by relevant authorities (where necessary) and by requiring the use of other
appropriate technical and organizational information security measures.
Mandatory disclosures We may be obligated by mandatory law to disclose your
•
personal data to certain authorities or other third parties, for example, to law
enforcement agencies in the countries where we or third parties acting on our
behalf operate. We may also disclose and otherwise process your personal data in
accordance with applicable law to defend Nokia's legitimate interests, for example,
in civil or criminal legal proceedings.
Mergers and Acquisitions If we decide to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganise
•
our businesses in certain countries, this may involve us disclosing personal data to
prospective or actual purchasers and their advisers, or receiving personal data from
sellers and their advisers.
Collecting the Data of Minors
Nokia does not seek to collect any information from or engage in any transactions with
persons under the age of 13. Our databases may nevertheless contain personal data of
children under 13 due to the fact that it is not always possible to determine precisely the
age of the user. Insofar as we ask you to provide your age, we block the service from any
person who is under 13 years of age. We will also make reasonable efforts to clear our
databases of personal data relating to under age users.
Nokia's policy is to request that minors (the legal age of majority and therefore the age
of minors is determined by local law where you reside) do not make purchases or engage
in other legal acts on our products and services without the consent of a parent or legal
guardian, unless otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Data Quality
We take reasonable steps to keep the personal data we possess accurate and upto- date
and to delete out of date or otherwise incorrect or unnecessary personal data.
As certain Nokia products and services may allow you to manage your profile, we
encourage you to access your personal data from time to time to ensure that it is correct
and up-to-date. Please remember that it is your responsibility to provide us with correct
details as well as to update the personal data you have provided us with in case of any
changes.
Security
While there are always risks associated with providing personal data, whether in person,
by phone, via the internet or otherwise, and no technology is completely safe or "tamper"
or "hacker" proof, Nokia takes appropriate technical and organizational information
security measures to prevent and minimize such risks.
Such measures include, where appropriate, the use of firewalls, secure server facilities,
encryption, implementing proper access rights management systems and processes,
careful selection of processors and other technically and commercially reasonable
measures to provide appropriate protection for your personal data against unauthorized
use or disclosure. Where appropriate, we may also take back-up copies and use other
such means to prevent accidential damage or destruction to your personal data. If a
particular part of a Nokia website supports on-line transactions, we will use an industry
standard security measure, such as the one available through "Secure Sockets
Layer" ("SSL"), to protect the confidentiality and security of online transactions.
Use of Cookies and Web Beacons
From time to time when you visit a Nokia website, information may be placed on your
computer to allow us to recognize your computer. This information is commonly in the
form of a textfile known as a "cookie". Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your
computer's hard drive, rather than on the website. Typically, they enable collection of
certain information about your computer, including your internet protocol (IP) address,
your computer's operating system, your browser type and the address of any referring
sites. Our use of cookies is intended to provide benefits to you, such as eliminating the
need for you to enter your password frequently during a session or the need to re-enter
items you place in a shopping cart if you do not finish a transaction in a single visit.
Cookies are also used for website traffic analysis and anonymous demographic profiling
so that we may improve our services.
Nokia may use so called web beacons (or "pixel tags") in connection with some websites.
However, we do not use them to identify individual users personally. Web beacons are
typically graphic images that are placed on a website and they are used to count visitors
to a website and/or to access certain cookies. This information is used to improve our
services. Web beacons do not typically collect any other information than what your
browser provides us with as a standard part of any internet communication. If you turn
off cookies, the web beacon will no longer be able to track your specific activity. The web
