Therefore, it is possible for data to be misused for purposes they are not intended for. In addition, a lot of sensitive data from municipalities. This is to include medical information of children in Youth care walk, the long-term sick and the elderly. Also, criminal-law data, such as a person’s criminal record, come from municipalities.
The CBP points out that it is probably illegal to the transfer of tasks to municipalities as to perform. The CBP suggests that there is a “without further specifying the purpose and the required data” the personal data protection Act may be violated.
Plasterk has not yet responded to the letter of the CBP, that calls for a so-called Privacy Impact Assessment, a study of the impact of the plans on the privacy. The transfer of care responsibilities to the municipalities, a spending cut of the government-Rutte II, would, in 2015, should take place.
