Findata is the Finnish Social and Health Data Permit Authority, established in 2019. Findata operates in connection with the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) but is separated from THL’s other activities. Findata’s operations are based on the Act on the Secondary Use of Health and Social Data, commonly known as the Secondary Use Act.
We grant permits for the secondary use of health and social data, compile data materials while ensuring data protection, and maintain the secure Kapseli processing environment in which the materials can be processed.
