Software and Technology
Concerned about data protection?
The development and introduction of new technology is one of the main reasons for the GDPR and data protection regulations.
Thanks to new software and technology, large amounts of personal data can be processed, transferred and shared quickly and easily. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automated profiling enable much greater characterization and segmentation of individuals, better targeting and more informed decision-making.
The GDPR ensures that tech and software organisations respect and protect personal data. To achieve compliance, special attention must be paid to determining the purpose for which the data is used, all data flows must be understood and mapped from the outset. Data transfers with third parties and across borders must also be managed and how individuals' data is used by them must be clearly and transparently defined.
Op deze pagina wordt uitgelegd wat de wetgeving op het gebied van gegevensbescherming betekent voor software- en technologieorganisaties en waarmee zij rekening moeten houden bij het beheer van persoonsgegevens.
What does the legislation mean for software and technology organisations?
Like all organisations, software and technology organisations must:
- Be transparent in the way they process personal data and are responsible for it
- Being able to discover, manage, repair, prevent and report on data leaks. If necessary, contact should be made with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP).
- Have insight into the data they have, where it is stored and who has access to it
- Implement effective processes and procedures to protect personal data
- To enable users, staff, customers, suppliers and other persons to:
- Have access to the data that is stored
- Ensure that the data is correct and change it if necessary
- Have it removed (unless there is a legal obligation to do so)
- To appoint a data protection officer if they:
- Process data at scale
- Use the data for profiling or automated decision-making
Key data protection considerations for software and technology organisations
Software and technology organisations must protect personal data in many of their activities. Some important considerations are:
Gegevensstromen in kaart brengen
- Een duidelijke omschrijving van het doel waarvoor de gegevens worden gebruikt

- Beheer van toestemming
- Transparante uitleg over het gebruik van de gegevens aan alle gebruikers
- Invoering van ingebouwde privacybeginselen
Share data with others
- Transfers with third parties
- Gegevensoverdracht buiten de EU
- Processor agreements
Processing large amounts of data
- Appointment of a data protection officer
- Profiling and automated decision-making
