Privacy policy
Data privacy statement
We process personal data which is necessary to provide our customers with insurance services. Examples include; when an insured person suffers an injury, or a claim is made against a policyholder. In such cases we need personal data about the injured party in order to meet our obligations as per the insurance contract and to establish the eligibility of the claim. It is voluntary to provide personal data, but without necessary personal information we will not be able to provide the claimant with a correct compensation payment.
Protector Vakuutus (Protector) processes personal data in accordance with applicable laws. Your privacy is important to us, and we focus on ensuring that your personal data is processed in accordance with the principles of confidentiality, integrity, accessibility and robustness. If a security breach occurs, which entails a significant risk to our customer’s or others’ rights, we will report this to the relevant parties.
Please note that we recommend sending information containing sensitive personal data or social security number(s) via encrypted e-mail.

Why and how do we process personal data?
We process personal data for the following main purposes:
- The administration of our insurance products, including providing offers on new insurance products. This may be in order to identify you as a policyholder or a claimant.
- Dealing with specific claims, including assessing whether compensation is payable.
- Human resources (HR) administration, including recruitment.
Our processing of personal data is handled by our competent staff. We use professional systems, with robust security to store and process your personal data.
Only a select group of people are able to process and access potentially sensitive information in our professional systems. Physical documents containing sensitive personal data are securely locked away when not being processed by the case handler.
All staff of Protector are subject to obligations of confidentiality. Our employees have a duty of confidentiality both in relation to external persons and companies as well as internally between colleagues. The duty of confidentiality does not cease upon the cessation of employment.
What types of personal data does Protector process?
Information processed at Protector can be categorized as follows:
- Administrative data such as name, address, phone number, e-mail address and civil registration number.
- Information about insured risk and coverage.
- Health information.
- Information about injury, loss and/or damage required to determine the outcome of an insurance claim.
- Information about a third party as a result of this person’s association with a policy, such as benefits.
Which bases for processing does Protector use?
In connection with the above-mentioned main processing purposes, we process personal data on the following bases:
- Processing is necessary to conclude or fulfil an insurance contract.
- Processing is necessary to comply with the legal obligation incumbent on us as the data controller. For example, we may be required to share information with a public authority, such as a municipality or relevant tax authority.
- Processing is necessary for us or a third party to pursue a legitimate interest.
- Processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of a legal claim.
- If you have given your consent. For example, if you have consented to us obtaining information concerning your health.
Special categories of personal data
In some cases Protector will process special categories of personal data, including information about health. I these cases we will ask power of attorney to collect personal information about you from, for example; doctors, hospitals, other health personnel or public registers. For claims regarding statutory insurances, we have the right to request information without a separate power of attorney.
The power of attorney is limited to just include necessary information so Protector will be able to fulfil its legal obligation.
If power of attorney is not given it might have a consequence in the decision of the compensation claim.
Who do we share personal data with?
We may provide personal data to public authorities if required by a statutory obligation to disclose information.
We may disclose personal data to third parties if permitted by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Personal Data Act. In some cases, we may need to provide personal information about you in order to fulfil our agreement with you as a policyholder/injured party. This applies, for example, in the event of an evaluation by a professional specialist. If we provide information to a third party in accordance with the law, we will inform you thereof, if it is not explicitly required in law or regulation that the disclosure of the information shall be kept confidential.
If it is necessary for us to use a data processor, the data processor will only process personal data in accordance with detailed instructions from Protector. This is to safeguard your rights and protect your data. Any third party receiving personal data from us is subject to the obligations of confidentiality by contractual agreement.
We may also provide information after obtaining your consent. For example, this could be health information provided to another insurance company with whom you have an accident insurance policy.
How long do we store personal information about you?
We do not store personal data longer than is necessary to fulfil the purpose of processing and what is required by the law. If you have a customer relationship or personal injury claim registered with us, personal information about you will be stored. This is due to possible future claims, which can then be linked to the relevant insurance history.
Protector will delete the personal data when there is no longer a basis for processing of personal data. This is in most cases dependent upon the statute of limitation for that specific insurance.

