Organizations may disclose your personal data to others if there is a good reason to do so. And if they comply with the conditions in the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG). Read more about the AVG and your privacy rights.
There are 6 situations in which organizations may disclose your personal information to others:
With your consent, organizations can give your personal data to others. Consent is only valid if it is clear what you are consenting to and the consequences.
Do you have an agreement with an organization? Or are you about to enter into one? If so, the organization may give your personal data to others for the performance of that agreement. For example, a telecom company may give your personal data to a mail company. For example, to have a cell phone delivered to your home.
The performance of a legal obligation sometimes requires the transmission of personal data. An example of such an obligation is the General State Tax Act. This allows the tax inspector to demand any data that may be important for taxation.
This may include an urgent medical need. For example, if you are unconscious, you cannot give your consent. Then your personal data may be given to a doctor without your consent.
The government may disclose personal data if necessary for the proper performance of its duties. For example, the Openbaar Ministerie (OM) may pass on information about a fraud case to insurers.
The organization must ask itself whether less data, or a less intrusive path will give the same result. The organization must also conduct a privacy test. This means the organization must weigh your interest and rights against the organization's interest.
