Company Information
Saarni Learning provides software and services to both public and private clients in Europe. Our headquarters are in Tampere, and our operations are governed by EU data protection regulations. Our Data Protection Officer oversees compliance with data protection practices.
Applicability of Data Privacy Statement
This privacy statement applies to all Saarni Learning’s processes, domain names, mobile applications, and cloud services. Applicable service descriptions, privacy policies, and separate data processing agreements specify and, if necessary, limit the details and procedures of data protection for each service and customer.
Data Privacy and Data Retention
Privacy is of utmost importance to us. We adhere to at least the requirements of EU data protection laws in all our activities. Our employees receive regular data protection training. Applicable service descriptions with attachments define the details and implementation methods of our data protection practices. Our goal is to develop our operations in accordance with CSA CCM, ISO/IEC 27001, KATAKRI, OWASP, and VAHTI standards.
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the stated purposes and to fulfill legal obligations. We regularly delete outdated and unnecessary personal data from our records.
Personal Data
Personal data refers to information that can likely be used to identify and recognize an individual. Typical examples of personal data include names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.
Saarni Learning as Data Controller
We act as a data controller when we determine the purpose and methods of processing your personal data. We are also a data controller when we collect personal data about you as a customer, potential customer, job applicant, or end user of our service. We process personal data, among other things, to fulfill contracts or based on legitimate interests.
Processing of Personal Data on Behalf of Customers
Our services involve the processing of personal data of our customers’ employees and other individuals. In this case, the customer determines the purpose of processing personal data and acts as the data controller, while Saarni Learning acts as the data processor. The customer determines and is responsible for the legal bases for processing personal data. The customer must also comply with the data controller’s obligation to provide information to data subjects.
Sub-processors and Data Transfers
We may use sub-processors for the processing of personal data. In this case, we may transfer personal data outside the EU. When using sub-processors, Saarni Learning enters into data processing agreements with them. We ensure the legal basis for international transfers, for example, through EU standard contractual clauses. More specific and often more restrictive terms and conditions for Saarni Learning’s services are available in the applicable service descriptions.

You have all the rights under EU privacy laws. For example, you can request a summary of your personal data, request corrections to incorrect personal data, and object to the processing of personal data.
