Data protection and processing of personal data in the Health Village hubs
In principle, no personal data is collected or processed in the Health Village hubs. However, the processing of personal data may become necessary, for example, if you fill in a feedback form and leave your contact details or use a chat service that requires authentication.
When you use the Health Village hubs, no personal data is collected or stored about you. However, there are some activities within the service where the processing of personal data may be appropriate. You can find the functions, their use cases and privacy policies here.
NB: The Health Village hubs are one of the three main products of the HealthVillage.fi service package. The other products are the My Path and HealthVillagePRO services. For more information on the processing of personal data in the My Path and HealthVillagePRO services, see the services’ own privacy policies.
Data protection and transparency in the processing of personal data is very important to us. You can find out more about your rights regarding data protection and the processing of your personal data by clicking on the link below.
If you provide feedback using either the Give feedback or Report a technical issue forms and leave your contact information (optional), the Health Village’s privacy policy for personal data provided on the forms will apply.
If you use a separate service that requires authentication, such as a Health Village hub chat, the specific privacy policy for that service shall apply. Please note that not all standalone services require authentication. If the service requires authentication, this is mentioned separately on the service’s introduction page.
If you are a researcher and interested in conducting research related to the Health Village, please fill in the 'Are you interested in doing research related to the Health Village?' Webropol form.
In the case of a request for publication of a completed study or article, you can submit a request for publication using the ‘Submit your research to the Health Village Research Bank’ Webropol form.
In both cases, personal data is collected from the researcher or the submitter. The processing of personal data is governed by the Health Village’s privacy policy for contact requests related to research activities.
If you are a social welfare or health care professional and want to keep up to date with new content and services published in the Health Village, you can subscribe to the Health Village newsletter for professionals. The processing of personal data related to the newsletter is described in the Health Village's privacy policy for service newsletters.
The Health Village services sometimes organise ad hoc surveys, competitions and research or interview recruitments that require the respondent’s contact details. You can find the privacy policy and data protection statement related to a survey, competition or recruitment in the context of the survey, competition or recruitment.
