Document background
The Privacy Notice Statement is a mandatory document under both the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Dutch privacy law. It must be provided wherever personal data is collected from data subjects in the Netherlands, whether directly or indirectly. This document fulfills the transparency requirements of GDPR Articles 13 and 14, providing clear information about data processing activities, data subject rights, and organizational practices. The Privacy Notice Statement should be written in clear, plain language and must be easily accessible to Dutch residents and other data subjects. It serves as both a legal compliance document and a trust-building tool, demonstrating the organization's commitment to data protection and privacy rights. Regular updates are required when processing activities change or at least annually to ensure continued accuracy and compliance.
