Wpg (Dutch Police Data Act)
The Wet politiegegevens governs the processing of police data, including by special investigating officers (boa's) at Dutch municipalities and regional services. Annual internal audits and periodic external audits are mandatory.
About this standard
Wpg (Dutch Police Data Act) in brief
Organisations employing special investigating officers fall under the Wpg for that data processing, with its own regime alongside the GDPR: stricter purpose limitation, authorisations, retention periods and a mandatory audit cycle with annual internal audits and a four-yearly external audit.
The library contains the NOREA Wpg guidance with the corresponding legislation-to-control links. Privorium supports Wpg accountability alongside the GDPR in one environment.

Frequently asked questions
When does my organisation fall under the Wpg?
As soon as you employ special investigating officers (boa's), for example at a municipality, regional service or transport company, the processing of their investigation data falls under the Dutch Police Data Act, with its own regime alongside the GDPR.
Which audits does the Wpg prescribe?
An annual internal compliance audit and at least once every four years an external audit by an independent auditor. Results go to the Dutch Data Protection Authority on request.
