The personal data contained in the Gift Register is processed on the basis of Article 6 of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation. Personal data is processed as part of the provision of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency’s statutory services. The provisions on the Gift Register are laid down in the Finnish Gift Prom-ises Act (625/1047).

The register data is public.

No automated decision-making or profiling is performed on the basis of the data.

Right of inspection

You have the right to request that the controller provides you with access to the data on you, so that you can check the information that is kept on you. The request must be submitted in writing to Digital and Population Data Services Agency’s registry office. Be prepared to prove your identity.

You will receive the information you need within a month of the time your request was registered. However, for justified reasons the Digital and Population Data Services Agency can extend the aforementioned one-month timeline by two months at the most. In this case you will receive a notification.

Right to demand data correction
