Purpose of processing personal data and legal basis for processing personal data

We use your personal data to manage and develop University of Oulu external relations and partnerships. Personal data is specifically used for communications regarding the University of Oulu activities and events as well as for marketing purposes, event and concept management, and donor prospecting (excluding Kummi families and Spouse network and programme for the spouses of international staff of the University of Oulu).

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is legitimate interest as the significant bond between the university and the external stakeholders (alumni, donors, friends of the university, mentors, Kummi Families, spouses of international staff) has been built through studies and completing a degree, donation or other form of activities or cooperation. The processing of the data makes it possible for the university to manage the stakeholder relationship and maintain contact.

Regular sources of data

Upon graduation or afterwards alumni are encouraged to join the alumni register. The university's CRM system serves as the alumni register which can be accessed only for the university personnel. The alumni register is accessible only for the university personnel managing the alumni relations. Alumni education data is updated from the student records system. Alumni can update or modify their data through a alumni register form. Alumni may also request to have their data removed from the alumni register.

To manage alumni relations, we update the study and diploma information from the University's student records system, as well as address information through the Population Information System.

Donor data is collected from the online donation form, deed of donation, and as for bank transfers to University of Oulu accounts, copies of statements of accounts. Data of other stakeholders is collected from registration or sign-up information. Contact person data for organisations providing the University of Oulu with traineeship positions is gathered from traineeship agreements and feedback forms. Address information may be updated through the Population Information System. We will add data on communications you have received from us and what events and activities you have participated in. We collect data of corporations from publicly available registers and registers that can be obtained against payment. We may collect personal data from publicly available registers.

Data of spouses of international staff is collected from the online registration form when registered for the spouse network and programme for the spouses of international staff. Data is also collected from sign-up information for events and activities.
