Privacy Policy for Nuotiopaikkahaku

Last updated: 26 October 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Nuotiopaikkahaku.

This Privacy Policy explains how Nuotiopaikkahaku ("the App", "we", "our" or "us") collects, uses, stores, protects and shares information when you use our application and its associated services.

We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently. This policy explains what information may be processed, why it is processed, who may receive it and what rights you have regarding your personal information.

This policy applies specifically to Nuotiopaikkahaku, including its features, associated website and supporting services, where applicable.

By using the App, you acknowledge that you have been provided with this Privacy Policy. Where consent is legally required, we will request it separately.

2. Developer Information and Contact Details

Application name: Nuotiopaikkahaku

Developer / data controller: Jeffrey James Nenonen

Privacy contact email: jmilliner@sky.com

The developer identified above is responsible for determining how and why personal information is processed through the App, subject to applicable data protection laws.

For privacy questions, requests to access or delete your information, or concerns about how your information is handled, please contact us using the email address provided above.

3. Information We May Collect

The information processed by Nuotiopaikkahaku depends on the features you use and the services integrated into the App.

3.1 Location Information

If the App provides location-based features, it may access or process location information to help you find nearby places, view locations on a map or navigate to relevant destinations.

Depending on the features implemented, this may include:

• Approximate location.
• Precise device location, if permission is requested and granted.
• Location information you manually enter or select.
• Search locations, map coordinates or destinations.
• Location information transmitted to a mapping service to display maps or calculate routes.

Where device location permission is required, the App should request the appropriate permission before accessing your device's location.

You can manage location permissions through your device settings. Disabling location access may affect features that depend on your current position.

We do not intentionally collect continuous background location information unless such functionality is implemented, appropriately disclosed and permitted under applicable law.

Important: The actual collection of location information depends on the App's implementation and the mapping or location services it uses.

3.2 Information You Provide

If the App allows you to submit information, we may process the information you choose to provide, such as:

• Search terms and filters.
• Favourite locations or saved places.
• Feedback, comments or reports.
• Information submitted when contacting the developer.
• Other information you voluntarily submit through the App.

We will only describe these categories as collected data if the corresponding features exist and process that information.

3.3 Technical and Device Information

When you use the App, technical information may be processed by the App, its hosting provider or integrated third-party services.

Depending on the implementation, this may include:

• Device type and operating system.
• App version and technical configuration.
• IP address.
• Browser type, where applicable.
• Diagnostic information and crash reports.
• Server request timestamps and error logs.
• Security-related information used to detect abuse or protect the service.

Some technical information may be processed automatically when your device communicates with our servers or third-party services.

We will update this policy if the App introduces additional technical data collection.

3.4 Account Information

If the App does not require an account, you can use its available features without registering an account.

If account creation or sign-in functionality is introduced, the App may process information such as your email address, account identifier, authentication information and account preferences.

Any account-related information collected will be used to provide and maintain the relevant account functionality.

Where accounts can be created, we will provide an appropriate method for requesting account and associated data deletion.

3.5 Information We Do Not Intentionally Request

Unless required for a specific, disclosed feature, we do not intentionally request sensitive personal information such as medical records, financial account details or government identification numbers.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through feedback or other free-text fields unless it is necessary and specifically requested for a legitimate purpose.

4. How We Use Information

Where applicable, information processed through Nuotiopaikkahaku may be used for the following purposes:

• Providing the service: Delivering the App's core features and displaying relevant information.
• Location-based functionality: Finding nearby places and supporting map or navigation features.
• Search functionality: Processing searches and filters to return relevant results.
• Saving preferences: Maintaining favourites, settings or other user-selected information, where supported.
• Maintaining reliability: Diagnosing errors, troubleshooting technical issues and improving performance.
• Security: Detecting misuse, preventing abuse and protecting the App and its infrastructure.
• Communication: Responding to messages, questions, feedback and privacy requests.
• Legal compliance: Meeting applicable legal obligations and responding to lawful requests.

We will not use personal information for purposes incompatible with the purposes explained in this policy without an appropriate legal basis.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or similar legislation applies, we process personal information on one or more of the following legal bases:

Consent: Where you have given consent to a particular activity, such as optional processing that requires consent.

Performance of a contract: Where processing is necessary to provide a service you have requested or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Legitimate interests: Where processing is necessary for legitimate interests, such as maintaining service security, preventing abuse or improving reliability, provided those interests do not override your rights and freedoms.

Legal obligations: Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

The applicable legal basis depends on the specific information and processing activity.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information as a business practice.

However, some information may be shared with third parties when necessary to operate the App, provide requested functionality, maintain security or comply with the law.

The categories of potential recipients are described below.

6.1 Hosting and Infrastructure Providers

The App may use third-party hosting, cloud infrastructure, database or server providers to operate its backend and store or process information.

These providers may process technical information, IP addresses, requests and information transmitted through the App as necessary to provide their services.

Examples of providers may include cloud hosting companies, database providers and application deployment platforms.

The specific providers used by Nuotiopaikkahaku will depend on its deployed infrastructure.

6.2 Mapping and Location Service Providers

If the App integrates third-party maps, geocoding, location search or routing services, relevant information may be sent to those providers.

