To manage the lifecycle of Diak devices (such as computers and phones).

The basis for processing data is to fulfil the statutory duties of a university of applied sciences (Universities of Applied Sciences Act, Government Decree on Universities of Applied Sciences, and Act on the National Registers of Education Records, Qualifications and Degrees, etc.). An additional basis for processing is a contract or an agreement.

The device management personal data register contains data of Diak staff and students.

Data is collected directly from users themselves or from Diak’s HR and student services.

The most important personal data included in the device management personal data register includes name, email address, phone number and devices’ serial numbers.

Personal data is stored for as long as a person has a Diak device in their use or possession.

Digital materials: Digital materials are protected with access rights, passwords, two-factor authentication, surveillance and firewalls.

Paper materials: Paper materials are not collected, but if they are created, they will be stored in a locked space with access control. When the paper material is no longer needed, it is taken for disposal in a locked trash container (“data protection bin”).

Personal data is disclosed only to contractual partners who supply devices, such as device leasers. In these cases, the disclosing and processing of data is protected with contracts.

Systems using the register do not have automatic decision-making functions.

Data will not be transferred outside the EU/EEA.

Data is transferred or disclosed outside the EU/EEA, where and to whom:

As a rule, the personal data contained in the register is not transferred outside the European Union or the European Economic Area or to international organisations. However, due to the international nature of the operations, Diak may use resources, applications and servers located outside the EU or EEA when providing the services. In these cases, Diak ensures that there is a legal basis for the transfer of data and that personal data is protected, for example by requiring standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission and compliance with appropriate technical and organizational security measures. In addition, where appropriate, a TIA assessment will be carried out in connection with such data transfer, as well as monitoring the overall level of data protection in known countries. In all cases, the data transfer is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and only to the extent strictly necessary.

You have the right to information on how and for what purpose your personal data will be processed. You can also request access to records of your personal data, and request that incorrect information be rectified.

You can also submit a request to delete your data or restrict its use. However, in some cases the data cannot be deleted or its use restricted, for example if the personal data is being processed to fulfil a legal obligation, complete a task in the public interest orexercise public authority vested in Diak.

In certain situations, you also have the right to transfer the personal data you have provided to us to another controller or to object to the processing of your personal data, i.e. to request that we do not process them at all. In addition, you may request that we do not make a decision on your part based solely on automated processing of personal data.

If you would like to know more about the processing of your data or exercise your rights, you can contact Diak’s Data Protection Officer (tietosuojavavavaava@diak.fi) or submit a request using the form found on Diak’s website https://www.vismasignforms.com/form/fa53720e-cc71-4b92-b062-6db43e0d33d3.
