juurdepääsõiguse

Juurdepääsuõigus is an Estonian legal term that translates to "right of access" or "access rights." It refers to the legal entitlements that allow individuals or entities to access specific information, resources, or property. This concept is fundamental in various legal domains, including data protection, property law, and administrative law.

In the context of data protection, juurdepääsuõigus is closely related to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Estonian data protection laws. It grants individuals the right to know what personal data is being processed about them, to access that data, and to receive information about its purpose, categories of data, recipients, and retention periods. This right empowers individuals to understand and control their personal information.

In property law, juurdepääsuõigus can pertain to easements or servitudes, granting a landowner the right to use another person's land for a specific purpose, such as passage to a public road or access to utilities. This right is typically established through a legal agreement or by law.

Furthermore, juurdepääsuõigus is relevant in administrative law, enabling citizens to access public documents and information held by government bodies, subject to certain limitations like national security or privacy concerns. This promotes transparency and accountability in public administration. The exercise and scope of juurdepääsuõigus can vary depending on the specific legal context and applicable legislation.
