As the sole practitioner at TL Jalkaterapia, I am committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how I handle the information collected through website: suomipodo.fi and why I may need to collect certain personal data from you.

2. Personal Data Processed and Purpose of Processing

I primarily collect information directly from you—for example, through contact forms or newsletter subscriptions. Where permitted by law, I may also supplement this information from official sources or other registers.

I process personal data to manage customer relationships, enable communication, and improve my services. With your consent, the data may also be used to send newsletters and targeted communications.

3. Sources of Information

The information is mainly obtained from the user themselves, for example through forms or newsletter subscriptions. The information may be supplemented, within the limits permitted by law, from official sources or other registers.

4. Data processors

Your data may be processed through my website’s technical platform, newsletter system, and analytics tools such as Google Analytics. I do not disclose your data to third parties without a valid reason, nor do I transfer it outside the EU/EEA without appropriate safeguards.

I use Vello as my appointment booking system in cooperation with EJT Hyvinvointi. EJT Hyvinvointi acts as the data controller for personal information collected through the Vello service and is responsible for storing and managing that data. I do not store customer data collected through Vello.

All data is transmitted via a secure SSL connection and stored safely. Only individuals with a work-related need have access to the data, and they are bound by confidentiality obligations. Appointment-related data is protected within the Vello system by EJT Hyvinvointi, which complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
