Document background
The Data Protection Privacy Notice is a mandatory document required for any organization operating in Belgium that processes personal data. It fulfills the transparency obligations under both the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Belgian Data Protection Act of 2018. This document must be provided to data subjects at the time their personal data is collected and should be easily accessible, written in clear language, and comprehensive in its coverage of data processing activities. The notice needs to address specific Belgian legal requirements while maintaining compliance with broader EU data protection standards. It serves multiple purposes: informing data subjects about their rights, documenting compliance with legal obligations, and demonstrating transparency in data processing activities. Regular reviews and updates are necessary to ensure the notice remains accurate and compliant with evolving data protection laws and organizational practices.
