We may use your personal data to manage customer relationships, communicate with you, provide our services, process reservations and rentals, handle billing, perform analytics and statistical purposes, and provide targeted advertising and marketing. Marketing messages related to the Service may be sent unless you have opted out.
The primary legal basis for processing your personal data is the contract made when you order the Service. We may also process your data based on your consent provided when registering for the Service, or on our legitimate interest in managing the customer relationship and targeting marketing.
3. Who processes your personal data
Your personal data is processed by employees of Lainapalikka Suomi Oy whose duties relate to customer relationship management, service delivery, sales, marketing, or administration. Our staff are trained in secure data handling, and each staff group processes data only to the extent necessary for their work duties.
We also use trusted service providers who may process your personal data on our behalf. These providers offer services such as payment processing (Stripe Payments Europe Ltd), postal and parcel delivery (Posti Group Oyj), e-commerce platform services (Wix.com Ltd), IT and data processing services, analytics, and opinion or market research services. Service providers are not permitted to use your personal data or disclose it for any other purpose than providing services on our behalf. All service providers we use comply with GDPR and other applicable legislation.
4. Transfers of personal data outside the EU/EEA
Your personal data is primarily processed within the European Union. However, we also use non-European service providers, in which case your personal data may be transferred outside the EU/EEA. To protect your data and your rights, transfers are made only based on a valid legal transfer mechanism.
The primary transfer mechanism is a European Commission adequacy decision, which allows data to be transferred to a country outside the EU. For U.S.-based service providers we use, we require that they are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and committed to complying with the EU GDPR.

We may also disclose personal data if we consider it necessary under applicable law, regulation, or upon request by an authority.
