Document background
The Global Privacy Notice is a fundamental document required for organizations processing personal data to comply with transparency obligations under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Dutch privacy law. This document becomes necessary when an organization collects and processes personal data of individuals, whether they are customers, employees, or other stakeholders. The notice must be provided at the time of data collection and should be easily accessible to all data subjects. Under Dutch law, particularly the UAVG (Dutch GDPR Implementation Act), organizations must provide specific information about their data processing activities, including the purposes and legal bases for processing, data subject rights, and international transfer mechanisms. The Global Privacy Notice serves as a primary tool for transparency and helps organizations demonstrate compliance with data protection principles while building trust with their stakeholders.
