The information disclosed includes identifying information of the target group, in other words the names and business IDs of companies. In addition, the Tax Administration discloses companies’ contact information reported for tax purposes and information about the companies’ line of business, domicile, self-employed persons and their personal identity codes, as well as net sales reported for VAT purposes in 2021.

The trial uses salary information received from the Incomes Register. The Legal Register Centre may disclose information about sanctions for the unauthorised use of foreign labour, as this disqualifies the company from receiving the subsidy. Information in the TE Office’s customer database may also be used when granting and paying the subsidy.
The data processed for the trial form a trial database, the joint controllers of which will be the Southeast Finland TE Office and KEHA Centre. The database will contain personal data, the processing of which will comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council), and the Data Protection Act (1050/2018). Data collected in the trial database are processed for the purposes of granting, paying and clawing back the recruitment subsidy and for evaluating the results of the trial.
