omistajatiedot

Omistajatiedot, in Finnish, refers to information about who owns or controls an asset, company, or legal entity. In a corporate context the term covers the owners, including natural persons and other legal entities, along with their shareholdings, voting rights and, when applicable, the intermediary structures through which control is exercised. Omistajatiedot also encompasses beneficial ownership—those who ultimately own or influence the entity, even if ownership is held indirectly. In real estate and other assets, omistajatiedot describe the registered owner or owners and any legal arrangements that affect ownership.

The data are collected and maintained in official registries and registrational systems. The aim is to promote transparency, responsible corporate governance, and compliance with laws designed to prevent money laundering and other illegal activities. Access to omistajatiedot varies by jurisdiction and purpose: some information is publicly available, while other parts may be restricted to authorities, financial institutions, or require explicit authorization or legitimate interest under data protection rules.

Typical content of omistajatiedot includes the owner’s name or corporate entity, identification or corporate registration numbers, the percentage of ownership or voting rights, dates of acquisition and changes in ownership, and contact addresses or other identifiers. Data quality relies on timely reporting and regular updates; inaccuracies or omissions can affect due diligence, financing, and regulatory compliance.

In practice, omistajatiedot support governance, risk assessment, and regulatory reporting, while balancing privacy considerations and data protection requirements.
