Metropolia coordinates Erasmus+ funded project MOVE ON (Development of learning MOVEment analysis utilizing ONline technologies and artificial intelligence in higher education). The purpose of processing the personal data contained therein is to create learning materials and microcredential courses about learning movement analysis in movement laboratory environment.
The processing of personal data in the personal data register is based on consent and legitimate interest. The processing of personal data that Metropolia may need to report to the project's funder, is based on legitimate interest. For voluntary students, teachers, and other participants or stakeholders appearing in educational materials, the processing of personal data is based on consent. Such personal data includes photographs, videos, and measurement results recorded in the motion laboratory.
The processing of personal data that Metropolia may need to report to the project's funder, is based on legitimate interest. Legitimate interest serves as the basis for processing because the project is funded by the Finnish National Agency for Education, and the funder has the right, based on the funding agreement, to receive information about the funded project, including details of individuals who participated in events. Metropolia's legitimate interest is to fulfill this contractual obligation and funder's legitimate interest is to be updated about the project.
The data subjects of the personnel register are Metropolia’s personnel, students and stakeholders or personnel, students and stakeholders from partner organisations.
The following personal data, to be used if funder requires, are stored in the personal data register:
- Name
- Organisation
- Signature
- Photos from partner meetings and workshops
The following personal data, to be used in learning materials, are stored in the personal data register:
- Photos
- Videos
- Results measured in movement laboratory
Personal data has been obtained from the data subject themselves, by camera, videocamera or measured in movement laboratory.
Personal data from the personal data register is disclosed to the following recipient groups:
Names, organizational details, and signature information, as well as photographs from project meetings and workshops, may be provided to the funder if specifically requested.
Photographs, videos and measurement results in the learning materials are published as educational content, for example, on YouTube and a specific learning platform developed during the MOVE ON project. Different social media channels, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram may be used in project communications.
Consent has been obtained from the data subjects for the use of images, videos, and measurement results in the manner described above.
Personal data in the register is processed in various information systems and software, and access to the personal data contained in the register is granted as necessary, e.g., via a technical interface during maintenance tasks or in the event of a fault. The external system providers and service providers behind these tools can be considered recipients of personal data and regular disclosures.
Personal data contained in Metropolia's personal data register is not primarily transferred outside the EU or EEA or to international organizations.
Personal data contained in the personal data register may be transferred outside the EU or EEA to implement IT services necessary for work or studies, based on case-by-case consideration. The destination country to which personal data is transferred is the United States. It is also possible that personal data is transferred to, for example, India, which often serves as the implementation country for the Helpdesk function / ICT user support frequently used by global ICT service providers.
International personal data transfers from Metropolia University of Applied Sciences' personal data register to the United States and/or other countries outside the EU/EEA are safeguarded by the protective measure provided for in Chapter V of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), such as on the basis of an adequacy decision (Art. 45) or, if such a decision has not been issued, by using standard contractual clauses (SCC) (Art. 46). SCC clauses are incorporated into the data processing agreement or other agreement concluded with the ICT service provider.
Only necessary data is transferred, and the transfer is carried out in accordance with and within the limits of data protection legislation. The security and data protection of the transfer are always agreed upon separately.
The personal data collected for the funder will be retained for six months after the project's completion. The data will be deleted by April 30, 2028.
Photographs, videos, and measurement results will remain as part of the educational materials.
Mikäli henkilötietojen käsittely perustuu rekisteröidyn antamaan suostumukseen, on rekisteröidyllä oikeus peruuttaa käsittelyyn antamansa suostumus milloin tahansa tämän vaikuttamatta suostumuksen perusteella ennen tätä suoritetun käsittelyn lainmukaisuuteen.
Metropoliassa kerättävien henkilötietojen käsittelyyn liittyvä suostumuksen peruuttaminen (peruuttamispyyntö) voidaan tehdä toimittamalla pyyntö johonkin kolmesta, edellä mainitusta Metropolian opiskelija- ja hakijapalveluiden toimistosta (tai henkilökunnan edustajan tapauksessa henkilöstöhallinnon yksikköön), jossa pyynnön esittämisen yhteydessä rekisteröidyn on todistettava henkilöllisyytensä.

