Findata grants most permits to projects based in Finland. However, the permit holder may also be located in another EU or EEA country. Even in such cases, the data must be processed in a secure environment and only for the purposes defined in the permit.

As a rule, Findata does not transfer personal data outside the EU or EEA. Exceptions may only be made for a specific reason and when the legal requirements for data protection and information security are met.
