The data is processed by the persons maintaining the contents of the service in the ministries, as well as by cooperation partners and their subcontractors who produce the service.

Surveys and event registration
We collect the personal data needed to conduct surveys and register participants for events.
We usually process personal data based on the person's consent. The processing may take place according to the nature of the event. We also process personal data if this is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of the official authority vested in the controller. (Article 6, paragraph 1, point (e) of the General Data Protection Regulation.)
The data stored
The data collected varies depending on the case. When registering for an event, participants are typically requested to provide their name and email address. Depending on the event, other personal data may also be requested.
Disclosure of data
We may disclose data on a case-by-case basis to parties involved with the surveys, such as the security control personnel of ministries. Our subcontractors process personal data in their role as service providers.
Period for which the personal data is stored
For surveys, the appropriate storage period varies depending on the case. In the case of registrations, the storage period is the time required for arranging the event and carrying out follow-up activities, except in certain cases where more time is required for financial administration, archiving, or the retention of technical backup copies.
