Summary/Abstract: This paper is written to better understand how Finland implemented the General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR in short) into law and how it has affected the citizens of Finland. By summarising the old laws and the GDPR weget a better understanding of the importance the GDPR brings and what problems it could solve in the future.Data protection and privacy has become a bigger issue and importance because of the growth of data collection. That iswhy Finland fully incorporated the EU’s new data protection regulation into the body of law and by repealing thePersonal Data Act, Finland’s old data protection law. The GDPR has brought a wide range of new protection and privacystandards for the Finnish citizens such as the right to forget and the right to know how ones information is being used.
