Findata is the social and health data permit authority in Finland. It was established in 2019, and its operations are based on the Act on the Secondary Use of Health and Social Data, commonly known as the Secondary Use Act.
We grant data permits for the secondary use of health and social data when the data is needed from multiple public data controllers, from the private sector, from Findata’s ready-made datasets, or from the Kanta Services. We compile and preprocess the datasets with strict attention to protecting individuals’ privacy.
Findata also maintains the secure Kapseli® processing environment, where individual-level data is processed safely.
