Can data obtained from Findata be processed alongside other data?

Data authorised by Findata can be processed in the same processing environment as other data, such as data collected by the applicant themselves or data obtained under a separate permit. At Findata, this is referred to as combining data.

Combining data is possible in:

  • the centralised permit model (Findata as the sole permit authority), and
  • the distributed permit model (multiple organisations granting permits, one of which is Findata)

As a rule, combining data is the responsibility of Findata or Statistics Finland.
