Registration Dutch Privacy Awards 2019 open!

"The Privacy Award is the most important award in the Netherlands for organisations and companies that want to deal with privacy in a positive way. Privacy as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. This year, the jury will put extra emphasis on the fact that privacy should be more than informed-consent and giving control to citizens. Much more in fact", said Bart van der Sloot, chairman of the independent jury.

Conditions for participation

A prerequisite for participation is that you are already working on your privacy innovation. You have passed the idea stage and can already show something of the project in progress. With your project, you provide inspiration to other organisations so that privacy is not seen as an obstacle, but as an opportunity!

The first selection consists of a screening on which the following will be dealt with:

(a) Having a privacy officer (FG, PO) in the organisation

(b) Application of a privacy policy

(c) Application of risk analysis(s)

d) Privacy awareness in the organisation

(e) An insightful privacy policy and communication thereof.

Then the contestants who are nominated are screened for things like:

f) Innovative ability: the product, process or service offers a privacy novelty and has not yet been technically and/or commercially proven in the market;

g) Social impact: the innovation contributes to privacy and benefits the protection of personal data and the individual;

h) Focus: the product, process or service adds significant value to the market/consumer;

i) Self-reliance: the product, process or service is economically realisable within a realistic timeframe (ca 3 years). There is a business model.

There is also the possibility that the jury will make an announced (confidential) company visit to the nominee.
