The Release of Information document serves as a critical tool in the Dutch legal framework for managing the authorized disclosure of personal data. It is commonly used when organizations need to share personal information with third parties while maintaining compliance with the AVG (Dutch GDPR) and other relevant privacy regulations. This document becomes necessary in various scenarios, such as sharing medical records between healthcare providers, transferring employee information between organizations, or providing personal data to government authorities. The document must explicitly detail the scope of information being released, the purpose of the disclosure, and the duration of the authorization. It should also incorporate specific provisions required under Dutch privacy law, including data subject rights, security measures, and conditions for data processing. The Release of Information document is particularly important in sectors handling sensitive personal data and requires careful consideration of both privacy regulations and sector-specific requirements.
