Privacy Policy

An essential part of the city's operations includes securing and protecting the personal data in use. We pay special attention to data protection and the development of our personnel's data protection expertise. When you do business with the city of Riihimäki, or when you are otherwise dealing with the city, we collect your personal data only to the extent that it is necessary to handle the matter. There is always a legal basis for processing your personal data.

On this page, we publish statements and forms related to data protection, which are intended for the information and use of city residents. The goal of the EU General Data Protection Regulation is to improve the protection of personal data, increase the transparency of personal data processing, and give data subjects the means to manage the processing of their personal data. The nationally regulated data protection law specifies and supplements the provisions of the data protection regulation.
