According to the Biobank Act (688/2012), samples and data can be stored in
biobank if the donor has given a written consent.
Once you give a biobank
consent, it is valid until further notice. You can withdraw your consent at any
time by notifying Helsinki Biobank in writing. If you do so, your samples and
data will no longer be handed over for new research projects. You may also limit
your consent on an individual basis. Please notice, that handling limitations in
the biobank is not always possible and you may be regarded as having withdrawn
your consent.
