Collection and processing of personal data, including legal grounds

2.1 General

The phrase "personal data" refers to any information that may be connected to a real person, either directly or indirectly, through other data. Examples of this type of information include name, address, phone number, email address, IP address, and online browser logs.

The phrase "processing of personal data" refers to any action taken with relation to personal data, including gathering, storing, modifying, disclosing, or compiling it.

2.2 Gathering, using, and erasing personal information, together with the justification for it

2.2.1 Points of contact or other delegates at our suppliers and business clients, including forest owners

Data and purpose: We handle personal information provided by you or your employer (our business client or supplier) for two main purposes. Firstly, to manage our interaction with you in your role as a contact person, signatory, or representative of a registered or potential business client or supplier. Secondly, to deliver pertinent marketing materials, event invitations, and updates to the business entity you represent. This may include details such as name, contact information, personal identification number (if applicable to sole traders), preferences, interests, and the history of purchased products and services, all aimed at tailoring our marketing efforts effectively. Additionally, if you've been granted access to our customer portal, we'll use your login credentials solely for facilitating access to said portal.

We process name and address information pertaining to you as a forest owner, sourced from external databases like public and private registers. This processing serves the purpose of keeping you, as a trader, informed about our business activities.

Retention and erasure: Your data will be retained until we receive notification of a new designated contact person and/or representative. For users of our customer portal, data will be kept until the account is deleted. Regarding information about forest owners, it will be stored until the processing purpose is fulfilled, or until the forest owner requests cessation of further communication from us.

Legal basis: Our processing is founded on our legitimate interest in fostering and sustaining relationships with our business partners (customers/suppliers), which includes the provision of customer portals where relevant. Additionally, the processing of personal data pertaining to forest owners is justified by our legitimate interest in disseminating information about the forest industry to potential clients acting as traders.

2.2.2 Websites and social media

Data and purpose: Yoanone Solutions gathers personal information, such as name and email address, provided voluntarily by users. Additionally, data from web browsers, including IP addresses and cookie details, are stored in log files on our servers. This information is utilized to fulfill user requests regarding products and services, enhance website content and services, and generate anonymous usage statistics.

Furthermore, we employ collected data for lawful direct marketing practices and to analyze user behavior for personalized content delivery. Certain personal data may also be indirectly processed in the development and management of Yoanone Solutions' IT systems.

Please note that providing mandatory personal data is necessary for fulfilling certain user requests, such as newsletter subscriptions. It's important to acknowledge that Yoanone Solutions bears no responsibility for the privacy policies or content of external websites linked on our

Retention and erasure: Yoanone Solutions deletes collected personal data once the processing purpose has been fulfilled.

Legal basis: Your personal data will be processed when necessary to fulfill your requests or for legitimate interests pursued by Yoanone Solutions, including website improvement. For processes requiring prior consent, we will obtain it before proceeding with the relevant processing.

2.2.3 Camera surveillance

Purpose and data: As part of our safety protocols, Yoanone Solutions employs camera surveillance to monitor our office premises. This includes collecting personal data such as images and videos of individuals within and around the office.

Retention and erasure: Personal data collected through surveillance is erased once the processing purpose is fulfilled, typically within 90 days. Extended retention may occur if necessary for safety investigations or measures.

Legal basis: The processing conducted through camera surveillance is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining adequate security, which we believe outweighs the visitor's interest in avoiding surveillance.

2.2.4 Additional processing in cases when you have been directed here specifically

If you were directed to this External Privacy Policy from another document (such as an agreement), it indicates that the document that referred you here contained information about the data being processed, its purpose and retention, and the legal basis for the current processing.

2.3 Disclosure of personal data to a third party

Yoanone Solutions will not sell your personal data to a third party. We only share personal data with other companies in the Yoanone Solutions Group of Companies, with business partners and/or Yoanone Solutions’s suppliers who process personal data on Yoanone Solutions's behalf, and when we are required to do so in accordance with law or decisions by public authorities. Where personal data is transferred to Group companies and partners outside the EU/EEA, it is Yoanone Solutions's responsibility to ensure that such personal data is protected in the same way as in the EU/EEA, for example by putting data transfer agreements in place.
