training and coaching of employees
documenting the content of agreements and orders (e.g. confirmation of an order or delivery address) for resolving possible disputes

8. Video surveillance in the store
Our physical store ROSES24.FI located at Atlantinkatu 14, 00180 Helsinki, Finland is under continuous video surveillance, which may also include audio recording.

9. Disclosure of personal data to third parties
We respect the confidentiality of your data and do not disclose it to third parties except where:
it is necessary for providing our services;
it is required by law; or
you have expressly consented to it.
Personal data may be disclosed to the following categories of recipients:
Courier and logistics service providers
selected courier, postal and logistics companies that receive the data necessary for delivering your order (name, address, phone number, and, where needed, e-mail address)
these partners receive only the data required to perform the delivery
Payment Service Providers
payment processing partners, such as Montonio Finance UAB, Revolut Bank UAB, PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., and other payment service providers we may use
they receive the information necessary to process the payment (e.g. amount, currency, order number, name, contact details, technical transaction data)
payment details are processed in the secure environments of these providers; we do not store full card details (e.g. card number, CVC/CVV code)
Banks and financial institutions
if you choose credit or instalment payment options, we may transfer the necessary personal and financial data to the respective bank or financial institution
such institutions act as independent controllers and process personal data according to their own privacy policies

access to personal data is limited to what is necessary for providing the respective service
these providers are bound by data processing agreements in accordance with the GDPR

Accounting and auditing firms
external accountants and auditors to whom we provide information required for bookkeeping and fulfilling our tax obligations
they are bound by legal confidentiality and data protection obligations
Legal advisers and debt collection agencies
in the event of a dispute or unpaid debt, we may transfer relevant data (contract documents, order details, contact details, payment information) to our legal advisers or debt collection agencies
this is done solely to protect our legal rights and interests
Public authorities and supervisory authorities
personal data may be disclosed to competent authorities (e.g. police, tax authorities, data protection authority) where required or permitted by law
in each case, we carefully assess the legality of the request and disclose only the minimum necessary data
Transfers of personal data outside the EU/EEA (to “third countries”) take place only if an adequate level of data protection is ensured in accordance with the GDPR (e.g. European Commission adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, or other appropriate safeguards).
10. Retention periods
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above or as required by law. Retention periods depend on the data category and the purposes of processing.
For example:
Account data
retained as long as your user account remains active
when the account is deleted, data is deleted or anonymised, except where retention is required by law (e.g. order data for accounting) or necessary for protecting our legal interests (e.g. unresolved disputes)
Purchase data without an account
if you make purchases without registering an account, order and purchase data are typically retained for up to 3 years from the date of purchase
this is necessary for handling repeat enquiries, returns, warranty issues and business analysis
if you participate in the loyalty programme without a full account, purchase data relating to your participation may be retained for the duration of your participation and thereafter for the periods required by law (e.g. for accounting and limitation periods)
Customer service communications
e-mails, chat messages and other communications are normally retained for up to 3 years from the last interaction, unless a longer period is required by law or due to an ongoing dispute
call recordings are retained for no longer than 1 year, unless a longer retention period is necessary for handling complaints or disputes
Marketing data
information about your consent to receive marketing and the marketing messages we have sent is retained until you withdraw your consent or unsubscribe
after you opt out, we may retain minimal information (e.g. your e-mail address in a suppression list) to ensure that no further marketing messages are sent
Video surveillance data
standard CCTV footage is retained for no longer than 7 days and then deleted or overwritten
if a recording is extracted due to an incident, it may be retained for as long as necessary to investigate and handle the case or related claims
Payment and accounting data

