Privacy

In the Netherlands, privacy is regarded as a fundamental right. The right to privacy is stipulated in Article 10 of the Dutch Constitution and entails that everyone has the right to respect for his or her privacy. In other words: the right to be left alone.

This right has been further elaborated in various laws and regulations in the Netherlands. The most important of these is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR has replaced the Dutch Personal Data Protection Act (Wet Bescherming Persoonsgegevens) and entered into effect throughout the entire European Union on 25 May 2018.
