rajaustietoja

Rajaustietoja is a Finnish term that translates to "restriction information" in English. It is a concept used in the context of data protection and privacy regulations, particularly in the European Union. Rajaustietoja refers to the information provided by an individual to limit the use of their personal data. This can include specifying how their data should be used, for what purposes it can be processed, and under what conditions it can be shared with third parties.

The concept of rajaustietoja is closely tied to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into effect in 2018. Under the GDPR, individuals have the right to restrict the processing of their personal data under certain circumstances, such as when they contest the accuracy of the data or when the data is being processed unlawfully. Rajaustietoja allows individuals to exercise this right by providing explicit instructions on how their data should be handled.

The information provided as rajaustietoja is typically documented in a formal request or declaration made by the individual to the data controller or processor. This documentation ensures that the individual's preferences are clearly communicated and can be enforced by the data controller. Rajaustietoja is an essential tool for individuals to maintain control over their personal data and to comply with their privacy rights under data protection laws.
