When you apply for a data permit from Findata, you also take on responsibility for the lawful processing of personal data. This course helps you understand what that means in practice.
We cover the legal basis for processing personal data, research planning, and the responsibilities of the controller. The content is based on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Data Protection Act, and the Act on the Secondary Use of Health and Social Data (Secondary Use Act).
When personal data is processed in accordance with data protection legislation, it also strengthens data subjects’ trust in research. This trust is essential for ensuring that health and social data can continue to be used in research in the future.

Findata is the Finnish social and health data permit authority that provides guidance on the secure and lawful use of data. General guidance on data protection matters is provided by the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman.
