Regular sources of personal data

The Customer's personal data will mainly be collected from the Customer him or herself when he or she is registered for the Alko.fi online store or when using it. Private customers can order products from the online store without registering.

When ordering from Alko.fi online store, the identity and date of birth of a private customer are verified from the customer's bank through online bank credentials. For business customers, online bank credentials are used to verify, in addition to the information above, the business ID and signing authority from Suomen Asiakastieto Oy.

Personal data is also collected when the Customer performs ordering and payment activities in the online store, as well as from the Customer him or herself when he or she collects or returns an order at an Alko store. If the order is made and collected by different persons, the personal data of the collector will also be processed and stored, so that Alko can verify that the collection is legitimate.

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 this data.
