informoitavat

In Finnish law, "informoitavat" refers to entities or individuals who are legally obligated to be informed about certain matters. This concept is often encountered in various legal contexts, including corporate law, administrative law, and data protection.

In corporate governance, for instance, shareholders and sometimes employees might be considered "informoitavat" regarding significant company decisions, financial performance, or changes in ownership. This ensures transparency and allows stakeholders to make informed judgments.

Within administrative procedures, citizens or organizations interacting with public authorities may be designated as "informoitavat." This means they have a right to be notified about decisions affecting them, such as permits, licenses, or official investigations. The principle of procedural fairness often underlies this obligation.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) also incorporates the concept of "informoitavat." Individuals whose personal data is being processed have the right to be informed about how their data is collected, used, stored, and shared. This includes information about the data controller, the purpose of processing, and their rights as data subjects.

The specific nature and extent of the information that must be provided to "informoitavat" vary depending on the legal framework and the context. However, the overarching goal is to ensure that relevant parties have access to necessary information to understand their rights, obligations, and the implications of a particular situation. This promotes fairness, accountability, and informed decision-making.
