Comparison of Protection of Privacy in Finland and the United States

Finnish Data Protection Regime

Line: 31 to 31
 The above mentioned right to secrecy in electronic communications set forth by the Constitution has been argued to be violated by the new bill of government (48/2008) regarding the amendment of the Act on the Protection of Privacy in Electronic Communications and related acts. The major change proposed by the government is that companies would be given the right to survey their employees’ identification data in order to prevent leakage of confidential information. The application sphere of the act would allow employers to follow their staff’s e-mails, chat messages, internet browsing and calls – but “only” the identification data, of course. The Finnish Parliament accepted the proposed changes on the law in early March.
