In this privacy notice, we describe how we process your personal data when you work with us in connection with Skanska's projects. The data subjects include, for example, Skanska's contractual partners and their employees, as well as any other persons working on Skanska's projects and construction sites, as well as partners who are not in an employment relationship with the controller.
The main purpose of the processing of personal data is to ensure that the operations of the projects and construction sites for which Skanska is responsible are in accordance with legislation, contractual obligations and other guidelines, as well as safe and fair for everyone. We also process your personal data in order to be able to sell and market our services and to develop our business and the customer experience of our customers.
The data controller for the processing of personal data described in this Privacy Notice is Skanska Oy and each subsidiary, as well as Skanska CDF Oy ("Skanska" or "we") for its own projects, construction sites and other applications.
Skanska Oy's subsidiaries are Skanska Talonrakennus Oy, Skanska Infra Oy and Skanska Rakennuskone Oy.
We mainly collect the data directly from you when you do business with us, for example, at our construction site or other project, or when you interact with us in other similar ways.
Personal data is also collected from the public tax number register and other registers and information services, such as the Trade Register, Asiakastieto Oy, VastuuGroup Oy and other similar data sources commonly used in the construction sector.
The information we process about you ultimately depends on the business relationship between us. When you do business with us, we typically process the following information about you:
(a) Identification and contact info
(b) Qualifications and certificates
(c) Remuneration and right to work
(d) Additional info regarding foreign workers
(e) Information on the financial status of a corporate customer
(f) Access control logs, photos and video surveillance footage
(g) Website cookies
(h) Other data processed on a case-by-case basis
The main purpose of the processing of personal data is to ensure that all operations on the projects and construction sites for which Skanska is responsible are carried out in accordance with legislation, our contractual obligations and other guidelines, and that the conditions are safe and fair for everyone.
Just as the scope of the personal data we process, the respective legal bases also depend on the details of our business relationship. However, in Skanska's operations, the processing of personal data is usually based on one of the following four legal bases:
Skanska’s legal obligations. Skanska has an obligation directly derived from the law to e.g.:
Skanska’s contractual obligations in case we have entered into a contract directly with you.

Consent. In certain situations, the processing of your personal data may be based on your consent.
We may disclose your personal data as required and permitted by applicable law:
As a general principle, personal data is not transferred outside the European Union or the European Economic Area (EU/EEA). In certain situations, however, service providers or other processors involved in the processing of personal data may be located outside the EU/EEA.
Personal data may be transferred to third countries in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and subject to appropriate safeguards. Such safeguards include, among others, standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission, adequacy decisions, and other transfer mechanisms permitted under applicable data protection laws.
We only store personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes specified in this Privacy Notice, unless otherwise required by law. Any unnecessary data is deleted at intervals in accordance with Skanska's data storage standard.
