This privacy policy contains information on how your personal data is collected, used, stored or otherwise processed by Comsel System Oy (hereinafter "Data Controller", "we" or "us") in connection with the use of our services, as well as about your rights and how you can contact us.
We use your personal data to provide you with our services and to offer you the best possible way to communicate with us. The Controller's purpose with the processing of your personal data is to manage and maintain customer service, develop, maintain, administer and monitor customer relationships and to use them for product development, technical support, advertising and marketing purposes as further described in section 2.
When you register for our services, we collect your name and email address. We may also record your payment details if you use a service that requires this.
The registered data is needed to identify you as a user of our services, to manage the customer relationship and to charge you for the services, where applicable.
In connection with the installation of our equipment, we save data regarding the installation (for example, results of installation testing, pictures from the installation site, information about peripherals installed in connection with installation).
When you use our services, we save information about your consumption and charging history, including where and when you have charged your car. This allows you to track how you use this service and for us to enable the services as well as to charge you according to usage, if applicable
If you use any of our services or products and connect Comsel manufactured products to your account, information about the products' place of use, name and other data regarding your product (applicable product model, serial number, date of manufacture, warranty period, configurations, data regarding communication methods such as telecommunications service provider, signal strength, data consumption, network addresses) will be linked.
In connection with the connection of other equipment not manufactured by Comsel, data regarding login data or access codes to pair your third-party product with Comsel's services may also be saved.
If you use a service that links your consumption data to Fingrid's data hub, information related to your electricity consumption and electricity contract is stored and saved from Fingrid's data hub. The contract data mainly includes the electricity sales and distribution companies with which you have an agreement, the point of consumption code (GSRN), the main fuse size and pricing model (fixed price or spot price) and electricity consumption.
This data is used to deliver the service.
For security reasons, we store the history of logins and requests that reach our systems in connection with the use of all our services.

We can carry out a credit check for companies and coverage reservations on private individuals' debit or credit cards. When conducting the credit check, we may collect data from third-party sources, such as from public sources.
Registered users' personal data is processed in order to fulfil contractual obligations and for our legitimate interest. When you use our services without registering for, for example, a one-time payment for a charging service, you can use the service without registering for our service. In such cases, we only process your payment information.
The legislation in some countries requires you to provide personal data in order to pay (name, address, e-mail). In that case, we process your email address as part of the charging transaction. When using a one-off payment, your personal data is only processed to comply with statutory requirements and the service contract for the service and associated payment transactions.
In addition to the personal data associated with the use of our services as a registered or unregistered user, we process the data in the app to fulfill the service agreement and for our legitimate interests, with the intention of improving your experience of the service.
We may request access to your camera or images to allow you to scan QR codes relating to our Services.

Your device (which is linked to your account, if you are logged in as a registered user) can be used to identify you when you make a support request through the app.

The personal data is stored for as long as the customer relationship lasts. After the customer relationship has ended, personal data may be stored for a maximum of one year. Personal data may be stored for a longer period of time for operational needs (e.g. for backup) or if permitted or required by applicable law (e.g. the Accounting Act) or if the Controller's contractual obligations towards a third party require a longer storage period.
