Relation to institutions and law: In Finland, the term is commonly associated with official statistics work and may be used in relation to Tilastokeskus (Statistics Finland) and other statistical authorities. It also intersects with broader data protection and statistical legislation that regulates how personal data can be shared with or processed by authorities responsible for statistics.
