The Association has developed basic data protection guidelines for actors in the municipal sector. These guidelines help municipalities interpret fundamental data protection concepts and organize responsibilities for data protection work more effectively and consistently, with the aim of safeguarding the data of municipal residents.
The guidelines address data protection at a general level, ensuring they are useful across all municipal sectors and operations, as well as for other municipal-sector entities, such as joint municipal authorities and regional councils.