You have the right to receive any personal information we have stored about you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

Cookie policy (in Finnish)
Tietoa evästeistä (cookie)
Eväste (cookie) on pieni tiedosto, jonka web-palvelin tallentaa käyttäjän laitteelle lähettääkseen tiedot takaisin alkuperäiselle palvelimelle. Evästeet tallentavat tietoja internetin käyttäjien verkkokäyttäytymisestä, kuten millä verkkosivuilla käyttäjä on vieraillut ja millä kielellä käyttäjä käyttää internetiä. Evästeiden avulla voidaan jatkuvasti parantaa ja tarjota verkkosivulla vieraileville käyttäjille entistä parempaa ja hyödyllisempää sisältöä.
Selaimen valikosta voi valita minkä tyyppisiä evästeitä tallennetaan tietokoneelle. Lisätietoja evästeiden hyväksymisestä, hylkäämisestä tai poistamisesta saa osoitteessa https://www.traficom.fi/fi/toimintamme/saantely-ja-valvonta/evasteet
Huomaa, jos poistat evästeet ne luodaan uudelleen seuraavalla kerralla, kun vierailet verkkosivulla (paitsi jos olet muuttanut asetuksia siten, ettei evästeiden luontia sallita).
Mitä evästeitä Protectorin vakuutusjärjestelmä käyttää?
Tietosuoja on meille Protectorilla tärkeä, ja olemme sitoutuneet varmistamaan, ettei tallentamiamme henkilötietoja käytetä väärin. Tästä syystä käytämme vain evästeitä, jotka eivät säilytä tietoja pidempään kuin on ehdottoman välttämätöntä. Tietoja joita kerätään evästeiden avulla ei luovuteta ulkopuolisille. Yhtiömme puolesta vain ne henkilöt joilla on nimenomainen tarkoitus työn puolesta, voivat käyttää tietoja.
Evästeet eivät levitä haittaohjelmia tai muulla tavalla vahingoittaa tietokonetta.
Utma, utmb, utmbc, umbt, utmbz
Verkkosivumme käyttää Google Analyticsin first-party evästeitä, joiden tunnukset ovat utma, utmb, utmbc umbt ja utmbz.Google Analytics on web-analyysityökalu, joka kerää tietoja sivuston käytöstä. Tallennetut tiedot sisältävät mm: millä kotisivujemme sivuilla käyttäjä on vieraillut, vierailun kesto ja maa josta verkkosivua käytetään.
IP-osoite määritellään henkilökohtaiseksi tiedoksi, koska se voidaan jäljittää tiettyyn laitteistoon ja sitten (useimmiten) yksilöön. Sivustolta kerättävät Google Analyticsin tietojen (myös IP-osoitteet) evästeet kootaan yhteen, eikä niitä voi yhdistää yksilöön. Siksi Google Analyticsin keräämiä IP-osoitetta ei pidetä henkilötietoina.
Omat evästeet - "JWT"
Protector Vakuutus käyttää evästeitä tietojen tallentamiseen palveluiden käyttäjistä. JWT-evästettä voidaan pitää funktionaalisena evästeenä. Käyttämällä näitä evästeitä saamme tietoa käyttäjätunnuksesta, identiteetistä ja puhelinnumerosta sekä tietoja siitä, mihin aikaan käyttäjät ovat kirjautuneet palveluihimme. Nämä evästeet tarjoavat pääsyn palveluun, jossa sisäänkirjautuminen on välttämätöntä turvaten samalla tietoturvan ja käyttäjäystävällisyyden. JWT-evästeiden avulla kerätyt tiedot poistetaan automaattisesti, kun palvelusta kirjaudutaan ulos. Huomaa, että evästettä ei poisteta automaattisesti, jos suljet selaimen kirjautumatta ensin ulos.Huomaa, että kirjaamme lokitietoja, kun käyttäjä on kirjautuneena palveluun. Lokitietojen rekisteröinti tehdään sivuston turvallisuuden ja eheyden varmistamiseksi. Emme tallenna tietoja käyttäjien toiminnasta muutoin kuin silloin kun se on ehdottoman välttämätöntä.
Jos sinulla on evästeiden käyttöä koskevia kysymyksiä, ota yhteyttä sähköpostitse tai postilla:
Sähköposti: DPO@protectorvakuutus.fi (HUOM tähän sähköpostiin vain tietosuojaan liittyvät kysymykset. Asiakas- ja korvauspalvelun tiedot löytyvät Ota yhteyttä-osiosta.)
