Mehiläinen Oy's CorporateMehiläinen online service user register
The CorporateMehiläinen online service is primarily aimed at contact persons of Mehiläinen's occupational health customers, but it can be used by anyone who has the personal online banking credentials required to register for the service. The basis for processing personal data is Mehiläinen's legitimate interest, particularly the user management of the CorporateMehiläinen online service. The basis for processing may also be the fulfillment of legal obligations applicable to Mehiläinen.
Personal data is processed for the implementation of the CorporateMehiläinen online service. Personal data may be processed for maintenance purposes, such as user management, verification of the information recorder, and checking for faults or suspected misuse. Personal data may also be processed for the development of the service.
Processing tasks may be outsourced to Mehiläinen's group companies and/or external service providers in accordance with data protection legislation and within its limits. Service providers process personal data on behalf of Mehiläinen.
By linking a CorporateMehiläinen account to a company (customer number), the user's name becomes visible to other users who have the same customer number linked to their account.
The following types of information are processed:
- First name, last name, personal identification number, email address, phone number, username, and password;
- Content produced by the registered user themselves, such as saved reports and reporting groups;
- Information related to data processing, such as the recording date of sick leave or modifications to the personal register;
- Other customer-related information, such as data collected from the use of the website that can be associated with the customer, such as the user's IP address, time of visit, pages visited, browser type used (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox), the web address from which the user came to the website, and the server from which the user accessed the website.
Data is primarily obtained from the following sources:
- The data subject themselves, and information generated through the use of the CorporateMehiläinen online service by the registered user;
- The party providing the identification service, such as an online bank.
Personal data is not regularly disclosed to third parties. If it is necessary to disclose personal data, the transfer can be carried out to third parties either based on a contract, consent, or an explicit legal basis provided in the law.
Personal data may be transferred outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, including to the United States, in accordance with data protection legislation and within its limits. In such cases, the primary basis for transfer is the European Commission's decision on the adequacy of data protection in the United States. If personal data is transferred to a country for which the Commission has made an adequacy decision regarding the adequate level of data protection (Article 45 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation), the primary basis for transfer is the adequacy decision.
Mehiläinen retains personal data in the CorporateMehiläinen online service as long as the data subject uses the CorporateMehiläinen online service, i.e., they have a user account in the service. Mehiläinen may also delete the data earlier if it is clear that the user no longer uses the service and their customer relationship with Mehiläinen has otherwise ended. The user can request the deletion of their account at any time by emailing yritysmehilainen@mehilainen.fi. Mehiläinen Oy retains the log data of the YritysMehiläinen online service for 12 years from the event.
