henkilötietosuojaasetusten

Henkilötietosuojaasetusten refers to data protection regulations. These regulations govern how personal data can be collected, processed, stored, and shared. The primary goal is to protect the privacy rights of individuals. In the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most prominent example of such regulations, setting a high standard for data protection worldwide.

Key principles of these regulations typically include lawfulness, fairness, and transparency in data processing. Data should be collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes. Data minimization means that personal data collected should be adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which they are processed. Accuracy ensures that personal data is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.

Storage limitation means that personal data should be kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed. Finally, integrity and confidentiality ensure that personal data are processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. Individuals also have rights related to their data, such as the right to access, rectification, erasure, and objection to processing. Compliance with these regulations is crucial for organizations operating in jurisdictions where they apply.
