Why we process personal data

Our Basic Education staff use the data to arrange education, teaching and student welfare. In the student information system Primus, we process data about applicants and students. We also save the contact details of our staff.

We only save the data that we need to manage your studies and to protect your rights.

We also save data that we need for customer service, planning and statistics. Authorities need this data for official statistics and for planning funding.

Legal basis for processing

We process personal data based on your consent and/or a contract and our legitimate interests. We also follow our legal obligations. We need the register to plan education and to arrange teaching and student welfare.

Who can see the data

Our staff can see the data in Primus if they need it for their work.

Data about your right to study, your completed studies and your certificates is sent from Primus to the Koski data resource. Koski is a national register. The Finnish National Agency for Education maintains it. We are responsible for making sure that the data we save is correct. You have the right to ask us to correct it. The Finnish National Agency for Education is responsible for how Koski works and for sharing data from it.

If you are a customer of employment services, we send the necessary data to the Koulutusportti system (KOPO). We are responsible for making sure that the data we save is correct. You have the right to ask us to correct it. The maintainer of Koulutusportti is responsible for how the system works.

If you agree, we give your personal study plan (HEOPS) to your next school or to other partners.

Sharing personal data

We do not give the data to anyone else than the parties mentioned above. We never give the data for direct marketing, market research, opinion polls, directories or family history research.

We do not transfer the data outside the EU or the EEA (European Economic Area).

Retention period

We keep personal data as long as we need it for the purposes above or as long as the law requires.

We follow the rules and recommendations of the National Archives of Finland for municipal education, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) and the Basic Education Act (628/1998). Documents that we keep permanently: National Archives Service regulation 321/43/03 and the Archives Act (831/1994). Other registers: EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679).
