lisätiedot

Lisätiedot is a Finnish term meaning “additional information” or “further information.” It is commonly used as a label or header in forms, applications, and documents to indicate a space where the applicant or respondent can provide extra details that are not captured by standard fields.

The word combines lisä, meaning addition or extra, with tiedot, meaning information or data. The concept is generic and applies across many contexts where a person or organization requests supplementary notes or clarifications beyond the main sections of a form or document.

Typical usage occurs in employment applications, customer questionnaires, and official forms. In a job application, the Lisätiedot section may be used to explain gaps in employment, indicate willingness to relocate, specify salary expectations, or list references. In surveys or online forms, it may accommodate clarifications, comments, or any information that does not fit predefined questions. In a résumé or CV, a Lisätiedot section can include availability, special accommodations, language skills, or other notes relevant to the applicant.

Privacy considerations apply to Lisätiedot as to any personal data. The information should be relevant, proportionate, and handled in accordance with applicable data protection rules. If possible, sensitive data should be avoided unless explicitly required and properly secured. Translations of the term include “additional information” or “further details.”
