Document background
The Client Privacy Notice is a mandatory document under both the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Belgian data protection law. It must be provided to clients when collecting their personal data and serves as a transparent explanation of data processing activities. The notice should be written in clear, plain language and must include specific information required by Article 13/14 of GDPR and the Belgian Data Protection Act of 2018. Organizations operating in Belgium must ensure their Client Privacy Notice reflects both EU-wide requirements and specific Belgian national provisions, particularly regarding data subject rights, local regulatory authorities, and any sector-specific requirements. The document should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in data processing activities or regulatory requirements.
