andmekorraldusega

Andmekorraldusega is an Estonian term used to describe the processes and considerations involved in data collection and handling. It covers the design, execution, and governance of activities that gather, organize, store, and use data about individuals, organizations, or events for various purposes such as statistics, service delivery, research, or decision making.

The scope of andmekorraldusega includes determining what data is needed, identifying sources, collecting data through surveys, forms, sensors, cookies, administrative records, or other means, and then organizing and storing that data in a way that supports legitimate purposes. It also involves determining who may access the data, under what conditions, and for how long data will be retained. Data collected can be personal, non-personal, or anonymized, depending on the objective and legal requirements.

Legal and ethical frameworks surrounding andmekorraldusega are primarily shaped by data protection rules such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Estonia’s national data protection laws. Key principles include consent or another lawful basis for processing, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, and transparency. Data subjects’ rights—access, rectification, erasure, and objection—are central, as are obligations on data controllers and processors, including data security measures and, in many cases, a data protection impact assessment for high-risk processing.

Best practices emphasize privacy by design, data quality, minimization of data collection, secure storage, and clear governance structures. While andmekorraldusega enables insights and public benefits, it also carries risks of privacy invasion or misuse, necessitating careful, accountable handling of data.
