At the end of August, industry association NLdigital's 'Data Pro Code' was approved. This is the first self-regulatory code of conduct approved in the Netherlands under the AVG. The Data Pro Code provides member ICT companies with tools to develop the general rules from the AVG into sector-specific rules in practice.

Industry association NLdigital also takes care of the supervision of the code of conduct. An independent supervisory body monitors compliance with the code of conduct and handles complaints.

Being affiliated to approved codes of conduct is an efficient way for organisations to demonstrate compliance with all AVG obligations.
