luottamuksellisesta

Luottamuksellisesta is an inflected form of the Finnish adjective luottamuksellinen, meaning confidential or trusted. It is not a separate lexical item, but a grammatical form used when the adjective modifies a noun in a specific case, typically the elative case in Finnish.

In practice, luottamuksellisesta appears in phrases describing something of a confidential nature from which information or materials originate. For example, luottamuksellisesta tiedosta means “from confidential information,” and luottamuksellisesta asiakirjasta means “from the confidential document.” The form shows agreement between the adjective and the noun it describes in case and number.

The term is commonly used in legal, administrative, and data-protection contexts to indicate that information, documents, or communications are restricted to authorized persons and should be handled with discretion. It contrasts with broader concepts of secrecy or non-disclosure but carries a nuance of trust and responsible handling rather than an absolute legal prohibition.

Related terms include luottamuksellinen (the base adjective meaning confidential), luottamuksellisuus (the noun form expressing confidentiality), and phrases such as salassapitovelvollisuus (duty of confidentiality) or salassa pidettävä (to be kept secret). While luottamuksellisesta is a form of the adjective, discussions of confidentiality often involve these connected notions to describe duties, access rights, and safeguarding measures.
