yksilörekasten

Yksilörekisteri is a Finnish term that translates to "individual register" or "personal register." It refers to a system or database that stores personal information about individuals. These registers can be maintained by various entities, including government agencies, private companies, and organizations, for different purposes.

The nature and scope of information contained within a yksilörekisteri can vary significantly. For instance, a government agency might maintain a register for taxation or social security purposes, including details like name, address, social security number, income, and family status. A private company might have a customer register with contact information, purchase history, and preferences.

The creation and management of yksilörekisteri are subject to data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, to which Finland is a member. These regulations aim to ensure that personal data is collected, processed, and stored in a secure and lawful manner, respecting individuals' privacy rights. Individuals typically have the right to access, rectify, and request the erasure of their personal data held in such registers. The specific legal framework governing yksilörekisteri in Finland is based on national legislation that aligns with EU data protection standards.
