Sensitive personal data related to health and wellbeing

​

To provide services, Tuttu must process some health data, which fall under so-called special categories of personal data. The processing of these data is always based on the consent of the contractor or customer. In the case of young children, the processing is based on the consent of a parent or other guardian.

 

Such health data may include, for example, the need for special support, chronic illnesses, or allergies. Collecting this information is necessary to provide suitable service, such as finding a contractor with the appropriate skills.

​

Cookies essential for the operation of the site are automatically accepted, but consent is requested separately for other cookies from visitors to the website. These cookies are used, among other things, to monitor the use of the website and to improve services.

 

The website uses Google Analytics and other analytics tools to evaluate information. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by downloading an add-on to your browser here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

We do not store data for longer than allowed by law. We process and store personal data with due care and in the manner required by law.

 

The data controller may confidentially disclose information within Tuttu Lastenhoito Oy to the extent necessary for the performance and development of the service. The data controller may also disclose your information to carefully selected third parties with your separate consent. An example of this is the disclosure of information required for billing contractors, such as bank account numbers and contact information, to a billing service for billing purposes.
