1. Summary of Key Information  

We, Retail Logistics Excellence – RELEX Oy and its affiliates (“RELEX”), may take photos and videos of the external and internal events we organize and of our stands and exhibitions in other events such as trade shows. If you attend our events or visit our stands, exhibitions or similar, you may be captured in the photos or videos. We may use the photos and videos in our internal and external communication and marketing.  

If you wish not to be photographed or videoed, please let us know at the beginning of the event or upon arrival to our stand, exhibition or similar event. We will aim to exclude you from the photos and videos.  

Please find more details on the use of the photos and videos below as well as information on your legal rights. 

2. What is the purpose and the legal basis of processing personal data? 

The purpose for taking the photos and videos is mainly to collect materials we can use in our internal and external communication and marketing. The photos and videos may also be archived for potential use in the future regarding, for example, company histories.   

The legal basis for the use is our legitimate interest to document our events, maintain our employee, partner and customer relationships and perform marketing and employee branding activities. 

3. What data do we process?  

We collect photos and videos from the events, stands, exhibitions and similar.  

We may also ask you for your name, title, role and employer in connection with taking the photos and videos in case we will use such details in our external and internal communication and marketing together with the photo or video. We may also get such identifiers from our personal data registers such as customer register or employee register. 

4. From where do we receive data? 

We collect the information by taking the photos and videos and by asking you for your information. We may also use information from our existing personal data registers.  

5. To whom do we disclose data, and do we transfer data outside the EU or the EEA? 

We may use professional photographers, videographers and other subcontractors that collect and process the personal data on our behalf. We store the personal data in our IT systems that may be licensed or purchased from external service providers.  

We may transfer the personal data outside the EU/EEA or the personal data may be collected outside the EU/EEA. When personal data is processed outside the EU/EEA, we make sure that the subcontractor has committed to use the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses, together with supplementary measures, where applicable.

We are committed to keeping your personal data safe. RELEX will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in order to ensure sufficient information security. Security measures are put in place in order to prevent unauthorized access to and manipulation of your personal data.  

We take appropriate steps to address online security, physical security, risk of data loss and other such risks taking into consideration the risk represented by the processing and the nature of the data being protected. Also, we limit access to our databases containing personal data to authorized persons having a justified need to access such information. 

We will store the photos and videos as long as it is necessary for the processing purposes of internal and external communication and marketing and the documentation of company events. We will regularly evaluate the need to keep the photos and videos and remove such that are deemed no longer necessary for future use. Even in such cases, photos and videos that have been used in, for example sales presentations, press releases and other materials, will remain in the published and distributed versions. 

7. What are your legal rights?
