This global privacy notice applies to any visitor or user (“you”) of the website located at www.peikko.com and any other websites (singularly and collectively “Site”) that the Peikko Group Corporation or its subsidiaries and affiliates (singularly and collectively “we” or “Peikko”) own and control, except those that maintain a separate privacy policy, such as www.peikko.de.
We are committed to privacy and to transparency in our information practices. This privacy notice aims to inform you about how we collect, store, use and disclose personal information about you when you interact or use our Site.
In this privacy notice use of the term “personal information” includes other similar terms under applicable privacy laws, such as “personal data” and “personally identifiable information.” In general, personal information includes any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated, linked, or linkable with a particular individual.
If we decide to make changes to this privacy notice, we will post the changes on this Site so that you will always know what personal information we collect and how we use it.
We may collect and process the following personal information about you:
For example, when using our software, registering to an event or webinar, contacting us as a prospective or existing customer, supplier, employee, other cooperation partner or stakeholder.
Certain types of personal information are more sensitive than others, such as information about health, race or ethnic origin, criminal offences, political opinions, biometric information, religion, or labor union membership.
We do not generally seek to collect sensitive personal information via this Site or otherwise and request that you do not send or share with us any sensitive personal information, except in special cases, such as providing dietary requirements due to religion and/or a medical condition, or if you provide accessibility requirements due to a medical condition as part of registration for an event.

We will only use your personal information if we have a proper legal basis to do so. Most commonly, we will use your personal information to (i) provide and communicate with you about our products and services; (ii) provide our software solutions; (iii) process a job application; (iv) maintain and develop the Site and our products and services; (v) statistical and analytical purposes; (vi) marketing and communication purposes such as for example conducting marketing research, direct marketing, and automated marketing.
