Document background
The Privacy Agreement is essential for organizations operating under Belgian jurisdiction that process personal data as part of their operations. This document type is specifically designed to comply with the Belgian Data Protection Act of 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other relevant Belgian privacy laws. The Privacy Agreement should be implemented when an organization needs to establish clear guidelines for personal data processing, detail data subject rights, outline security measures, and ensure regulatory compliance. It typically includes comprehensive information about data collection purposes, processing methods, retention periods, and security measures, while incorporating specific requirements from the Belgian Data Protection Authority. This document is particularly crucial following the implementation of GDPR and its subsequent interpretation under Belgian law, serving as a fundamental tool for establishing transparency and trust between data controllers and data subjects.
