What types of data can be used with a permit from Findata?

Permits granted by Findata cover register-based data from Finnish social and healthcare services. This refers to data generated when people use social and health services.

Register data is stored, for example, in patient and client information systems of wellbeing services counties, national registers, and the Kanta Services.

Findata grants data permits and data request decisions for the secondary use of health and social data when the application concerns:

  • data from several public health and social sector data controllers
  • register data from private social and health service providers
  • data stored in the Kanta Services
  • Findata’s ready-made datasets
  • data from controllers that have transferred their permit authority to Findata
