Yksilötietoihin

Yksilötietoihin refers to personal data in Finnish. This encompasses any information that can be directly or indirectly linked to a specific individual. This includes identifying details such as names, personal identification numbers, addresses, and contact information. Beyond direct identifiers, it also covers information that, when combined with other data, could reveal an individual's identity, such as health records, financial transactions, employment history, or even online browsing habits.

The collection, processing, and storage of yksilötietoihin are subject to strict regulations in Finland and the European Union, primarily through the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These regulations aim to protect individuals' privacy and ensure that their personal data is handled responsibly and securely. Individuals have rights regarding their personal data, including the right to access, rectify, erase, and restrict the processing of their information. Organizations that handle yksilötietoihin must obtain consent, ensure data accuracy, and implement appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure. The concept of yksilötietoihin is central to discussions about data privacy, cybersecurity, and digital rights in modern society.
