Buildie (“BUILDIE”) regards data protection and personal data protection as an extremely important part of the Buildie Service (“Service”) and the user experience thereof, as described in the BUILDIE Terms of Use (http://www.buildie.fi/terms-of-use/).

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal data” refers to information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person that BUILDIE collects in its customer register. This Privacy Policy describes how BUILDIE protects your privacy and the personal data BUILDIE processes. This Privacy Policy constitutes the description of file for the Users of the Service, as defined in the Personal Data Act.

BUILDIE acknowledges that the Service Users are interested in how BUILDIE uses and discloses personal data. Transparency regarding the use and disclosure of personal data is important to BUILDIE, and BUILDIE is committed to complying with the applicable data privacy and privacy laws. BUILDIE also grants great importance to the fact that Users have control over the personal data that they process when they use the Service.

BUILDIE may use third parties to process personal data when providing the Service to the User.

BUILDIE wants to remind that this Privacy Policy applies to the personal data processed by BUILDIE when the User uses the Service.

BUILDIE encourages the Users to carefully read the privacy policies applicable to websites and/or services maintained by third parties. BUILDIE is not responsible for the processing of personal data of third parties.

By registering with and using the Service, the User agrees to the privacy practices set out in this Privacy Policy

In the event of a conflict between the Terms of Use of the Service and this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use shall prevail.
