Social challenges
Government organisations work with data from citizens and business owners to deliver the right services. Citizens, however, often have very little control over that data. The government must be transparent about this so that everyone knows what information the government has on a citizen. It should be easy to see which government organisation is using your data, when and why. If something is incorrect, it should be easy to amend it. We also want everyone to have digital access to the data the government has on you so you can share it with others, for example, to buy a house.
Results achieved by 2023
- Through Oveheid.nl, everyone can see what data the government has on you, including your job, state pension, house, car, and education. Citizens can now also see the data the government most commonly uses.
- Through MijnOverheid.nl, anyone can see which organisations are notified when personal data in the personal records database changes.
