Document background
The Data Protection Notice is a mandatory document required under Belgian law and EU GDPR for organizations processing personal data. It must be provided to data subjects at the time their personal data is collected or, if obtained indirectly, within a reasonable period thereafter. The notice should be written in clear, plain language and must include specific information required by Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR, while also complying with Belgian Data Protection Act requirements. This document is essential for ensuring transparency in data processing activities and helping organizations demonstrate compliance with data protection principles. It should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in data processing activities or regulatory requirements.
