An External Privacy Notice is a mandatory document required for any organization operating in the Netherlands that processes personal data of individuals. This document must comply with both the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and specific Dutch privacy laws, including the Dutch GDPR Implementation Act (UAVG). The notice serves as a primary communication tool between organizations and data subjects, providing transparent information about data processing activities, data subject rights, and compliance measures. It should be written in clear, plain language and must be easily accessible to the public. The External Privacy Notice needs regular reviews and updates to reflect any changes in data processing activities or regulatory requirements, and must be available in languages appropriate for the intended audience, typically including Dutch and English for organizations operating in the Netherlands.
