Confidential Personal Data
The municipality maintains your personal data in the Basic Register of Persons (BRP). Various organizations may receive your personal data from the BRP. Which organizations these are depends in part on your personal situation—for example, whether you have children or a driver’s license. Find out which organizations may receive your personal data on the Dutch government’s website .
If you do not want certain organizations to receive your personal data, you can ask the municipality to keep it confidential. You can also request this on behalf of your children under the age of 16.
How does it work?
If you would prefer that your personal data not be shared with others, you can ask the municipality to keep your information confidential. You always have the right to this confidentiality and do not need to provide a reason for requesting it. Your personal data will then not be shared with:
- non-commercial organizations, such as sports and music clubs or charities;
- organizations that provide health care to patients in a facility;
- (after weighing the interests) organizations that perform judicial functions;
- The Interdenominational Membership Registry Foundation (SILA), which maintains membership records for religious denominations. Your information may still appear in SILA’s own records. If you would like this information to be deleted, please contact SILA at or your religious denomination.
Under confidentiality provisions, the municipality will only disclose your information to required authorities, such as the police, the judicial system, and the tax authorities.
The municipality will never disclose your personal data to:
- individuals
- commercial institutions
What should I do?
- Request that the municipality keep your personal information confidential.
- You can revoke the confidentiality of your personal data at any time.

If you have requested confidentiality and subsequently move to another municipality, you do not need to request confidentiality again.
What do I need?
