5. Rights of the Data Subject

The data subject has the following rights. Requests concerning the exercise of these rights must be sent to: info@heirol.fi

Right of Access
The data subject has the right to request a copy of their personal data stored by us.

Right to Rectification
The data subject has the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.

Right to Object
The data subject may object to the processing of their personal data if they believe it has been processed unlawfully.

Right to Object to Direct Marketing
The data subject has the right to prohibit the use of their data for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")
The data subject has the right to request the deletion of their data if processing is no longer necessary. We will process the deletion request and either delete the data or inform the data subject of a justified reason why the data cannot be deleted.

Please note that the data controller may have a legal or other obligation not to delete the requested information. For example, accounting data must be retained for 10 years in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act (Chapter 2, Section 10). Therefore, data related to accounting cannot be deleted before the retention period expires.

If the processing of the data subject’s personal data is based solely on consent (e.g., not on a customer relationship or membership), the data subject has the right to withdraw their consent.

Right to Restriction of Processing
The data subject has the right to request that we restrict the processing of disputed data while the matter is being resolved.

Right to Lodge a Complaint
The data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they believe that their personal data has been processed in violation of applicable data protection legislation.

11. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not use personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal effects or significantly affects the data subject.
We may use limited profiling for marketing purposes. This helps us target communication and offers more effectively based on user interests or previous interactions. Profiling may be based on e.g., purchase history, website behavior, or customer group.
Profiling does not produce significant effects on the data subject and is not used for fully automated decision-making without human involvement.