Depending on the integration, this could include map requests, search queries, coordinates, approximate or precise location information, IP addresses and technical request information.

These providers process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual arrangements.

Where possible, location and search information will be limited to what is necessary to provide the requested feature.

6.3 Analytics and Diagnostic Providers

If analytics, crash reporting or diagnostic services are integrated into the App, relevant technical or usage information may be shared with those providers.

This information may be used to understand performance, identify errors and improve reliability.

Any analytics or diagnostic services that collect personal information must be reflected accurately in this policy and in any applicable app-store privacy declarations.

6.4 AI or External API Providers

If the App uses artificial intelligence services or other external APIs, information necessary to fulfil a request may be transmitted to the relevant provider.

The information transmitted depends on the feature and integration.

We will disclose relevant providers and processing purposes when such integrations are used. We will not intentionally send personal information to an AI provider unless it is necessary for the requested functionality or otherwise lawfully processed.

6.5 Legal and Security-Related Disclosures

Information may be disclosed where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law or a valid legal request.
• Protect the rights, safety or security of users or other individuals.
• Investigate suspected fraud, abuse or security incidents.
• Establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

We will limit such disclosures to what is legally permitted and reasonably necessary.

6.6 Business Transfers

If the App or its associated business is sold, transferred, reorganised or merged, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements and appropriate safeguards.

6.7 Third-Party Services and Their Privacy Policies

Third-party services may operate under their own privacy policies and terms.

We encourage users to review the privacy information of any external service they access through the App.

We will identify the relevant categories of recipients and update this policy when our integrations or data-sharing practices change.

7. Location Privacy

Location information can be sensitive, and we aim to process it responsibly.

Where location functionality is available:

• Device location should only be accessed when the relevant permission and legal requirements are satisfied.
• Location information should be used for the purposes explained in this policy.
• Location information may be transmitted to third-party mapping or location providers when necessary for a requested feature.
• You can disable device location permission through your device settings.
• We will not intentionally track your location continuously in the background unless this functionality is implemented and appropriately disclosed.

If location information is stored on our servers, we will apply the retention and security principles described in this policy.

The App's actual location practices depend on its technical implementation and must be verified before publication.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

If the App includes a website or web-based components, cookies, local storage or similar technologies may be used to maintain functionality, remember preferences, protect sessions or support other disclosed purposes.

Essential technologies may be necessary to deliver the service.

Non-essential analytics or advertising technologies, where used, will be handled in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

The use of cookies depends on the App's actual website configuration and integrated services.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods depend on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

For example:

• Account information: Retained while the account is active and for any additional period required for legitimate operational or legal purposes.
• Saved preferences: Retained while needed to provide the relevant functionality or until deleted.
• Location and search information: Retained only as long as necessary for the feature involved, unless a longer period is justified and disclosed.
• Technical and security logs: Retained for a limited period appropriate to security, troubleshooting and operational needs.
• Support correspondence: Retained as long as necessary to address the request and maintain appropriate records.

Where information is no longer needed, we will delete it or take reasonable steps to anonymise it.

Backups may retain information for a limited period until the relevant backup is overwritten or securely deleted.

You may contact us to request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable legal requirements.

If the App supports account creation, users will be provided with an accessible way to request deletion of their account and associated personal information.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information processed through Nuotiopaikkahaku.

Depending on the infrastructure and information involved, these measures may include:

• HTTPS and TLS encryption for data transmitted between users and supported servers.
• Access controls and authentication for administrative systems.
• Appropriate protection of databases and application secrets.
• Security updates and maintenance.
• Monitoring and investigation of suspected security incidents.
• Limiting access to personal information to authorised parties who need it.

No method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security, but we aim to maintain safeguards appropriate to the risks involved.

A valid SSL/TLS certificate should be maintained for the website hosting this Privacy Policy and any relevant application endpoints.

11. International Data Transfers

Nuotiopaikkahaku may use service providers that operate in countries other than your own.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take steps required by applicable data protection law.

Depending on the circumstances, these steps may include relying on an adequacy decision, implementing appropriate contractual safeguards or using another lawful transfer mechanism.

Information about relevant international transfers and safeguards can be requested using the contact details provided in this policy.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of personal information.
• Request restriction of certain processing activities.
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Receive certain information in a portable format.
• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the privacy email address listed in Section 2.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. We will respond within the time limits required by applicable law.

Where GDPR applies, you may also complain to the relevant supervisory authority, including the authority in the country where you live, work or believe a data protection infringement occurred.

Some rights are subject to legal limitations and may not apply in every situation.

13. Children's Privacy

Nuotiopaikkahaku is not intended to collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect children's personal information where doing so would be unlawful.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can assess the situation and take appropriate action.

14. Third-Party Websites and Services

The App may link to external websites, maps or services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites that we do not operate.

When you follow an external link, the privacy policy and terms of the destination service may apply.

Please review the relevant third-party privacy information before providing personal information to an external service.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App's features, infrastructure, data practices or legal requirements change.

The latest version will be published on the official Privacy Policy webpage, together with its updated revision date.

If a material change requires additional notice or consent under applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to provide it.

We encourage users to review this page periodically.