Data related to disputes and incidents
personal data relevant to claims, disputes or investigations (e.g. call recordings, video footage, correspondence) is retained until the matter is fully resolved and for the applicable limitation period
Once the retention period has expired, personal data is permanently deleted or irreversibly anonymised.
11. Security of processing
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against:
unauthorised access
accidental or unlawful loss, destruction or alteration
unauthorised disclosure or other unlawful forms of processing
Such measures include, among others:
Secure data storage
personal data is primarily stored on servers located within the EU/EEA
data centres meet relevant information security standards
Encryption and secure connections
the ROSES24.FI website uses SSL/TLS encryption (https)
confidential data is transferred via secure channels to Payment Service Providers
Access control
access to personal data is limited to those employees who need it to perform their job duties (e.g. customer service, accounting, IT)
employees are bound by confidentiality obligations
access to particularly sensitive data (e.g. payment data, call recordings, CCTV footage) is strictly restricted
Internal policies and training
we maintain internal data protection and information security policies
staff receive appropriate training on data protection and confidentiality
Technical protection and monitoring
software and systems are kept up to date, and we use appropriate protection against malware and unauthorised access
where necessary, we engage external experts to audit and improve our security measures
Data processing agreements
all external service providers processing personal data on our behalf are bound by data processing agreements requiring them to protect personal data in accordance with the GDPR and our instructions
Although no method of data transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, we continuously work to improve our security measures and reduce the risks of data breaches and unauthorised access.
In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will act in accordance with the GDPR: we will notify the competent supervisory authority and, where required, inform you and provide recommendations on how to mitigate possible negative effects.
12. Rights of data subjects
Under the GDPR, you have several rights in relation to your personal data. ROSES24.FI respects these rights and facilitates their exercise.
In particular, you have the right to:
Right to information
obtain clear and transparent information about how we process your personal data, for which purposes, on what legal basis, to whom we disclose it, and for how long we retain it.
Right of access
obtain confirmation as to whether we process personal data concerning you
receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you (the first copy is free of charge; a reasonable fee may be charged for additional copies as permitted by law)
Right to rectification
request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data
you can also correct some basic details yourself via your user account
Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
request the deletion of your personal data in certain situations, for example when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, when you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing, or when processing is unlawful
we will not delete data that we are legally obliged to retain or that we need to retain for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (e.g. accounting records for a legally required period)
Right to restriction of processing
request that the processing of your personal data be restricted (excluding storage), for example while we verify the accuracy of the data or assess an objection to processing
during the restriction period, we will not process the data for purposes other than storage and certain limited purposes (e.g. legal claims)
Right to data portability
where processing is based on your consent or a contract and carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or to transmit those data to another controller, where technically feasible
Right to object
object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on our legitimate interests (including profiling)
in such cases, we will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the data is needed for legal claims
where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have an absolute right to object at any time; if you do so, we will stop processing your data for direct marketing (including related profiling)
Right to withdraw consent
where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time
withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal
Right not to be subject to automated decision-making
you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you
we do not carry out such automated decision-making without human involvement in our operations
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR or other applicable data protection legislation, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (see section 15)
we nevertheless encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve the issue directly.
We aim to respond to your requests without undue delay and in any case within one month of receipt of the request. This period may be extended by two further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests. In such cases, we will inform you of any extension and the reasons for the delay.
To protect your data, we may need to verify your identity before acting on your request, for example by asking you to provide additional information.
In principle, the exercise of your rights is free of charge. However, where requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request, as permitted by the GDPR.
13. Direct marketing and loyalty programme
We may use your contact details (e-mail address, phone number) for direct marketing and loyalty programme communications, subject to the following conditions:
you have given your explicit consent; or
you are an existing customer and applicable law allows us to send marketing messages about similar products and services, provided that you are always given the opportunity to object.
Marketing communications may include:
information about ROSES24.FI products and services
information about campaigns, discounts and special offers
personalised offers for loyalty programme members (information about points, status, additional benefits)
invitations to events and surveys
Form and frequency of messages:
most messages are sent by e-mail
in some cases, with your consent, we may also send SMS messages or call you regarding offers
we aim to keep the frequency reasonable and not to overload you with messages
Opting out of marketing:
You can opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by:
clicking the unsubscribe link included in each marketing e-mail;
following the instructions in an SMS (e.g. replying “STOP”); or
contacting us using the contact details provided in section 14.
Opting out of marketing does not affect service messages related to your orders or our contractual obligations (such as order confirmations, delivery notifications or customer service responses).
We may use your purchase history and preferences to personalise marketing messages to a limited extent (profiling). Such profiling does not have significant legal effects on you and you can object to this processing at any time.
