Data protection

Data protection refers to the protection of the privacy of an individual (data subject).

The appropriate processing of personal data strengthens the rights of the data subject and increases openness and transparency. The objectives of data protection work are to emphasize the right of the individual to control the processing of their own personal data and to bring transparency to the processing of personal data. Personal data are information that can be used to identify a person directly or indirectly, for example by combining individual information with other information that enables identification. A person can be identified, for example, by name, personal identification number or some other characteristic of the person.

According to data protection principles, personal data must be:

  • processed lawfully, fairly and transparently from the perspective of the data subject
  • processed confidentially and securely collected and processed for a specified, explicit and legitimate purpose
  • collected only to the extent necessary in relation to the purposes for which the personal data are processed
  • updated whenever necessary – inaccurate and incorrect personal data must be erased or rectified without delay
  • kept in a form which permits identification of the data subject only for as long as is necessary for the purposes of the processing
