The Dutch law AVG & the EU Law GDPR
What are your basic rights, and what is allowed by law to be requested, when someone has your personal data?
A few tips of your entitlements by law enforment.
To clarify: You have to ACTIVELY agree with something, to process your data. Automaticly, such as tracking cookies are not allowed without Active consent! Furthermore a company can only approach you when you were a client in the past, for let's say a newsletter. But at the time of sending the newsletter, you're obligated to have an unsubscribe button, and cannot send any mail anymore.

Civil rights are:
- Right to view personal data
- Right to change personal data
- Right to delete personal data
- Give active permission:
- It's only justified by means of an active procedure.
- When you have the option to check the settings, please do so, if not, your agreeing to everything you do not know of. Adjust the settings, and agree.
- As the AVG Applies to the Netherlands specifically, I was told that a website cannot be blocked anymore, forcing you to agree on the Privacy Policy / Cookie.
- Not the law, but interpreting it, should let you visit any website, either with or without consent.
- It's only justified by means of an active procedure.
