Legal basis for data processing
We process your personal data as it is necessary for the performance of a task (scientific research) carried out in the public interest (Article 6 section 1 (e) of the General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act (1050/2018) section 4 subsection 2 point 3).
Collected and processed personal data and the purpose for processing
The background information collected by the survey is age, gender, municipality of residence, highest level of education and current occupational status. We collect and process personal data in order to determine the demand, location and value of marine ecosystem services, such as the recreational use of nature and economic activity. The results of the survey will be used in the work of SYKE’s MeriTV project, and the compiled results will be published as part of the project's final report. The location information of valuable places collected in the map survey is used as part of the report's maps, which describe marine areas valuable in terms of ecosystem services. The results of the survey can also be used and published in international and domestic scientific and professional publications. We collect, analyze and store data confidentially and anonymously. We strive to ensure that it is not possible to identify an individual respondent from the results of the survey.
Collected personal data will not be used for automatic decision making nor profiling.
Sources of personal data
Personal data is collected from survey respondents when they answer the survey. The data is collected using the Maptionnaire online survey tool.
Recipients of personal data
The collected data will be processed and analyzed by the researchers of the MeriTV project at the Finnish Environment Institute. The results are also used to support marine protection and restoration planning at the Finnish Environment Institute. The service provider of the Maptionnaire survey, Mapita Oy, collects some personal data if the respondent registers his/her own user account in Maptionnaire. More information in Mapita Oy's privacy statement. In addition, Mapita Oy's subcontractor and survey map service provider MapTiler can collect limited data (IP address and location data). More information about MapTiller's data protection: Privacy policy | MapTiler.
In addition, Syke discloses the results of the survey to its partners, which are the national maritime spatial planning coordination group and the Ministry of the Environment. The service providers are processors of personal data in accordance with the GDPR, and they must follow instructions provided by SYKE when processing the personal data.
Personal data will not be transferred or given outside the EU or ETA.
Protection of personal data
As the data controller, SYKE has taken technical and organisational measures necessary to protect your personal data and requires these measures of any service providers used by it.
Storing of personal data
Personal data will be stored in electronic form for the time necessary for SYKE to fulfil the purposes of processing described in this notice.
All unnecessary data will be deleted without delay using effective and safe methods.
