deaktivoitavissa

deaktivoitavissa is a Finnish adjective meaning “deactivatable” or “capable of being deactivated.” It is derived from the verb deaktivoida, which itself is a borrowing from the English word deactivate, combined with the Finnish suffix -tavissa indicating possibility or capability. The term is regularly found in technical documentation, user manuals, and software release notes to indicate that a particular feature, account, device, or service can be switched off or revoked by the user or administrator.

In information technology the word is commonly used for subscription-based services, online accounts, two‑factor authentication methods, and hardware components such as external storage or peripheral devices. A typical phrase might be “Käyttäjä voi deaktivoitavissa olevat ilmoitukset säätää asetuksissa,” meaning “The user can deactivate notifications in the settings.”

The concept also appears in broader policy texts, for instance in data protection discussions where personal data processing activities are described as deaktivoitavissa, highlighting the ability to suspend or cease data collection. In legal contexts it indicates compliance with the right to be forgotten, where processing can be deactivated in accordance with privacy regulations.

Overall deaktivoitavissa signals that an entity or function is not permanently enabled but can be voluntarily disabled by a relevant authority or stakeholder.
