GDPRllä

GDPRllä is a Finnish colloquial term used to refer to the practice of applying the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Finland. It is not an official regulatory category, but a shorthand for organizational and public-sector compliance with GDPR's rules.

Key principles include lawfulness, fairness, transparency; purpose limitation; data minimization; accuracy; storage limitation; integrity and confidentiality; accountability. It covers roles such as data controllers and processors, and requires a lawful basis for processing, data subject rights, and obligations for data protection by design and by default. It also governs cross-border transfers, records of processing activities, DPIAs for high-risk processing, and the appointment of a data protection officer where required.

Enforcement and penalties: Supervisory authorities monitor compliance, investigate complaints, and may impose corrective measures or fines. Breach notifications are typically required within 72 hours to the supervisory authority and, in some cases, to data subjects. Penalties can reach up to 4% of annual global turnover or 20 million euros, whichever is greater.

In Finland, the relevant authority is the Data Protection Ombudsman (Tietosuojavaltuutettu), which provides guidance, conducts investigations, and coordinates with the European Data Protection Board. GDPRllä discussions in Finland often focus on privacy-by-design, data breach readiness, and transparency to individuals.
