Joint controllership

Joint controllers are controllers who jointly determine the purposes and means of processing personal data. Joint controllers are responsible for ensuring that the processing of personal data complies with the law. Joint controllers agree together on the areas of responsibility of each of them in order to comply with the obligations laid down in the EU General Data Protection Regulation. 

When the Ministry of Transport and Communications processes personal data in the Government’s shared information systems, the Ministry of Transport and Communications and the Prime Minister's Office are joint controllers. For more information on joint controllers, see the website of the Prime Minister’s Office. 

The Ministry of Transport and Communications, the Transport and Communications Agency Traficom, the Transport Infrastructure Agency and the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment are joint controllers when the Ministry of Transport and Communications processes personal data within the transport system plan complying with the Act on the Transport System and Highways (503/2005).
