The stakeholder register of the Blood Service consists of the contact persons for blood donor groups, contact persons and voluntary organisers of blood donation sessions, retired employees of the Blood Service, contact information for partners in blood donation, communication and marketing activities, and visitors at the Blood Service.

Why is my data being collected?
Your data is collected for the purposes of contacting and communications. If you are a contact person of a blood donor group (BloodGroup), we require your data for communication related to blood donation visits and for sending you our various communication materials. The personal data of contact persons for blood donation sessions are also needed for purposes of contacting. We process the names and contact information of volunteers working at blood donation sessions for the eventuality that they are needed to handle insurance claims.

If you are a retired employee of the Blood Service, we will send you invitations to our events and communication materials, such as the Pisara and Avun Maailma magazines. If you are our cooperation partner, we need your contact information for purposes of communication and for sending you our materials.

If you are a visitor on our property, we want to ensure both your own safety and the safety and secrecy obligations of the Blood Service and our subtenants. In the case of visitors, personal data is collected on the basis of a legitimate interest of the Blood Service, as provisioned by the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

By signing, visitors accept to comply with the instructions on confidentiality detailed in the visitor form. The provision of data is a prerequisite for the visit. Visitors are also subjected to video surveillance for purposes of security.

Why is my data processed?
