By Finnish law, an association must have its members’ names and home municipalities/cities in a register. Also, an association may only organise trips for it's members. 

Members’ e-mails are collected for sending our news and information about our trips and events. Home university is collected so that we can connect Finnish students who are going on exchange to university X with exchange students coming to Finland from that same university.

Information collected through event sign-up forms is used to communicate to the participants any changes or possible problems regarding the event. We also use the information to keep a list of the payments and of the number of participants, and in members only events to control that the participants are members of ESN Oulu.
