Document background
A Privacy Waiver is essential in situations where organizations need to process personal data in ways that require explicit consent and potential modification of standard privacy rights. This document, governed by Belgian law and EU GDPR requirements, provides a formal framework for obtaining valid consent from data subjects while ensuring their fundamental rights are protected. It is particularly relevant in scenarios such as research studies, marketing campaigns, or special data processing activities where standard privacy notices are insufficient. The document must comply with both the Belgian Data Protection Act of 2018 and GDPR requirements, including clear specification of the purpose of processing, scope of the waiver, and retained rights. It should be used when standard privacy policies and consent forms are inadequate for specific data processing needs, while ensuring that any waiver of privacy rights remains within the bounds of applicable law.
