How can I ask someone to erase data they have on me?

Sinulla voi joskus olla oikeus pyytää, että harrastustoiminnan järjestäjä poistaa tietojasi, joita se on tallentanut rekisteriinsä. Jos pyydät jonkin tiedon poistamista ja se poistetaan, harrastustoiminnan järjestäjällä ei enää ole sitä hallussaan. Jos kaikki tietosi poistetaan, sillä ei ole enää mitään sinua kosYou may have the right to ask the hobby organiser to erase data it has stored about you in its registers. If you request the erasure of some information and your request is accepted, the hobby organiser will delete the data. If all of your data is erased, the club will no longer have any information about you.

The hobby organiser has to erase your data in the following cases:

When it does not need your data any more. The hobby organiser may not have to store all of your data after you quit the hobby.
When you want to withdraw a consent that you have given. For example, if you have given information about an illness, you can request the club to erase the information at any time. After that, the hobby organiser no longer has permission to process the data it got from you based on your consent.

It is not always possible to erase or change all of your data even if you wish. Some data has to be kept, for example because the law demands it. Even if that is the case, the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman can help you make sure that your personal data is not being processed without a good reason.

What to do:

Request the erasure of your data directly from the hobby organiser. You can ask for help from your coach or instructor if you are not sure where to send your request. You can also find instructions in the privacy statement most hobby organisers have on their website. You can always ask your parent or another adult for help with making the request.
In the request, state which of your personal data you would like to erase and why, or whether you would like the hobby organiser to erase all personal data it has on you.
The hobby organiser normally has to reply to your request within a month.
If the hobby organiser does not reply within a month or refuses to erase the data, you can contact the Data Protection Ombudsman. The Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman is an authority that supervises data protection, including in hobbies. In some cases, the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman can order the hobby organiser to erase your personal data from its registers.
