Data protection

Transactions via the Internet service are always protected and encrypted (https). Information systems and the information contained in them are also protected and partially encrypted. All information is located either in Finland or on backed-up servers located in the EU. This information is processed only by our own staff, and the information is not disclosed to external third parties. Some of our data systems are outsourced or acquired from third parties (system suppliers), but in this case we have ensured through contractual arrangements that this personal data is processed and managed securely and confidentially in accordance with the Finnish Personal Data Act and the EU Data Protection Regulation.

In the protection of personal data, we use both technical and organizational data security measures against unauthorized access, disclosure, disposal or other processing. Such means are e.g. the use of firewalls, encryption technologies, secure locked equipment spaces, appropriate access control and management and control of user rights, instructing personnel involved in the processing of personal data and careful selection of subcontractors.

At Meeting Park, all reservations and orders are completely confidential, and no information is disclosed to outsiders, and customers can choose whether their freely chosen reservation information is displayed on the control screens of our facilities. At Business Meeting Park Oy, all tenants, monthly customers and staff are also covered by the same non-disclosure agreement (NDA) - reportedly still the only operator in the Nordic countries.
