Document background
The Personal Data Notice is a mandatory document required under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Dutch data protection law. It must be provided to individuals whose personal data is being processed, typically at the point of data collection. The notice ensures transparency in data processing activities and helps organizations comply with their legal obligations under both EU and Dutch law. It should be used whenever an organization collects and processes personal data in the Netherlands, whether from customers, employees, suppliers, or other individuals. The document must include specific information required by Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR, such as the purposes of processing, legal bases, data subject rights, and transfer mechanisms. The notice should be written in clear, plain language and be easily accessible to all data subjects.
