Edasikasutusele

Edasikasutusele refers to the concept of onward transmission or further use of data in Estonian. It is a term often encountered in legal and data protection contexts, particularly within the framework of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as it is applied in Estonia. The principle of edasikasutusele dictates how personal data, once collected and processed for a specific purpose, can be subsequently shared, disclosed, or utilized by other entities.

Understanding edasikasutusele is crucial for both data controllers and data subjects. Data controllers must ensure that any onward transmission of data complies with the original purpose for which consent was given, or with other legitimate legal bases for processing. This includes assessing whether the new purpose is compatible with the original one. If the data is to be used for a purpose incompatible with the original, further consent from the data subject or another valid legal ground is typically required.

For data subjects, the concept of edasikasutusele relates to their rights concerning their personal data. They have the right to be informed about who their data might be further transmitted to and for what purposes. This transparency is a cornerstone of data protection, allowing individuals to maintain control over their information. Therefore, when data is made available to third parties, it is essential to clearly outline the conditions and purposes of this edasikasutusele.
