Handle non-public data with care

With an authorisation to access non-public and/or protected data in the Business Register and/or UBO register, you have privacy-sensitive personal data that are not public. It is therefore important that you handle this data with care.

Be careful when distributing this data internally or externally. For instance, do not share the data in files to which third parties also have access. Nor should you simply forward this data to external parties.

Furthermore, you are responsible for always keeping access codes and authorisations up to date. You may only make these available to those authorised to do so within your organisation. This reduces the risk of unauthorised use of authorisations. This prevents privacy-sensitive data from becoming public and reduces the risk of a data leak.

Examples of personal data

• Business Register
  • Non-public personal data: citizen service number (BSN), gender, place and country of birth of owners.
  • Non-public private and restricted, and non-public visiting addresses of owners, partners, officers, and entities.

• UBO register
  • All UBO data including shielded and non-public UBO data, such as BSN, foreign tax identification number, date of birth (including month/year), place and country of birth, state of residence, and nationality.
