User register of the Internal Security Portal

Purpose of processing of personal data

The registration details of the Internal Security Portal users are needed for managing the portal's client relationships. The user creates a user ID to log into the online service or signs in with an existing social media ID. A registered user may add, for example, an event, project or workspace in the service. The user may also edit the events, projects and workspaces that he or she has added or which he or she has the right to maintain. In addition, the user can comment on content found in the online service.

The Internal Security Portal can use the email addresses of users registered in the service for providing information about matters related to the Portal and for client surveys. The email addresses of those who have subscribed to the Internal Security Portal newsletter are used for sending the newsletter.
If you need more information about the processing of your personal data at the Ministry, please contact the Ministry's Data Protection Officer.
