained on premise by Fazer itself.

Data can be disclosed to the authorities on the basis of the statutory right to obtain information. Such authorities include the police.

Access control systems

Access control enables us to ensure the personal safety, protection of property and food safety of our employees, customers and other persons staying at or visiting our facilities as well as to prevent and resolve situations that jeopardise safety, property and production processes.

The access control register stores data on persons who have applied for access rights and who at any given time have entered or exited through doors or gates included in the system or used the facilities included in the system. The information to be stored in the system includes the person's background information, such as name, role, employer and possibly their personal identity code, date of birth and picture, as well as the date and time of access and the vehicle’s registration number and picture. The background information is usually obtained from the person themselves or their representative when the access right is applied for, and the other information is obtained from the access control systems.

Fazer processes the data based on the legitimate interest of the controller. Processing the personal identity code is required for unambiguous identification of the person in question in order to ensure the safety of persons, among other things. The data is retained for a maximum of three years or longer, if required by presenting, resolving or defending a legal claim; in other words, until the judgment is legally valid or the matter has been finally settled. If access rights have not been granted, the data will be erased within three months of entering the application in the system.

Data can be disclosed to the authorities on the basis of the statutory right to obtain information. Such authorities include the police.

Processing the personal data of company contact people and other stakeholders

Fazer processes the data of its corporate customers and potential corporate customers, suppliers and subcontractors as well as other stakeholders in the course of its business operations. We process your data in these contexts when you are in contact with us as a representative of your company, other organisation or a stakeholder group. In such cases, we typically process the data on the basis of the fulfilment of contractual obligations or Fazer’s legitimate interest. Read more about legitimate interest in section 4. How is the data used? We can also request your consent to the processing of your personal data when, for instance, the applicable legislation requires your consent for marketing communication related to your work or area of responsibility.

We process your data to be able to make an agreement with you or provide services to you, for customer communication and service as well as for the analysis, statistics, reporting and development of our business operations. We also use your data for the marketing of our products and services and can, on the basis of any work-related interests you have informed us of, target the marketing we send to you in such a way that it benefits you in your work as much as possible. If you receive marketing communication like this from Fazer in relation to your work or area of responsibility, you can opt out at any time by unsubscribing via the link at the end of the message you receive.

When you deal with us as a representative of a company or other organisation or stakeholder group, the data we collect from you includes your name, contact details, position and job and/or title in the company or other organisation you represent. In some situations, we can also collect information about your interests and possibly other data necessary for the management of the relationship between Fazer and the company or organisation you represent. In addition, we collect information from generally available sources, such as the websites of companies, social media services and directories and contact databases maintained by the authorities or service providers.
