Obligation management report app

Personal data refers to any information that can be directly or indirectly linked to a natural person.

On this page, we will outline the instructions we follow, our methods for processing and storing your data, and what rights you have. These guidelines will never limit the rights granted to you by the General Data Protection Regulation or any other legally valid decision.

The Obligation management report app is a system used for ordering necessary obligation management reports from the Tax Administration’s information system. Completed documents are extracted from the Tax Administration and saved in the USPA case management system as an attachment to the order procedure.

Documents can be ordered using either a business ID or a personal identity code. Documents are never stored in the Obligation management report app’s database.

The processing of your personal data is based on Article 6 (1)(c) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679), i.e. processing required compliance with the Regional State Administrative Agency’s statutory obligation.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR (EU 2016/679), which provides that data is processed for performing tasks carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Regional State Administrative Agency.

This is also provided for in section 4, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Data Protection Act (1050/2018).  

  • Personal identity code or business ID. The personal identity code is not readable.
  • Parameters required for document identification.

Pay security application and information used in supervision.

Data is not disclosed to anyone.

Personal data are not transferred outside the EU or the EEA.

Information that has become unnecessary is removed from the system twice a year.

The registry is stored on a server to which third parties do not have access. Use of the Obligation management report app is limited with access rights. Access rights are only granted on the basis of a supervisor's application as required by the work task. Unauthorized access can be traced from the system log data.

The processing of your personal data also does not involve automatic decision-making or profiling.

Each Regional State Administrative Agency is competent to carry out its tasks in a specific geographical area in Finland unless the national management of a matter has been centralised to a specific Regional State Administrative Agency. Therefore, one of the six Regional State Administrative Agencies usually acts as the controller for the processing of personal data in accordance with this notification, depending on where in Finland you live and which Regional State Administrative Agency has processed your matter.
