Privacy and General Data Protection Regulation

Privacy is a sensitive issue, especially when it comes to children. Educational institutions hold data on their pupils and students and it is essential that this is handled with care. To prevent abuse, there are laws and regulations that protect privacy. What is and is not allowed and how this is enforced is not always clear. Kienhuis Legal helps you translate the rules into practical action points.

Data processing


In the field of privacy in education, education law and privacy law converge. Both jurisdictions have special regulations that apply when it comes to the processing of data. Due to innovations in the digital field and the optimisation of pupil or student tracking systems, it is necessary to properly safeguard this data for educational institutions.


What we do

We translate the open standards from the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG, Algemene Verordening Gegevensbescherming) and other regulations around information security into practical action points. By doing this carefully, we reduce the chance of conflicts about the lawfulness of the processing. In the unlikely event that a(n imminent) fine or other measures are taken by the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens), our specialists are ready to assist you.
