Change history
On January 2, 2024, the sole controller is now Assembly Organizing Oy.
On August 12, 2021, the Privacy Statement was updated as Teliaesportsseries.com changed to Assembly.org Hub. In the same context, Assembly Organizing Oy became a joint controller alongside Telia Finland Oyj, as stated in the Privacy Statement. Data subject privacy rights are implemented in the same way as before, and the Data Protection Officer for Telia Finland remains responsible for data protection. Minor clarifications were made to the processing purposes for personal data.
As a result of the discontinuation of Teliesportsseries.com's websites in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, references to joint controllership with Telia companies in those countries were removed from the Privacy Statement. The personal data of users in those countries has been deleted, and those companies no longer process personal data.
