Purpose of processing data
Users of the online application respond to questions about their physical activity and receive feedback and a summary of the sufficiency of their physical activity in comparison to the physical activity recommendation. The users may also save the summary on their own computer. In addition, users can read tips related to changing their physical activity habits via various internet links collected for the application. The application is open to everyone, and it can be used at no cost on the UKK Institute online platform.
Principles of processing data
Based on the responses provided by users, UKK Institute monitors the number of application users and the physical activity habits of those users. After responding to the questions, users are also given an opportunity to provide feedback regarding use of the application. The data collected from the physical activity information and user feedback is utilised as annual summaries to develop the application.
Data recipients or categories of recipients
The responses provided by online application users are saved on a server managed by Seravo Oy, which can only be accessed by the server administrator and persons designated by UKK Institute.
Cancellation of registration and removal of data
The data saved on the server does not contain any personal data or other such information that would make it possible to identify or separate the responses provided by an individual. As a result, the responses cannot be removed from the data at a later time.
Duration of data retention
Anonymous data collected from user responses is saved on a server maintained by Seravo Oy. UKK Institute analyses the data accumulated from the responses at the required intervals in order to develop the application. In this case, the data is copied and saved on an internal UKK Institute server, which is protected with passwords. The data will be deleted from the Seravo Oy server in spring 2025, and at two-year intervals after that. The data will be deleted from the UKK Institute server in spring 2033 at the latest.
Data types

The user can respond to feedback questions about use of the application on a pop-up form.
Origin of the data
The online application users respond to questions on a UKK Institute online platform, and their responses are saved on a server maintained by Seravo Oy.
