Cybersecurity Policy Report, Updates to DPO Contact Information Sought in Finland, (Jun 13, 2025)
By Tony Foley
Finland’s Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman has asked organizations to check that data protection officer (DPO) contact details provided to the agency are up to date.
In a news release yesterday, the ombudsman said it maintained a registry of DPO contact information and was responsible for ensuring that inaccurate and incorrect personal data was erased or rectified without delay. The ombudsman has sent a request to all registered DPOs to confirm their contact details or to notify the agency of any changes by July 13.
The news release adds that if the ombudsman’s office does not receive confirmation of the contact deals by the July 13 deadline, it will delete the information. Organizations with a DPO that have not received a request from the ombudsman can make changes to the information at this webpage.
