The purpose of processing personal data at Jamk Arena is to document author information related to publications (author’s first and last name and affiliation information). Personal data is a prerequisite for the publication to be included in the Ministry of Education and Culture’s publication data collection.

Jamk Arena’s online publications are delivered and published using the open-source WordPress content management system.

Personal data of authors outside of Jamk is stored in connection with publications with their consent.

In WordPress, the security measure for processing personal data is based on Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences’ staff’s personal email address and the associated password.
