tiedonkeruullesitaatin

Tiedonkeruullesitaatin is a term used in Finnish policy discussions and academic literature to describe a hypothetical or proposed statute intended to regulate systematic data collection by both public authorities and private actors. The concept aggregates concerns about legality, privacy, and governance in data gathering, and is often invoked in debates about digital infrastructure, research, and public administration.

Definition and objectives: The statute would establish a clear legal basis for data collection, specify purposes, impose limits on data use, and require transparency and accountability. It would address data minimization, data quality, retention periods, security, and dispute resolution, and designate responsibility to a supervisory authority or data protection regulator. It would also set rules for cross-border transfers and ensure remedies for data subjects.

Scope and applicability: Tiedonkeruullesitaatin would apply to both public and private sector actors and could cover personal data and, in certain contexts, non-personal data where relevant. Exemptions might be provided for national security, essential public interest, or safety considerations, with conditions to prevent abuse.

Relation to GDPR and policy context: The concept is typically discussed as a complement to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, aiming to provide Finland-specific procedures and sector-focused rules for data collection activities while remaining aligned with GDPR principles.

Status and debates: As a topic of policy debate and scholarly work, tiedonkeruullesitaatin has not been enacted as law. Proponents argue it could create clearer rules and stronger accountability; critics warn of administrative burden and the risk of hindering legitimate data-driven activity.
