kuluttajasuojaviranomaisille

Kuluttajasuojaviranomaisille is a Finnish term used in official and administrative language to indicate information or actions directed to or shared with the consumer protection authorities. The word is formed from kuluttajansuojaviranomaiset, meaning the authorities responsible for consumer protection, with the suffix -ille denoting the recipient or intended recipient “to/for the consumer protection authorities.”

In practice, kuluttajasuojaviranomaisille appears in legal texts, notices, and data handling documents to specify that certain communications, reports, or datasets may be directed to or disclosed to the consumer protection authorities. This can include consumer complaints, investigations, market surveillance findings, or notices concerning product safety, misleading advertising, unfair contract terms, or other violations of consumer protection laws.

The concept reflects Finland’s administrative framework in which consumer protection is handled by specialized authorities, often in cooperation with other public agencies and within the broader EU regulatory context. References to kuluttajasuojaviranomaisille may also appear in data protection and information-sharing provisions, where lawful bases under data protection law govern transfers of information to these authorities.

While the exact name and structure of the responsible bodies have evolved over time, the generic idea behind kuluttajasuojaviranomaisille remains: it designates the recipient institutions that oversee and enforce consumer protection rules in Finland, and it guides the flow of relevant information to those authorities for enforcement and oversight purposes.
