Uitvoeringswet Algemene verordening gegevensbescherming (UAVG), GDPR Implementation Act
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, confirmed by direct fetch, add only four defined terms and do not redefine any GDPR term including biometric data, so nothing in UAVG narrows a GDPR definition.
What it asks of an app
- Establish a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 6 lawful basis before processing personal data of a person in the Netherlands, following the UAVG's institutional and procedural rules and Chapter 3-4 national derogations.
