rokotetutiedot

Rokotetutiedot are a category of information in Finland that is considered personal data, but which is exempt from the data protection laws due to their sensitive nature. This exemption is based on the fact that this type of data is obtained through autobiographical self-disclosure, and its public disclosure would be against the moral law.

Rokotetutiedot refers to information about a person's health, wellness, or behavior, that they have shared with others, usually with the intention of protecting themselves or others from harm. Examples of rokotetutiedot include information about one's physical or mental health, medical conditions, substance abuse, or other personal issues.

Due to the sensitive nature of rokotetutiedot, it is exempt from the Personal Data Act 523/1999 in Finland. This means that organizations and individuals are not required to protect this type of data in the same way as other personal data. However, Datenschutzgesetze (data protection laws) can still apply in certain situations, if the rokotetutiedot is disclosed in a way that is not intended for the original purpose of self-protection.

The concept of rokotetutiedot is an important aspect of Finnish data protection laws. It highlights the need for balancing the protection of personal data with the need for individuals to be able to share sensitive information with others, without fear of repercussions. The laws surrounding rokotetutiedot aim to provide clarity and protection in this complex area.
