2 Name of the register

Stakeholder register for Sitra’s Democracy Drinks series of events.

3 Purpose of personal data processing

Sitra processes personal data for the purposes defined in the act on the Finnish Innovation Fund (717/1990) as part of its tasks and objectives as they relate to the Democracy Drinks series of events organised within the democracy and participation theme of the digital power and democracy project and the related newsletter.

Democracy Drinks is a series of events that Sitra organises together with its partners. Events are held approximately once per month and the responsibility for the organisation is rotated among the organisers. All partners may send out invitations to an individual event. Each partner sends out the invitations independently to their own customers and stakeholders without the personal data of the invitees being shared with Sitra or other partners. Sitra will mainly invite to the events parties listed in its stakeholder and marketing register and processes this personal data in accordance with the register’s privacy policy. Parties invited to the Democracy Drinks events are not required to respond to the invitations and, as such, participants’ personal data is not collected or shared between the organising parties.

Recipients of the invitations to the Democracy Drinks events are offered the opportunity to join a Democracy Drinks mailing list maintained by Sitra. A newsletter is sent out at regular intervals and it includes information on future Democracy Drinks and possibly other democracy-related topics. Subscribing to the newsletter is done using a digital platform used by Sitra with a link provided in the invitation. This register comprises the personal data related to the subscription and sending of the newsletter and the data is processed in accordance with this privacy policy.

Sitra will review the personal data identified in section 5 of the privacy policy on the basis of consent. Consent for processing the personal data is requested in connection with subscription to the Democracy Drinks mailing list.
