Regular sources of personal data
The Customer's personal data will mainly be collected from the Customer him/herself when he/she is registered for the Alko.fi online shop or when using it. Private customers can order products from the online shop without registering.
When ordering from the Alko.fi online shop, the identity and date of birth of a private customer will be verified from the customer's bank through online bank credentials. For business customers, online bank credentials are used to verify the business ID and signing authority from Suomen Asiakastieto Oy, in addition to the above information.
Personal data is also collected when the Customer conducts ordering and payment activities in the online shop, as well as from the Customer him/herself when he/she collects or returns an order at an Alko store. If the order is made and collected by a different person, the personal data of the recipient will also be processed and stored, so that Alko can verify that the collection is legitimate. If the order is intended as a gift or is to be delivered by a different person, the contact information of said person will be stored upon order.
Personal data is obtained upon registration and payment transactions in customer events from customers and on participants entered by the customer upon registration.
Personal data is collected in connection with customer service communications.
Personal data is also collected from Posti, the Finnish national postal service. Business customers can choose Posti as the delivery method, in which case Posti will collect personal data when delivering orders. Alko may request Posti to disclose such data.
Determining the storage period of personal data
The storage period is determined by the duration of the customer relationship or pending violations. The Customer's personal data will be stored until the Customer requests its removal from the register, unless legislation prevents the removal of such data. A registered Customer can edit his/her customer information by logging in to the Alko.fi online shop. Rectification of information can also be requested by contacting tietosuoja@alko.fi.
Disclosure and transfer of personal data to third parties
The Customer's personal data may be transferred to third parties associated with the provision of the Alko online shop in conjunction with technical implementation, data processing, maintenance, customer service and the packaging and delivery of orders.
The Customer's personal data will not be disclosed for direct marketing purposes.
Transfer of personal data outside the EU or the European Economic Area
Alko will not transfer personal data outside the EU or European Economic Area. However, some of Alko’s partners who process personal data on behalf of Alko have stated that in certain situations they may transfer such data outside the EU or EEA. We have ensured that the level of information security is also protected in such situations by standard contractual clauses drafted by the EU or under data protection legislation. Our website utilises tools whose service providers may be located outside the EU or EEA. An example of such a service provider is Google Analytics. If such tools are used, a sufficient level of protection will be ensured by securing data transfer with protective measures in accordance with data protection legislation.

Login requires a personal username and password, which are granted and administered by Alko. Personal data will be transferred in encrypted form over the public network in the background systems of the online shop. Persons processing personal data in the filing system are bound by a nondisclosure agreement.
Right to access data

Requests for access must be made in writing, signed and delivered either via email to tietosuoja@alko.fi or in person at an Alko store. Proof of identity must be shown if delivered at an Alko store. The access request must include the data subject’s first and last name, personal identification number, address information and phone number. A reply to the request for access will be sent via email or mail.
Right to rectify inaccurate or outdated information
A registered Customer can edit his/her customer information by logging in to the Alko.fi online shop. Rectification of other personal data can also be requested by contacting tietosuoja@alko.fi. In addition, data subjects have the right to request the erasure or partial erasure of their personal data, unless storage is required under legal obligations. Requests for the erasure of data may be addressed to tietosuoja@alko.fi
Right to transfer data between controllers
