Visitor tracking

The purpose of visitor tracking is not to identify individual visitors and the visitors’ IP addresses are not saved as they are. The IP address is used to identify the organisation that registered the address and the geographical location. The location data is indicative: its accuracy is good at the country level and moderate at the regional and city/town level.

Technical log data of the website and telecommunications

Technical log data is collected on the use of the website and the telecommunications connections used to access it. This data is necessary for the provision of the online service and for ensuring information security. The log data includes information that can be linked to an individual, such as the IP address and the time stamp. This log data is only used to enable the provision of the service via the telecommunications network and to investigate any disruptions and information security incidents.

Personal data processing related to the provision of the online service and ensuring information security is necessary for the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency to comply with its legal obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation.

The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency’s online services are provided by Valtori. Valtori’s partner Cloudflare Inc. utilises one per cent of the visitor log data to develop their service. This data is transferred to the United States for this purpose. The legal basis for the transfer of data is the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
