Security and terms of use

Your connection to the online service in the online store will be closed automatically after 30 minutes if the online service is not used and you have forgotten to end the session.

We also serve by email. Turva's email addresses are in the format firstname.lastname(at)turva.fi. If your matter is urgent, you should call or log in to the online service and send a message to our customer service there.

The confidentiality of open email cannot be guaranteed. The transmission of sensitive or otherwise confidential information must be avoided in an open information network.

We will only send a customer's banking and insurance secrecy information by email with the customer's consent. To handle such matters, we recommend logging in to the online service, where communication is protected.

Turva's online services that ask for more detailed personal data, such as personal identity codes, are SSL encrypted.

The customer is responsible for the accuracy of the information provided and for the arrival of the message.

Turva sends marketing messages to its private customers by email only if the customer has given their consent.

Phishing refers to a practice where the sender impersonates someone else and tries to use a false identity to obtain information from the customer, such as a credit card number. The email may prompt the customer to log in to an Internet page where the information is requested.

We recommend that you log in to the online service via the "Log in" link on the turva.fi website. If you use your own home computer and are sure that no untrusted party can access your information, you can save the login page address to your favourites.

Do not reply to messages if you are not entirely sure of their origin. Do not, under any circumstances, provide information about your banking or insurance details by email or on the Internet. Such emails may look like they come from a Turva address, but the sender may have modified the sender field to look like a Turva emailaddress. Therefore, also pay attention to the content of the message and think about what kind of messages you usually receive from Turva.

Turva will never ask for online service or card PIN codes or other personal information by email. Online banking credentials are only used to log in to Turva's online service or to confirm a transaction. PIN codes are also used to identify the customer in the telephone service. In this case, the bank is given only part of the username and one one-time password, which will thereafter not be usable by the customer or by Turva.

If you are unsure about the sender of a message you have received or suspect that you have given information to the wrong party, call Turva immediately on 01019 5110 .

Turva takes data security very seriously. We strive to protect all our services, customers and customer data appropriately. The verification of data security in Turva's services is extensive, and the process is continuous.

Security-related notifications can be sent by email to asiakaspalvelu(at)turva.fi. In order for us to deal effectively with vulnerability or security issues received at this address, it is essential that the person reporting the issue provides us with at least the following:

We aim to contact the person reporting a vulnerability as soon as possible after receiving the report and maintain communication while the observation is being investigated. If necessary, Turva will escalate the matter to FICORA's CERT-FI function or other authorities. We hope that the person reporting will not publish or disclose the reported observations to third parties.
We would like to emphasise that at asiakaspalvelu(at)turva.fi, we accept observations and reports related to security and vulnerabilities. The address does not provide data security advice.

Turva's services may not be tested without permission or by unlawful means (chapter 38, sections 5-8 of the Finnish Criminal Code). Unlawful means include, but are not limited to, actions in which our customers' information is compromised or the continuity of our services is compromised. Any misconduct will always be investigated.

SSL encryption

The site uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology everywhere, so your session is protected from the start. SSL encryption is a very secure protection technology that enables a secure connection between the user's browser and Turva's server. Protection secures information sent over the network so that confidential information cannot be intercepted by third parties. SSL encryption is usually turned on by default in browsers. The establishment of an encrypted connection is usually detected by the "lock icon" that appears in the bottom or top bar. In the latest browsers, there is no lock icon, but the address bar turns green when the connection is encrypted. In a secure connection, the address begins with https://

6.1 Authentication to the Online Service

Use of the Online Service requires identification of the Customer. Turva identifies the Customer with bank or other identifiers accepted by Turva. It may be possible to log in to the Online Service later using alternative methods, such as a PIN code created by the Customer or facial recognition enabled by the Customer.

Identifying the Customer in the manner described above is equivalent to verifying the Customer's identity from an identity document issued by the authorities.

The Customer is responsible for storing identification data separately and carefully so that it does not fall into the possession of third parties. The Customer is responsible for legal actions taken with the help of identification data until the identifier issuer has received a notification that the identification data has fallen into the possession of a third party and the issuer has had a reasonable time to prevent the use of Services. The Customer is responsible for any damage that the unauthorised use of identification data may cause to Turva, the Customer or a third party until the identifier issuer has received the above-mentioned notification and prevented the use of the identifiers. If identifiers have been used in the Online Service unlawfully or the Customer has reason to believe that they have fallen into the possession of a third party, Turva must also be notified immediately.

If the Customer has stored their identification data carelessly or otherwise contributed to the identification data falling into the possession of a third party, the Customer shall be liable for any damage caused to Turva.

6.2 Powers

Through Services, the Customer may also handle matters included in Turva's service selection on behalf of another person or company, if the other person or company has given an express power of attorney letter for this. Turva separately determines on a service-by-service basis whether a Service can be used on the basis of a power of attorney letter and what actions the Customer can take in the Service on behalf of another person on the basis of the power of attorney letter. For the applicable Services used by the Customer, information is activated on the authorisers for whom a written power of attorney letter has been submitted to Turva. Turva must be notified of the expiry of an authorisation without delay.

Turva does not guarantee that assignments, applications or other messages will be processed in the manner and time specified by the Customer in the message, nor is it liable for any damage caused to the Customer as a result.

6.6 Turva’s limitations of liability

The information contained in Services does not constitute a binding offer, invitation, commitment or other binding expression on the part of Turva, unless expressly stated otherwise. The content of each Service is determined by the terms and conditions applicable to the respective service or product.

Careful efforts have been made to ensure the correctness of the information content of Services, but Turva shall not be liable for the accuracy of the information or any damage related to its use.
