Privacy statement: application form QR-code for people with no citizen service number or DigiD who have been tested/vaccinated by the GGD

Who are we and what do we do?
You can use the coronavirus pass application form for people with no citizen service number or DigiD who have been tested/vaccinated by the GGD to apply for a coronavirus pass. The application that you submit using this form goes to GGD GHOR Nederland (specifically: the National Coordination Foundation for COVID-19 Control (LCCB)). GGD GHOR Nederland is the umbrella organisation for the 25 regional GGD organisations and as such coordinates national processes. GGD GHOR Nederland also manages the GKVI system on behalf of the GGDs. The regional GGDs are the organisations that implement testing, source and contact tracing, and vaccinations. More specifically, as the controller, the regional GGDs perform their statutory task* in order to provide citizens with the data needed for coronavirus passes. That is why GGD GHOR sends your application on to the regional GGD responsible for your application. This regional GGD will then process your application.

Bases and purposes
We do not process your personal data without having a specific purpose for doing so and having a legal basis for this processing. A legal basis means that there is a reason provided for by law for processing personal data. We process your personal data in respect of the application form on the basis of the legal obligation to collect, share and retain certain personal data. As the processor, we base processing on the legal obligation of the GGDs to provide citizens with the data needed for coronavirus passes.

In addition, the purpose of the processing of personal data must be defined clearly and for the processing. The personal data collected must be necessary for the purpose for which this data was collected.

What personal data do we process?
In the context of GKVI requests, GGD GHOR Nederland processes the following categories of personal data:

  • Name and address details including your first and last name, street, house number, postcode, town, country, telephone number and email address;
  • Optional: V-number, citizen service number and patient number;
  • Health data, including the answer to the question of whether you have been tested positive by the GGD in the last six months, whether you received your most recent vaccination or booster shot from the GGD, the date, place and GGD region of the most recent vaccination/booster or positive test; and
  • Your application (recovery certificate or vaccination certificate).


Who processes your personal data?

GGD GHOR Nederland processes your personal data now that you have submitted these personal data yourself by means of the form that has been filled in and linked to GGD GHOR Nederland’s systems. We also share your personal data with the regional GGD so that it can, if applicable, provide you with a coronavirus pass. We also use a sub-processor (Bizway B.V.), which makes the relevant web form and makes it available online. We have concluded a data processing agreement in which agreements are made about what may be done with your personal data and how it will be properly secured. The personal data are not processed outside of the European Economic Area.

How long do we keep your personal data?
We do not keep your personal data longer than necessary. We do so based on a legal basis and based on a data retention policy. At the end of the retention period your personal data is destroyed. The regional GGDs have their own data retention periods. For more information about these data retention periods, please go to your municipality’s GGD. You can find this on www.ggd.nl (in Dutch).

  • You have the right to receive correct information about what happens to your personal data.
