Anyone may apply for a permit, but it is only granted for the purposes defined in law and for projects that meet the permit criteria and data protection requirements. Each application is assessed individually, and data is only released for necessary use.
Data permits and data request decisions are official administrative decisions. The decision process has two stages: the application handler acts as the presenter, and the Director of Findata or their deputy makes the final decision.
A proposed decision does not always lead directly to a permit being granted. Sometimes the application is returned for further preparation or requires modifications.
