These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
What this law does
The controller of police data must always tell the person concerned who the controller is, why the data are processed, what rights the person has under Articles 25 and 28, and how to complain to the Autoriteit persoonsgegevens. A person may ask the controller in writing and must receive an answer within six weeks on whether police data about the person are processed and, if so, may inspect them.
A person may ask in writing for incorrect police data about the person to be rectified and for incomplete data to be completed. A person may ask in writing for destruction of police data about the person that are processed contrary to a legal rule or must be destroyed to meet a legal obligation. The controller must notify the person in writing within four weeks of the follow-up given to the request.
A request for access, rectification or destruction of police data is refused so far as that is a necessary and proportionate measure to avoid obstructing judicial inquiries or proceedings, to avoid adverse effects on the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of penalties, to protect public security, to protect the rights and freedoms of others, or to protect national security.
