The Health and Social Data Permit Authority Findata may grant permissions concerning the use of personal data referred to in the Act on Secondary Use of Health and Social Data (552/2019). Findata processes both applications for combining data from several controllers referred to in the Act on Secondary Use of Health and Social Data and applications concerning THL registers or documents only.

On 5 March 2020, THL made a decision on transferring data permit powers to Findata also in cases where the data permit is only applied for concerning THL registers and documents. Read more about Findata.
