Every person entered into the register has the right to request a correction to their personal information in case or an error. Requests for corrections must be submitted to the contact person of the register who will then rectify the error.

The registered person has the right to refer the matter to the data protection supervisory authority at Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman, P.O. Box 800, 00531 Helsinki.
