In this Privacy Notice, we describe our access control operations and how we process personal data collected through access control, i.e. the log data of our access control systems and video surveillance footage in which the data subject can be identified.
The data are collected directly from the data subjects themselves when they move within an area subject to access control, such as our offices or construction sites
The controller for the processing activities described in this Privacy Notice is Skanska Oy and each of its subsidiaries, as well as Skanska CDF Oy (“Skanska” or “we”), in relation to their own projects, construction sites and other places of use.
Skanska Oy’s subsidiaries are Skanska Talonrakennus Oy, Skanska Infra Oy and Skanska Rakennuskone Oy.
The data are collected directly from the data subjects in connection with access control. Access control is indicated by clear and visible notices in the environment where the surveillance is carried out.
In connection with access control carried out by Skanska, the following personal data are processed:
Video surveillance recordings of persons moving in Skanska’s premises and in the video surveillance area
Log data collected in connection with access control at construction sites:
The purpose of the processing of personal data is to ensure the personal safety of Skanska’s employees and/or other persons present in Skanska’s premises, to ensure general corporate security, and to protect the controller’s property. The purpose of processing personal data is also to monitor the proper functioning of production processes and to prevent and address identified hazardous situations and possible misuse.
The controller has taken into account the requirements imposed by national special legislation, in particular the Act on the Protection of Privacy in Working Life, regarding video surveillance.

The processing of data collected in connection with access control at construction sites is based on compliance with the statutory processing and retention obligations laid down in the relevant legislation. The processing of access control data may also be necessary for the establishment, presentation or defence of legal claims.
As a rule, personal data processed in connection with video surveillance and access control are not disclosed to third parties. However, on a case-by-case basis, we may disclose your personal data in situations 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.
Personal data are retained only for as long and only to the extent necessary for the processing activities described above. Video surveillance recordings are deleted when they are no longer needed for the purpose of video surveillance. Individual video surveillance records may, however, be retained and processed for a longer period if this is necessary for the establishment, presentation or defence of a legal claim, or if there is another lawful basis for retention.
The retention period for access control data at construction sites is determined in accordance with the retention periods laid down in the relevant legislation.
