1 SmartLiving application privacy notice
1.1 How do we protect your privacy?
Fortum Markets Oy (later referred to as "Fortum"), as controller, is committed to protecting your privacy and will process your information in accordance with data protection laws and good data processing practice.
When providing and developing the service, we only process data which is necessary for the purposes defined in this Privacy Notice.
In addition to limiting the data we collect, we do our best to keep the data we have on you secured at all times. The data we process on you is, for example, protected against unauthorized access by both standard security mechanisms and organizational measures. Additionally, the SmartLiving application supports requirements set out in data protection laws such as the European Union General Data Protection Regulation.
1.2 For which purposes do we use the information about you?
We use information on you to provide the SmartLiving application (the "Service") to you. By providing Fortum with information on you and by accepting the collection and processing of personal data on you, you make it possible for us to provide the Service to you, develop the Service and ensure that you are able to use all the functions of the Service.
For example, in order for you to be able to view and control certain sensors in your apartment and, as a result, use certain features of the Service, we need to connect your account with your apartment's data. Due to this, we process information such as data on your apartment's temperature and humidity, and your apartment's consumption data and alarm services in order to provide features of the Service to you.
Additionally, as part of providing the Service to you, we process information on you in order to maintain and further improve the Service and other smart living solutions, and to provide customer service to you regarding the Service.
To summarize, we process data on you for the following purposes:
- To provide support and service on your demand;
- To carry out customer communication;
- For product and service development, including feedback and surveys;
- To secure technical functionality of the Service; and
- For optimization of the Service.
All such personal data processing related to the Service is based on Fortum's legitimate interest and our need to process such personal data due to the customer relationship between you and Fortum.
For more information on the SmartLiving service itself, please turn to your housing company or to Fortum's customer service.

1.4 Do we share information on you to others?

We may disclose and transfer your personal data within the Fortum group of companies. These Fortum group companies may process the personal data only in accordance with data protection laws and good data processing practice.
In addition, we use third parties, such as service providers, to collect, store and process personal data on our behalf. Such service providers are only allowed to process your personal data to the extent necessary for them to provide the services we have requested from them. In order to protect your privacy, we require that all our service providers keep the personal data we provide them confidential and adequately secure. In most cases the personal data is provided to third parties only in encrypted form and is not readable to such parties. Regardless of what form the personal data is provided to them, third parties are required to abide by data processing agreements and applicable data protection legislation. As a main rule, they are not allowed to use your personal data for the benefit of their own business.
Fortum does not regularly disclose personal data outside the Fortum group of companies. However, we may disclose data to third parties if such disclosures are necessary due to mandatory law, or are reasonable based on our careful consideration.
Apart from limited individual situations, we do not transfer information on you outside of the European Union or European Economic Area.
