Why do we process your personal data?
The working forum is the career services at Åbo Akademi University. Our task is to simplify the step between studies and working life, and to support students with career planning and in identifying their own strengths. Arbetsforum helps you as an ÅA student or recent graduate with, among other things, perfecting your CV and application, identifying your strengths and career goals, and finding a relevant internship or workplace. We also organise short courses and events as well as career follow-ups (see separate data protection notices) to collect information on the labour market and employment of graduates.
For career guidance and CV check you can book an appointment via our booking calendars ( > Jobteaser alt. CRM) or by email. The information we collect when you book an appointment, we need to be able to prepare our meeting with you. In addition to name, email address, faculty and main subject, there are therefore also some optional questions about the minor subject(s) and about what you want to discuss with us when we meet. You can attach your CV to the application, as well as the application letter and link to your LinkedIn profile.
According to the GDPR, there must be a legal basis for processing personal data. The legal basis for processing your personal data is consent:
When you book an appointment for career guidance or CV check, consent is the legal basis for the processing of the personal data collected in connection with the registration. You give your consent completely voluntarily after you have received information about how your personal data is processed.
Where consent is the legal basis for processing your personal data, you have the right to withdraw at any time. You can inform us that you have changed your mind by sending an e-mail to registrator@abo.fi. The processing carried out before you revoked your consent will not be affected.
What personal data is processed and who processes it?
When you sign up for career guidance or for a CV check, we collect the following information:
First name(s)
Surname(s)
e-mail address
Faculty/Subject
Message (from the student) regarding the meeting? Describe what you want to talk about at the meeting (Open question)

Where is your personal data collected and how is it processed?
The personal data collected are those you provide when you register via the form in Åbo Akademi University’s contact register (CRM) or JobTeaser, or if you have contacted us by e-mail.
The registration data is recorded and stored in the CRM tool or JobTeaser, depending on the tool you use.
A list of notifications available only to Work Forum staff is created. The data is not shared, either internally or to anyone outside ÅA. Career guidance is confidential.
At the annual level, statistics are compiled on the number of meetings booked. The personal data will be deleted no later than 1 year after notification.
Is your personal data transferred to a third party (outside Åbo Akademi University)?
The information in the booking is handled by our partner JobTeaser, with whom Åbo Akademi University has an agreement.
