- Register name
The Finnish Musicians’ Union’s membership register.
- Reasons for processing personal information
The membership register functions, within the parameters of the Finnish Associations Act, as a list of the members of the departments of the Finnish Musicians’ Union. The register serves the union’s statistical goals, internal communications, distribution of member benefits, and collection of membership fees.
- Registered group
The registered group includes persons who have become members of the Finnish Musicians’ Union in writing and individuals who have resigned or been discharged from the union, within the time limits stated in Section 9.
- Data stored in the membership register
The register is used to process the personal and contact details of the members of the Finnish Musicians’ Union, alongside other necessary information on membership and service provision.
This information is as follows:
- member name and personal identification number
- birthplace
contact details - date of joining and/or resignation/discharge
- union branch
- union-allocated membership number
- instrument
- employer
- possible entrepreneur status
possible student status - salary information
- information specific to the duration of an employment relationship, such as maternity leave
- positions of responsibility in union and union department
- membership of Unemployment Fund Finka (start and end date)
- membership of any other trade union
- payment of membership fees
- refusal to receive direct marketing
- Regulated sources of information
For the most part, data is gathered directly from registered members. Membership data is also collected from members’ employers, while the union’s departments provide information on membership approvals and positions of responsibility in the union.
- Regulated disclosures and transfers of personal information
Information may be disclosed outside the Musicians’ Union as follows: membership data to the Finnish tax administration; member contact details to SAK, the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions, for research purposes; addresses to the Kaleva insurance company, for IF union insurance; data to the Musicians’ Health Fund on members insured by that organisation; and data on joint members—in accordance with the cooperation agreement—to the Finka Unemployment Fund. Addresses are sent to the member magazine producers and to the providers of union membership cards. Data will not be released to the European Union or outside the European economic area.
- Protection of the register
a) Data stored electronically
Union personnel authorised to use the register have personal user IDs with access passwords that are changed every three months, allowing those personnel to search for and store information in an electronic format, to the extent that their positions require.
b) Hard copies
Hard copies of register information are stored on union premises, which are locked when the union staff are elsewhere. The files are kept in locked storage spaces.
- Sub-registers created
When arranging the furthering of member interests and the promotion of union membership benefits, sub-registers are created, such as for legal aid and for artists’ residences. These sub-registers are stored separately in the register official’s personal folder, in password-protected excel tables and word documents.
- Storage of personal information
Personal information will be stored in the register for as long as the person in question is a union member, following which the data will be stored for ten years, on the basis of the justifiable interest of the register official (KKO 2017: 15). Personal data may also be stored for longer than ten years, if required by the applicable law or by the Musicians’ Union’s contractual obligations to third parties.
- A person’s right of inspection
A person has the right to know what information about himself or herself is recorded in the register.
- A registered person’s right to refuse
A person registered has the right to refuse the processing of data relating to himself or herself for the purposes of direct advertising. Refusals can be sent to a register official.
- Information correction
A register official will, without undue delay, unprompted or at the demand of the person registered, remove or complete personal information that is inaccurate, unnecessary, incomplete, or out-of-date in processing terms. Requests for correction must be sent to a register official.
