- Open questions
- What counts as 'vakavaa vaaraa rekisteröidyn terveydelle tai hoidolle taikka rekisteröidyn tai jonkun muun oikeuksille' under section 34(1)(2) of the Tietosuojalaki, so that a controller may refuse access under Article 15 of the GDPR?
What it makes you log
Logging duty
Articles 12 to 21 set how a controller answers an access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or objection request. They state no duty to create, keep or produce a log or record of the request or the answer. Sections 33 and 34 of the Data Protection Act limit the information and access duties on listed grounds and create no record duty; Section 34 has the Article 15 information given to the Data Protection Ombudsman on the person's request, which is a disclosure and not a log.

What this law does
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Articles 12 to 21 apply in Finland. Data Protection Act Section 33 restricts the Article 13/14 information duty, and Section 34 restricts the Article 15 access right, on national security, defence, public order, offence prevention, or tax and public finance supervisory grounds; Section 34 also allows access to be refused where it would seriously endanger the person's health or care or the rights of the person or another.
Section 21 gives a right to refer a complaint to the Data Protection Ombudsman, with a three-month handling deadline and a right of appeal to an administrative court if that deadline is missed.
