What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

The Netherlands gives the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) domestic effect through the UAVG (GDPR Implementation Act, Wet van 16 mei 2018), in force since 25 May 2018 alongside the GDPR itself. UAVG Chapter 2 (Arts. 6-21a) establishes the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP) as supervisory authority, and Chapters 3-4 supply national derogations under GDPR Articles 6, 9, 10, and 23.

UAVG Article 1's definitions add only four defined terms and do not redefine any GDPR term including biometric data, so nothing in UAVG narrows a GDPR definition.
