Belgium overview
Belgium has a national GDPR overlay
The GDPR applies directly, but it leaves Member States choices in areas such as children, employment, sensitive data, research, freedom of expression, public-sector processing and supervisory procedure. Belgium uses its national law to exercise those choices.
National law
BE-DPA-2018: Act of 30 July 2018
What to assess
Start with the GDPR baseline, then assess the national provisions concerning age-13 consent, sensitive and criminal data, research safeguards and specialised supervision. Apply sector legislation and regulator measures where the national law refers to them.
Compliance method
Use the country-specific law page and controls as a delta layer. Retain the current official text, an applicability decision and evidence for every national rule implemented.