According to Article 21 of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, the data subjects have the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning them which is based on point (e) of Article 6(1) (processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller), such as profiling based on these provisions. The data controller may no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
The request to stop processing of collected personal data can be submitted to one of the three above-mentioned offices of Metropolia’s Student and Admission Services or Metropolia’s Human Resources Management unit (staff only), where the data subject must prove their identity when submitting the request.
Every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if the data subject considers that the processing of their personal data infringes the applicable data protection regulations.
The national supervisory authority in Finland is the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman. Contact details:

The data subjects have the right to receive confirmation from the data controller of whether their personal data are being processed. Furthermore, the data subjects have the right of access to their personal data and the right to inspect their personal data stored in the register and to receive copies of them. Under the GDPR, the data controller must respond to requests by the data subjects to exercise their rights within one month of receiving such a request.
A. Right of access to personal data
The data subjects have the right to check whether their personal data are stored in the personal data register. A data subject may submit a request for information by delivering the data subjects’ information request form, which can be found on Metropolia’s public website and/or Metropolia’s intranet, to one of the three offices of Metropolia’s Student and Admission Services. The form must be filled in carefully, printed and signed personally by the data subject. If the data subject is a member of staff, they can deliver the request form to Metropolia’s Human Resources Management unit. When submitting the request, the data subject must prove their identity in a reliable manner (for example by presenting an official personal identity document or driving licence to the Metropolia employee receiving the request).
The visiting addresses of the offices of Metropolia’s Student and Admission Services are:
Metropolia’s Myllypuro campus
Myllypurontie 1, 00920 Helsinki, Finland
Metropolia’s Arabia campus
Hämeentie 135 D, 00560 Helsinki, Finland

All information requests will be forwarded from the offices of Metropolia’s Student and Admission Services and/or the Human Resources Management unit to Metropolia’s Data Protection Officer (email: tietosuojavastaava [at] metropolia.fi (tietosuojavastaava[at]metropolia[dot]fi)).
Metropolia’s Data Protection Officer will respond to information request submitted by the data subjects. If necessary, the Data Protection Officer can be requested to provide additional information on progress in the processing of the request or on the content of the response.
B. Right to rectify personal data and to restrict processing
The data subjects have the right to request the data controller to restrict the processing of their personal data in the following cases:
- the data subject disputes the correctness of their personal data (right to rectify personal data), in which case processing will be restricted until the data controller can ascertain that the data is correct;
- processing violates the law and the data subject objects to the erasure of their personal data, instead requesting that the processing of the data be restricted;
- the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them in order to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
Such a request for rectifying personal data in a Metropolia personal data register or restricting processing can be submitted in person to one of the above-mentioned offices of Metropolia’s Student and Admission Services or Metropolia’s Human Resources Management unit (staff only), where the data subject must prove their identity in a reliable manner when submitting the request.
C. Right to erase personal data
The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of their personal data from a Metropolia register without undue delay if any of the following conditions are met:
- the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
- the data subject withdraws consent on which processing is based and there is no other lawful basis for processing;
- the personal data have been unlawfully processed; or
- the personal data have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
Such a request for the erasure of personal data in a Metropolia personal data register can be submitted in person to one of the three above-mentioned offices of Metropolia’s Student and Admission Services or Metropolia’s Human Resources Management unit (staff only), where the data subject must prove their identity in a reliable manner when submitting the request.
D. Right to data portability (transfer of data from one system to another)
Partly applicable. Article 20 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) introduces a new right of data portability of a data subject. This right allows for data subjects to receive the personal data that they have provided to a data controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to another data controller without hindrance. The new right to data portability aims to empower data subjects regarding their own personal data, as it facilitates their ability to move, copy or transmit personal data easily from one IT environment to another (whether to their own systems, the systems of trusted third parties or those of new data controllers).
In accordance with Article 20(1)(a) of the GDPR, in order to fall under the scope of data portability, processing operations must be based:
- either on the data subject’s consent (pursuant to Article 6(1)(a), or pursuant to Article 9(2)(a) when it comes to special categories of personal data);
- or, on a contract to which the data subject is a party pursuant to Article 6(1)(b).
The GDPR does not establish a general right to data portability for cases where the processing of personal data is not based on consent or contract.
Such a request pursuant to Article 20 of the GDPR can be submitted in person to one of the three above-mentioned offices of Metropolia’s Student and Admission Services or Metropolia’s Human Resources Management unit (staff only), where the data subject must prove their identity in a reliable manner when submitting the request.
E. Right to not be subjected to a personal data breach
The data subject has the right to not be subjected to a personal data breach, as referred to in Article 33 of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, due to the data controller’s negligence in data protection and/or data security matters or due to negligence on the part of a data processor used by the controller in data protection and/or data security matters. The data subject has the right to be informed without undue delay if a personal data breach is likely to pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
