Police Data Protection Act (Wpg) Privacy Statement.

What does the municipality process personal data for under the Police Data Act (Wpg)? 

Under the Wpg, personal data are processed for various purposes. These purposes are described in Wpg Articles 8, 9 and 13, such as: 

• Writing a police report when a criminal offense has been committed. 
• Handle, administer and financially settle litigation-related payments, such as granting objections, applying the grace period, applying deductions and payment arrangements. 
• Investigation and detection of criminal suspects (including graffiti incidents). 
• Detection of suspects of spitting incidents to enable prosecution by prosecutors. 
   

What personal data is processed under the Police Data Act?   

When notifying a police report, we record contact information, place and date of birth, a description of the offense with its time and place, the BSN, the type of ID and the number of the ID. We also collect financial data when paying an official report and/or making payment arrangements.

It is possible to submit a leniency request for an official report. We will then collect, in addition to the information already provided with the request, contact information, place and date of birth, court record number and any other information applicable to the offense.

If we report the incident to the police, we collect contact information, place and date of birth, "tag" and/or "sign" in a graffiti incident and time, place and type of offense to the extent possible.  

When signaling offenders, locating criminal suspects and conducting investigations into crimes committed, we also use camera footage. 

What is the basis for processing?  

Personal data may not be processed just like that; a so-called processing basis is required. The basis on which the boas process personal data for the Wpg is to carry out a legal obligation.
The boas process personal data on the grounds of: 

• Code of Criminal Procedure; 
• Police Data Act; 
• Extraordinary Investigating Officer Decree; 
• General Administrative Order (APV).

How long do we keep personal data?
The Wpg contains statutory time limits for how long police data can be kept. Once this period is reached, the personal data must be permanently deleted.

We keep camera images of stations, stops, buildings and grounds - if there has been no incident - for a maximum of 28 days.

We store camera images used in the performance of police duties (think of images showing an incident or a crime committed) to transfer to the police in criminal proceedings. 

With whom will personal data be shared?

Only authorized employees are granted access to the data. They may only view the data they need for their work. It is possible that we grant access to employees of the police or municipality. They too are given access only to the data they need for their work. The actions of employees in systems are logged. We thus keep track of who performs what action at what time in a particular file. The recipients of the data are bound to secrecy.

When we issue a summons, we check data in the Basic Registration of PersonsBRP). We do this again after sending the first payment reminder because of black driving, for example.

Sometimes it is necessary for the municipality to provide registered personal data to third parties. For example, to the Central Judicial Collection Agency (CJIB) or to the Public Prosecutor's Office (OM) or the police because of an incident in which the municipality files a report.

In addition, we sometimes share personal data with processors who process personal data on behalf of and for the municipality. These processors include collection agencies, cloud and hosting parties and IT service providers. A processing agreement is in place with these processors, which sets out the mutual rights and obligations for processing.
